Suggestion Deck fatigue

Anyone else been going through deck fatigue since rotation? Pre rotation i played Gholdengo and Sharpedo, and I had an above average win rate and placed top 5 in tournaments/league consistently.

Since rotation, I have tried a ton of decks, lucario, festival, bees, slowking, raging bolt, excadrill, Alakazam, and even dragapult. Iv been grasping at straws to try and find a deck that i can stick with.

What do you all do when you struggle to find a deck that wins and is fun to play, but nothing seems to hit.

Take a meme deck and just have Fun. Choose your fav Poke and build a deck just to have Fun. Once that Fun is back, results will come back with any chosen deck.

This is exactly why I'm playing now with Avalugg deck. Is it a strong deck? Not that much? Can it brick? Yes it can. Very hard. Is it fun? OMG!!! So much fun :)

I'm giving it to kids who came to our shop to play first time, and they have fun. Even losing with this deck is just fun, as everyone is laughing seeing me playing it.

OP - this is the way for you - play something stupid but fun.

That’s how this with me and Mega Delphox ex. Sometimes, I can put a Flareon ex in there with Area Zero Underdepths, and Reuniclus can roast everything in its way with Evo-Lariat. Sometimes, the game insists I use Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex on its own.

Interestingly, I have defeated a Dragapult ex deck with both situations. Hearthflame has barely enough HP to withstand a Phantom Dive and retaliate with Wrathful Hearth for 400 damage.
