Whimsicott ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Fire-type Pokemon.

Discard the opponent's Stadium and Pokemon Tools.

KO Combee before it evolves.

Whimsicott ex is the main threat in this deck. It can deal 130 to 160 damage with only 2 Energy if they are able to attack into Pokemon with high Retreat Costs. Fragrant Forest allows the opponent to find Cottonee and Spinarak. Ariados can increase your Pokemon's Retreat Cost, further increasing Whimsicott ex's damage output.

It is best to use fast and powerful Fire-type Pokemon to counter this deck. Mega Blaziken ex and Shining Revelry Charizard ex are great to use if you can evolve them with Rare Candy early.

Mega Charizard X ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Water-type Pokemon.

KO Charmander or Charmeleon early.

Use Water-type Pokemon with low attack costs and are quick to set up to immediately start KO-ing the Fire-type Pokemon in this deck. Cards like Suicune ex and Starmie ex are great for this since they only need 2 Water Energy to start attacking and can deal considerable damage.

You will want to prevent Mega Charizard X ex from getting set up, so target the Pokemon in its evolution line like Charmander and Charmeleon first. If Mega Charizard X ex gets set up, you may want to consider conceding and trying the battle again.

Professor's Research ×2

Greninja ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Lightning-type Pokemon.

KO Froakie or Frogadier early.

Suicune ex is this deck's main early-game attacker. It has a low Attack Cost, and can draw more cards with its Ability. This helps find evolution cards to evolve and set up Greninja or Greninja ex early. All of the Pokemon in the deck besides Chien-Pao ex are weak to Lightning.

Chien-Pao ex can snipe a Benched Pokemon if it is able to set up, so take note of then Energy attached to this Pokemon whenever you bench a low-HP Pokemon.

You can use Lightning-type Pokemon to counter this deck. Pom-Pom Style Oricorio is a great choice, as it will not take damage from ex Pokemon. Magnezone from Crimson Blaze is also a great choice.

Miraidon ex is this deck's Ace Pokemon, but it is most impactful in the mid to late game. Consider the opponent to be at a disadvantage if it starts with Miraidon ex. Pile on damage onto the Magnemites whenever possible because Magnezone ex will be tough to KO later in the game due to its high 180 HP.

Fighting-type decks are best to use against this deck.

This deck aims to apply early pressure with Falinks as it sets up a Mega Lucario ex on the Bench. Koraidon ex sometimes works as an alternate attacker that can immediately attack if enough Energy is on the opponent's board.

Beware of the deck's damage multipliers like Korrina and Arena of Antiquity, and keep your Pokemon out of KO range!

Team Rocket's Moltres ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Water-type Pokemon.

KO Charmander and Charmeleon before they evolve.

Consider conceding if Mega Charizard Y ex is set up early.

This deck's aces, Mega Charizard Y ex and Team Rocket's Moltres ex, focus on accelerating Energy to unleash their powerful attacks as fast as possible. Flame Patch is used to attach discarded energy, while Victini is there to reroll coin flips from Team Rocket's Moltres ex.

You may use a fast, Water-type attacker to land KOs before your opponents can attack. Suicune ex is a good option, as it can attack with 2 Energy, and can deal great damage when many Benched Pokemon are in play.

You may want to KO Charmander and Charmeleon quickly to prevent them from evolving to Typhlosion ex. You may use Sabrina or Cyrus to move them to the Active Spot.

Professor's Research ×2

Team Rocket's Articuno ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Lightning-type Pokemon.

Increase or heal your Pokemon's HP.

Consider conceding if Team Rocket's Articuno ex sets up early.

Mega Sharpedo ex acts as a strong early-game attacker that can generate Energy for its Benched allies. Since it has no Retreat Cost, it can easily return to the Bench, allowing Team Rocket's Articuno ex and Team Rocket's Lapras to attack. Misty and Elemental Switch can also generate more Energy for the attackers.

It is best to use fast Lightning-type Pokemon to counter this deck. Raikou ex, Tapu Koko ex, and Zeraora are good early-game attackers. Pom-Pom Style Oricorio can also be good to use, though you will have to be careful when faced against Team Rocket's Lapras.

It is also good to have mid- to late-game attackers that can deal more significant damage. Magnezone ex, Crimson Blaze Magnezone, or Space-Time Smackdown Magnezone are good choices.

It may be good to bring cards that heal or increase your Pokemon's HP. This will prevent them from being in KO range. Lillie, Pokemon Center Lady, and Giant Cape are good options.

Team Rocket's Zapdos ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Fighting-type Pokemon.

Bring cards that heal or increase your HP.

Avoid attacking Team Rocket's Electrode directly.

Team Rocket's Electrode is a fast attacker that baits you to land a KO on it. Once it is defeated in the Active Spot, it deals 70 damage to its attacker. This allows Team Rocket's Zapdos ex to KO the damaged Pokemon in the Active Spot and Bench.

It is best to use fast and bulky Fighting-types. Donphan ex and Mega Lopunny ex are good early-game options. For the mid to late game, Rampardos is a good choice as it can OHKO all your opponent's Pokemon.

To avoid being in KO range, it is best to bring cards that heal or increase your HP. Lillie, Pokemon Center Lady, and Giant Cape are good options.

Alternatively, you can try to avoid damaging Team Rocket's Electrode with attacks while it is in the Active Spot. You may send it to the Bench using Sabrina or Cyrus, then attack it using Hitmonlee. You may also inflict indirect damage through Abilities, Pokemon Tools, or Status Effects.

Professor's Research ×2

Team Rocket's Slowking ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Darkness-type Pokemon.

Reduce the number of cards in your opponent's hand.

Discard the opponent's Stadium Card.

This deck revolves around drawing as many cards as possible. This strategy powers up Team Rocket's Slowking ex, as its attack gets stronger with more cards in its player's hand.

Fast and Energy-efficient Darkness-type Pokemon can effectively counter this deck. Mega Absol ex, Hoopa ex, and Hydreigon are good options.

It is also best to have Trainer Cards such as Mars and Red Card that can reduce the number of cards in your opponent's hand. You may also want to discard the opponent's Peculiar Plaza with a Stadium of your own, such as Bounded Field or Kid's Room. This prevents opponents from being able to Retreat without much cost.

X Speed ×1	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2

Team Rocket's Weezing ex Deck Strategy

Use fast and powerful Pokemon.

Bring cards that can heal Special Conditions

Consider conceding if Weezing ex and Magmar are set up early.

This deck revolves around inflicting Special Conditions or Status Effects on its opponents. Poison Barb can inflict Poison, while Team Rocket's Master Plan inflicts Confusion. Team Rocket's Weezing ex inflicts both Poison and Burn when it evolves. Team Rocket's Magmar can then deal great damage to a Pokemon inflicted with 2 or more Special Conditions.

It is best to use Pokemon that can attack quickly and deal a lot of damage. Mega Blaziken ex and Mega Lucario ex are good options, as they are also fairly bulky. Rampardos is also good as a non-ex option. However, keep in mind that your opponent can land quick KOs before your Pokemon can get set up. Expect to restart the battle if you get unlucky.

It is best to have ways to heal Special Conditions. You evolve your Pokemon, or use healing cards such as Pokemon Center Lady. Alternatively, you may bring cards that lower your Pokemon's Retreat Cost, such as X Speed and Leaf. You may use these to heal Special Conditions by Benching your Pokemon.

Team Rocket's Raticate ex Deck Strategy

Use powerful Pokemon with low Attack Costs.

Quickly land KOs before Chien-Pao ex is set up.

Heal or increase your HP.

Many cards in your opponent's deck will prevent your Pokemon from attacking. Crawdaunt and Team Rocket Grunt can discard your energy. Team Rocket's Raticate ex can steal your Energy then use it to quickly attack your Pokemon. This can give way for Chien-Pao ex to set up and deal great damage.

It is best to use powerful Pokemon with low Attack Costs. Rampardos is the best option, as it only needs 1 Energy to attack. Tyrogue, Hitmonchan ex, and Donphan ex are great early-game options that can attack while Rampardos is being set up in the Bench.

It is best to score points as fast as possible in order to prevent the opponent's Chien-Pao ex from setting up. It may be good to bring healing cards such as Lillie or Pokemon Center Lady in order to avoid being in KO range. Alternatively, you may bring cards that increase max HP such as Giant Cape.

It is best to use fast and powerful Fire-type Pokemon to counter this deck. Mega Blaziken ex and Shining Revelry Charizard ex are great to use if you can evolve them with Rare Candy early.

You may also discard the opponent's Trainer Cards to disrupt their strategy. You can bring Guzma can discard the opponent's Lead Cape. It may also be good to use a Stadium Card of your own such as Bounded Field or Kid's Room to discard Fragrant Forest.

Wailord ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Lightning-type Pokemon.

Bring cards that can heal Status Conditions.

Discard the opponent's Stadium and Pokemon Tools.

Wailord ex is an extremely bulky Pokemon. It synergizes well with cards such as Heavy Helmet and Soothing Shore to increase its survivability. Milotic ex and Vaporeon are also good secondary attackers that can generate Energy for Wailord ex, allowing it to attack with Wondrous Waves faster.

It is best to use fast Lightning-type Pokemon to counter this deck. Tapu Koko ex is a good option, as it can quickly OHKO Feebas before it evolves. Pom-Pom Style Oricorio is also a great option that doesn't take damage from ex Pokemon. However, you will have to be careful, as Vaporeon can still attack it.

You can use Guzma to discard the opponent's Heavy Helmet, and use a Stadium such as Bounded Field to discard Soothing Shore.

It is best to use fast Pokemon that can OHKO Rotom ex to counter this deck. Rampardos and Hydreigon are great single-point options. However, you will need to be lucky in drawing Rare Candy in order to evolve them right away.

It may be good to increase your Pokemon's max HP with Pokemon Tools to survive Rotom ex's attacks. Giant Cape is a good option that fits most Pokemon, but you can use Leaf Cape or Elegant Cape if it suits your deck more.

Mega Gardevoir ex is a solid option, as it has a low Attack Cost and can OHKO Marshadow and Hitmonchan. It can also generate Energy for Mega Diancie ex, which can OHKO Mega Gallade ex if your Pokemon have enough Psychic Energy.

It is best to use Grass-type Pokemon with high HP in order to counter this deck. Meowscarada is a good single-point option that can deal a total of 150 damage to ex opponents. It can be paired with Decidueye, which can snipe Benched Pokemon. To increase their bulk, you may attach the Leaf Cape Pokemon Tool. You can also bring Lillie or Erika to heal any significant damage.

Use Pokemon with high-damage attacks.

Deal additional chip damage.

KO Brambleghast early.

This Mega Audino ex deck focuses on avoiding KOs by constantly healing. You may use high-damage cards such as Mega Lucario ex and Mega Charizard Y ex to land OHKOs, as this cannot be countered by healing.

Alternatively, you may use Pokemon that deal additional chip damage to counteract the healing. Mega Sceptile ex and Mega Blaziken ex can inflict Status Effects that deal additional damage on top of having high-damage attacks, making them good options to use.

Mega Charizard X ex & Entei ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Water-type Pokemon.

KO Charmander before it evolves.

Consider conceding if Mega Charizard X ex sets up early.

Entei ex is mostly used as this deck's early to mid-game attacker. With Charmeleon accelerating its Energy, it can deal up to 120 damage once it has at least 4 Energy. Mega Charizard X ex is then used in the late game, and it can deal a devastating 180 damage when its HP drops to 110 or below.

To counter this, you may use fast Water-type Pokemon in order to score KOs before the opponent sets up. Suicune ex is a good option, as it can attack with 2 Energy, and can deal great damage when many Benched Pokemon are in play. Alternatively, you may instead use Pom-Pom Oricorio in order to nullify damage from opposing ex Pokemon.

You can also KO Charmander early so you will not have to deal with Mega Charizard X ex. If it is not in the Active Spot, you may draw it out from the Bench using Cyrus or Sabrina.

Mega Slowbro ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Lightning-type Pokemon.

Use Protective Poncho on your Bench.

KO Mega Slowbro ex before it sets up.

This deck uses Phione to accelerate Mega Slowbro ex's Energy. Once Mega Slowbro ex is set up, it can use Laundry-Go-Round to attack all your Pokemon, including the ones in your Bench.

You may use Energy-efficient Lightning-type Pokemon to score KOs before Mega Slowbro ex sets up. Pom-Pom Style Oricorio is a great choice, as it cannot take damage from ex Pokemon. You may also use the likes of Zeraora or Tapu Koko ex.

To keep your Benched Pokemon safe, you may also use the Protective Poncho. Since you can only have 2 of them in your deck, it is best to use it on your main attackers or Pokemon that are in KO range.

Mega Manectric ex & Jolteon ex Deck Strategy

Use fast Fighting-type Pokemon.

Bring cards that increase or heal your HP.

KO Electrike before it evolves.

Jolteon ex is used as the early-game attacker of this deck. It can evolve immediately with Mega Rising Eevee's Ability, and can damage Pokemon that attach Energy with its Ability. Once it has scored 1 or 2 points, Mega Manectric ex can come in as a finisher. It will then deal boosted damage with it's attack's effect.

You may use Energy-efficient Fighting-type Pokemon to counter this deck. Not only can they land KOs quickly, but they can take minimal damage from Jolteon ex's Ability while still being able to attack. Rampardos is a great option, as it can deal a lot of damage for only 1 Energy.

Mega Manectric ex increases its damage output depending on how many points its player has gotten. To prevent your opponent from getting points, you may use cards that increase or heal your Pokemon's HP in order to keep them out of KO range.

Bring cards that increase or heal your HP.

Use Basic or Stage 1 Pokemon.

This deck uses Chingling to deal chip damage and prevent you from using Item Cards. Mega Gengar ex is then set up in the Bench, and is used in the late game to attack. Its attack can then prevent you from using Trainer Cards.

It is best to use fast Fighting-type Pokemon to lands KOs quickly. Since you may not be able to use Trainer Cards on certain turns, it is best to use Basic or Stage 1 Pokemon for an easier setup. Donphan ex and Mega Lopunny ex are good options.

Since Mega Gengar ex's attack is not that powerful, you may prevent it from landing an OHKO or 2HKO. You may do this by using cards that increase or heal your Pokemon's HP.

You may use fast Fire-type Pokemon to KO your opponents quickly. Mega Blaziken ex and Incineroar ex are good options that have enough bulk to survive one boosted hit from Mega Scizor ex.

The opponent can use Steel Apron and Metal Core Barrier to reduce the damage that they take. You may use Guzma in order to discard these Pokemon Tool Cards and land KOs reliably.

Consider conceding if Chien-Pao ex is set up early.

Chien-Pao ex is the most threatening Pokemon in your opponent's deck. It can deal 130 damage to any of your Pokemon. Baxcalibur supports it by accelerating its Energy.

You may want to KO Frigibax before it evolves into Baxcalibur in order to slow Chien-Pao ex's setup. You may pull it out of the Bench using Sabrina or Cyrus.

Chien-Pao ex is weak to Metal-type Pokemon. You may want to use strong and Energy-efficient Metal-types such as Gholdengo ex or Solgaleo ex.

Bellibolt ex & Tapu Koko ex Deck Strategy

KO Tadbulb before it evolves.

Discard the opponent's Electrical Cord.

Consider conceding if Bellibolt ex is set up early.

Bellibolt ex is a threatening Pokemon that can deal 160 damage when its player has 4 or more Energy in play. The opponent may use Tadbulb's Charge, Electrical Cord, and Electric Generator to accelerate its Energy. The opponent can also accelerate the Energy of other Pokemon such as Zeraora and Tapu Koko ex to aid Bellibolt ex.

It is ideal to use a fast and strong Fighting-type Pokemon such as Rampardos to land KOs quickly.

You will want to KO Tadbulb before it can evolve. Alternatively, you may send Bellibolt ex to the Bench once it is set up. For both of these instances, you may use Sabrina or Cyrus.

You may also want to bring Guzma in order to discard the opponent's Electrical Cord. This will remove one of Bellibolt ex's avenues of accelerating Energy.

Consider conceding if Gholdengo has gained 4 or more Energy early.

Gholdengo ex is a strong attacker that can damage both your Active Pokemon and your Bench. Dialga ex helps it do this effectively, using Metallic Turbo to accelerate Energy for Gholdengo ex.

You may use Fire-type Pokemon with low Attack Costs to land KOs quickly. Mega Blaziken ex and Shining Revelry Charizard ex are great to use if you can evolve them with Rare Candy early.

It is a good idea to fill up your Bench as much as possible. This may allow the damage from Spending Rush to be spread amongst your Pokemon. Doing this will lower the possibility of one Pokemon taking all of the damage and thus being Knocked Out.

You may use Fire-type Pokemon with low Attack Costs to counter them. Mega Blaziken ex and Shining Revelry Charizard ex are great to use if you can evolve them with Rare Candy early.

Use fast Water-type Pokemon.

KO Torchic early.

Consider conceding if Mega Blaziken ex is set up.

Mega Blaziken ex is a powerful card. It has great bulk, the ability to inflict Burn, and an efficient Attack Cost. On the other hand, Blacephalon ex can also inflict Burn and deal great damage with Pop-Punk. Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon supports them both by accelerating their Energy.

You may use a fast Water-type Pokemon to KO Torchic before it evolves. Suicune ex is a good option, as it has a low Attack Cost and can deal good damage with a filled-out bench. However, be sure to equip it with the Giant Cape to avoid getting OHKO'd.

You may also choose to send Mega Blaziken ex to the Bench in order to KO other Pokemon. You may use Greninja's Ability to damage a Pokemon from your opponent's Bench, then draw them out with Cyrus. This will give your main attacker the opportunity to land a KO.

Consider conceding once Mega Swampert ex is set up.

Suicune ex is this deck's main early-game attacker. It has a low Attack Cost, and can draw more cards with its Ability. This helps Mega Swampert ex evolve and set up early. Mantyke can then accelerate its Energy while it is still a Mudkip.

Mega Swampert ex can deal 150 damage per attack, which can make it difficult to deal with. You may defeat Mudkip early by drawing it out to the Active Spot using Sabrina or Cyrus.

You can use Lightning-type Pokemon to counter this deck. Pom-Pom Style Oricorio is a great choice, as it cannot take damage from ex Pokemon. You may also use the likes of Magnezone or Tapu Koko ex.

Minun can damage your Benched Pokemon if Plusle is also in play. This will give way for Toxtricity ex to attack both your Active Pokemon and your Bench with Damaging Spark. Electrical Cord ensures that the Energy from the Pokemon you KO'd will transfer onto it, allowing it to attack early.

You may use fast Fighting-type Pokemon in order to land KOs early. Energy-efficient options such as Mega Lopunny ex and Rampardos are good choices.

You can also opt to KO Toxel while it is still unevolved. You may do this by drawing it out to the Active Spot using Sabrina or Cyrus.

KO Ralts and Kirlia early.

Consider conceding if Mega Gardevoir ex is set up early.

Mega Gardevoir ex has access to Retreat Cost reduction and great healing, as well as being able to accelerate Energy for its allies. These factors can make it a difficult opponent to be up against.

Hydreigon and Mega Absol ex can counter this deck effectively. Hydreigon is a fast attacker that can accelerate its own Energy and deal a great amount of damage. On the other hand, Mega Absol ex can allow you to discard Diantha from your opponent's hand, which prevents Mega Gardevoir ex from healing.

You may also try to KO Ralts and Kirlia early to prevent them from evolving. If they are benched, you may use Sabrina or Cyrus to bring them to the Active Spot.

Passimian ex is a fast early-game attacker that can transfer Energy to Gigalith ex once it is knocked out. You may use a fast Psychic-type Pokemon such as Mega Altaria ex or Espeon ex to KO it quickly.

Gigalith ex is not that hard to deal with. It has a hefty Attack Cost and struggles to KO bulkier Pokemon. If your Pokemon is around 140 HP, you may want to increase your bulk with Giant Cape. This will help your Pokemon avoid getting OHKO'd. However, you will need to be cautious of the opponent's Guzma, which can discard your Pokemon Tools.

You may use fast and bulky Fire-type Pokemon such as Shining Revelry Charizard ex or Mega Blaziken ex in order to counter this deck. Since they have fairly high HP, they will be able to survive a couple of hits from Mega Mawile ex. You may bring cards that heal them or increase their HP to prevent them from getting knocked out.

Heat-Up Crunch's damage bonuses are reset when Mega Mawile ex gets sent to the Bench. If your opponent has Benched Pokemon, try to switch it in with Sabrina or Cyrus to stop Mega Mawile ex from gaining damage boosts.

You may also discard the Metal Core Barrier with Guzma in order to remove its damage reduction effect. This will allow you to land KOs more easily. However, do note that Galarian Perrserker can bring it back from the discard pile once it evolves.

Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon can accelerate Energy for Mega Kangaskhan ex. It is best to focus on knocking it out to avoid getting hit by Double-Punching Family early.

You may use Pokemon with low Attack Costs in order to attack and land KOs right away. Mega Lopunny ex can be used to take advantage of Mega Kangaskhan ex's Weakness. Alternatively, you may use Suicune ex to counter the Fire-types in this deck.

Mega Kangaskhan ex can be difficult to deal with due to its high damage output. You may send it to the Bench using Sabrina or Cyrus so you can focus on landing KOs on other Pokemon.

Consider conceding once Lugia ex is set up.

Lugia ex has a very strong attack in Elemental Blast, but it's major downside is that it requires three different types of Energy which need to be replenished after every use. Ho-oh ex provides all three of these Energy types with its attack.

To prevent Lugia ex from setting up, it's recommended to get rid of Ho-oh ex as soon as possible using Lightning-type Pokemon that are easy to set up such as Pom-Pom Style Oricorio. You may also use Repel to prevent your opponent from attacking after setting up.

Jumpluff ex & Shuckle ex Deck Strategy

Use Lightning-type Pokemon.

OHKO your opponent's Pokemon.

Reduce or prevent damage from the opponent's attacks.

Jumpluff ex can escape to the Bench once it attacks, making it harder to knock out. It is best to either KO it before it evolves, or use an attack that can defeat it in one hit.

You may use Lightning-type Pokemon for the Type advantage against Jumpluff ex. Zeraora can quickly take down its pre-evolutions, while Shining Revelry Pikachu ex can OHKO its fully evolved form. You may also use Pom-Pom Style Oricorio to prevent damage from the ex Pokemon in the opposing deck.

Consider conceding if Flareon ex evolves early.

Entei ex and Flareon ex can do great damage once fully set up. Entei ex's Legendary Pulse also allows the opponent to draw more cards, making it easier to find the right supports and evolutions. It is ideal to land KOs as fast as possible in order to secure the victory.

You may use Water-types for the Type advantage. You may use Misty or Mantyke in order to accelerate Energy and attack faster.

KO Feebas before it evolves.

Milotic can heal one of its allies once it evolves. Suicune ex makes it easier to search for with Legendary Pulse, which gives this deck good survivability.

You can KO Feebas early to prevent it from evolving. You may do this by drawing it out to the Active Spot using Sabrina or Cyrus.

You may also use Pokemon that can OHKO your opponents. Shining Revelry Pikachu ex is a good option for a finisher. Cards such as Pichu, Elemental Switch, and Electrical Cord can accelerate its Energy, helping it set up faster.

Discard the Electrical Cord with Guzma.

Consider conceding once Pikachu ex is set up.

Pikachu ex is a powerful finisher with high attacking power. Raikou ex helps it set up with Legendary Pulse, drawing more cards to search for supports that can accelerate its Energy.

It is best to use powerful Fighting-type Pokemon such as Rampardos for the Type advantage. It may also be good to discard the opponent's Electrical Cord with Guzma. This will prevent Pikachu ex from using it as a means to accelerate Energy.

Latios & Latias Deck Strategy

Use Darkness-type Pokemon.

KO Ralts and Kirlia before they evolve.

Pull Latios back to the Active Spot if it retreats.

You may use fast and Energy-efficient Darkness-type Pokemon. Weavile ex is a good choice, as it can deal 90 damage per hit against a damaged Pokemon with a Type disadvantage. It synergizes well with Darkrai ex and Rocky Helmet, which provide good additional damage.

You may prioritize knocking Ralts or Kirlia out to prevent Gardevoir from accelerating Energy. You may also bring Supporters such as Sabrina and Cyrus since Latios may retreat to the Bench to keep itself from being knocked out.

Poliwrath ex can deal great damage if it is set up with Water Energy. You may defeat its pre-evolutions before it can evolve. You can pull them out to the Active Spot using Sabrina or Cyrus.

You may use fast and Energy-efficient Lightning-types such as Zeraora to take out Poliwag and Poliwhirl. You may also opt to use Pom-Pom Oricorio in order to wall Poliwrath ex's damage.

Use Fire-type Pokemon.

KO Shuckle and Venusaur ex quickly.

Consider conceding once Venusaur ex is set up.

Both Shuckle ex and Venusaur ex are very bulky Pokemon, with their relatively high HP and Shuckle's Solid Shell Ability. This deck also provides multiple options for healing, so it may be difficult to get through these Pokemon.

It is recommended to use a Fire-type deck with strong Pokemon capable of knocking out Shuckle ex in one hit such as Charizard ex or Flareon ex. It's also a good idea to get rid of Bulbasaur and Ivysaur before they can evolve into Venusaur ex.

Focus on knocking out Ho-Oh ex and Lugia ex.

Consider conceding once Lugia ex is set up.

Lugia ex has a very strong attack in Elemental Blast, but it's major downside is that it requires three different types of Energy which need to be replenished after every use. Ho-Oh provides all three of these Energy types with its attack.

To prevent Lugia ex from setting up, it's recommended to get rid of Ho-Oh as soon as possible using Lightning-type Pokemon that are easy to set up such as Pom-Pom Style Oricorio.

Kingdra ex Deck Strategy

Use Lightning-type Pokemon.

KO Horsea and Seadra before they evolve.

Consider conceding once Kingdra ex has set up.

Kingdra ex is difficult to face once it is set up, especially with its Stormy Prison which prevents the Active Pokemon from retreating. It is best to KO it as soon as possible with fast, low-cost Lightning-type Pokemon.

It is best to target Horsea before it can evolve. However, if you do end up facing Kingdra ex, you can opt to use Oricorio to nullify its attacks.

Lanturn ex Deck Strategy

Use Fighting-type Pokemon.

Bring healing cards.

Consider conceding once Lanturn ex inflicts a Status Condition.

The main gimmick of a Lanturn ex deck is its application of either Paralysis or Confusion whenever Lanturn ex attacks, which can prevent the affected Pokemon from attacking.

A good Fighting Deck with Pokemon Center Lady or Arceus ex is the safest choice against this Expert Solo Battle as it can exploit the opponent's weakness and counter the Status Effects from Flashing Signal.

Espeon ex & Sylveon ex Deck Strategy

Use Darkness-type Pokemon.

Use fast and Energy-efficient Pokemon.

Consider conceding once Espeon ex is set up.

The Espeon ex and Sylveon ex deck is a very fast deck. By the second turn, it is possible for your opponent to have Sylveon ex, Espeon ex, and Espeon already at play if they have a good hand. Ideally, you want to target Espeon ex first to prevent it from using its healing ability, so preferrably use Pokemon that can OHKO Espeon ex.

However, with Espeon on the board, you should also consider bringing Pokemon that have low attack costs, since Espeon's damage scales based on the amount of energy attached to the Pokemon on the opponent's side. We recommend Pokemon like Donphan ex or Weavile ex who can deal significant damage while requiring only little energy.

Donphan ex & Lucario Deck Strategy

Use Grass-type Pokemon.

Use cards that discard the opponent's Energy.

Consider conceding once both Donphan ex and Lucario are set up.

Donphan ex is a very fast card to set up. It can already start attacking at one energy, and will become only more dangerous the longer you allow it to stay on the board.

Ideally, the best cards to counter Donphan ex would be Grass Cards that have low attack costs. You should also use cards such as Team Rocket Grunt, or Beedrill ex to remove its Energy and prevent it from dealing more damage.

Umbreon ex & Darkrai ex Deck Strategy

Use Grass-type Pokemon.

Use evolved Pokemon.

Consider conceding once both Umbreon ex and Darkrai ex are set up.

The Pokemon in this deck all have a weakness against Grass-type Pokemon. If you use Grass-type Pokemon that are easy to evolve and can attack almost immediately, you can quickly get the advantage in the game.

A good counter card would be Decidueye ex, who can be set up quickly with Rare Candy and snipe down injured Pokemon in the Bench.

Make sure to use evolved Pokemon to prevent being affected by Umbreon's Dark Binding, and keep your Pokemon healed so you don't get dragged to the Active Spot by Umbreon ex's Dark Chase.

Skarmory ex & Scizor Deck Strategy

Use Fire-type Pokemon.

Use fast and Energy-efficient Pokemon.

Consider conceding once Skarmory ex has several damage-reduction boosts set up.

The main challenge with Skarmory ex is that once it gets the opportunity to attack, it will take -20 damage from the attacking Pokemon's move. You will need to act quickly so you should consider bringing Fast Fire-Type Pokemon like Ninetales to defeat it.

You may also consider brining Guzma to counter the Steel Apron.

Consider conceding when the Leaf Cape is used.

Tsareena can be healed back to full HP with Mallow, so it is recommended that you use Pokemon that can OHKO it. You may bring powerful Fire-types as a counter.

Shining Revelry Charizard ex is the ideal counter to this deck. It can evolve early with the Rare Candy and accelerate its Energy with Stoke. Once it is properly set up, it can OHKO every opponent with Steam Engine, even if they have the Leaf Cape equipped.

Be cautious of Pyukumuku's Ability.

Consider conceding if Primarina evolves early.

You may counter this deck using quick and Energy-efficient Lightning-types. It is ideal to knock out Primarina ex before it evolves, as it can be difficult to defeat once it has access to its great bulk and healing. It may also be good to use Pom-Pom Style Oricorio, as it can nullify the damage from Primarina ex.

Be cautious when attacking Pyukumuku, as it deals 50 damage upon being knocked out.

Use Metal-type Pokemon.

Use fast and Energy-efficient Pokemon.

Consider conceding if the opponent has 4 evolved Pokemon in play.

Espeon and Sylveon's moves become more threatening the longer the battle lasts. It is best to use fast and Energy-efficient Metal-type Pokemon for the Type advantage.

Skarmory is a good early-game option, as it can immediately deal at least 50 damage with a Pokemon Tool attached. Solgaleo ex can be used in the mid to late game, as it can deal a good amount of damage for only 2 Energy.

Prioritize knocking out Pheromosa and Kartana.

Consider conceding when the Leaf Cape is used.

It is ideal to use fast Fire-types such as Rapidash and Ninetales for the Type advantage. With Blaine's support, Ninetales is able to OHKO every Pokemon in the opponent's deck.

The Leaf Cape can be used to increase the HP of the opposing Pokemon, putting them above OHKO range. You may consider conceding if the Leaf Cape is put into play. Alternatively, you can use Guzma to remove it.

Consider conceding the opponent goes second and starts with Tapu Koko.

The opponent may nullify damage from ex Pokemon with Oricorio. You can choose to rely on non-ex Fighting-types to clear this battle.

Primeape and Marshadow are good Energy-efficient options. You may also use Lucario's ability to increase the damage of your attackers.

Lycanroc ex & Passimian ex Deck Strategy

Use Psychic-type Pokemon.

Prioritize knocking out Riolu and Rockruff.

Consider conceding if the opponent evolves Lycanroc ex and Lucario early.

This deck's strategy is to use Passimian ex as an early game attacker that can transfer its Energy to Lycanroc ex once it is knocked out. Lucario acts as support, raising its teammates' damage.

You may disrupt this by targetting Rockruff and Riolu. You can use a Pokemon such as Hitmonlee or Pheromosa to attack them while they are Benched. Alternatively, you may draw them out into the Active Spot with Sabrina or Cyrus.

Defeat Rowlet before it can evolve.

Consider conceding once Decidueye ex is set up.

Decidueye ex and Lurantis both have very high HP and are aggressive cards with a low attack cost, so it is better to defeat them before they are evolved.

Use Fire-type Decks to get a type advantage bonus in your attacks. With the help of Rare Candy, you can skip Stage 1 and get your Pokemon to attack sooner. You can also use Sabrina or Cyrus to put weaker Benched Pokemon into the Active Spot.

However, keep in mind that the Decidueye and Lurantis Deck has access to Leaf Cape which can increase the HP of Grass Pokemon by 30 at any time. Watch out for Erika as well for healing.

Crabominable ex & Primarina Deck Strategy

Use Metal-type Pokemon.

Defeat Crabrawler and Popplio before they can evolve.

Consider conceding once Crabominable ex and Primarina is set up.

Unlike other Water-type Pokemon, Crabominable ex is weak against Metal Types.

Once Primarina is built, it can heal Crabominable ex's HP by 30 each turn, so use Metal-type Pokemon that are quick to build so that you can attack them while they are still in their basic evolutions.

Beware of the Giant Cape in the opponent's deck, which can be used to further increase Crabominable ex's bulk.

Alolan Raichu ex & Oricorio Deck Strategy

Use Fighting-type Pokemon.

Prioritize defeating Pachirisu.

Consider conceding once Alolan Raichu ex is set up.

This deck's strategy is to use Pachirisu to generate extra energy for Oricorio and Alolan Raichu ex, so you want to aim for Pachirisu first to cut off their extra energy supply.

Since all Pokemon in this deck have the same weakness, use Fast Fighting-Type Pokemon to counter Alolan Raichu ex. Oricorio has an ability that negates all damage from ex Pokemon, so bring a mix of 3◇ and ex Pokemon.

Defeat Riolu before it can evolve.

Consider conceding once Lucario ex is set up.

Aim for Riolu before it can evolve to Lucario ex, and use a Psychic-type deck to take advantage of the weakness. You can opt to use Sabrina or Cyrus to draw out unprepared Bench Pokemon into the Active Spot.

Alolan Muk ex & Toxapex Deck Strategy

Use Fighting-type Pokemon.

Defeat Alolan Grimer before it can evolve.

Be careful of Mars and Red Card.

Alolan Muk ex can inflict status effects, which can pressure to switch out Pokemon—interrupting your momentum in battle. In addition, Absol gains 60 damage if the Defending Pokemon has a Status Condition.

The feature Pokemon in this deck are both weak against Fighting-types, so use a fast Fighting deck to swiftly KO Alolan Muk ex and Toxapex.

Solgaleo ex & Excadrill Deck Strategy

Use Fire-type Pokemon.

Defeat Cosmog before it can evolve.

Consider conceding once Solgaleo ex is set up.

Solgaleo ex becomes very difficult to counter once it is fully built, so it is better to defeat it while it is in its Basic evolution. Be wary that the opponent's deck might use Rare Candy to immediately evolve Cosmog into Solgaleo ex.

Be ready to use cards like Sabrina or Cyrus to draw out Cosmog or other weak Bench Pokemon into the Active Spot.

Use Water-Type Pokemon

This deck features a variety of powerful Fire-type Pokemon, aiming to accelerate Energy using Moltres ex to stack energy on Arcanine ex and Charizard ex. Using Starmie ex to quickly deal with the Fire-types early on is a good counter, or using Articuno ex to deal damage to the opponent's Bench can help you win more easily.

Other Water-types can also be used to clear this Solo Battle, and Water-types like Lapras or Greninja should also perform well against this deck!

Use Heliolisk and Pikachu ex

Use Lightning-Type Pokemon

Heliolisk's attack costs 2 energy, and can deal 60 danage consistently against water types, and 100 damage if you get lucky with the coin flip. This should be enough to take out most of the Pokemon in this deck, and having Pikachu ex on your deck allows you to also make use of Pikachu's quick and high damage output by benching Lightning-types!

Other Lightning-types are also viable, but Articuno ex can pose a threat to your Pokemon, especially if you have mostly Basic Lightning-types like Pincurchin and Electabuzz.

Use Dugtrio

Use Fighting-Type Pokemon

Dugtrio is a great counter to the Pikachu ex deck, since Dig only costs 1 energy, and being lucky with coin flips should protect Dugtrio from being knocked out.

Other Fighting-type Pokemon can be used against the Pikachu ex Deck, just be mindful of Pikachu ex' surprisingly high damage output.

Use Muk and Weezing

Use Dark-Type Pokemon

Muk and Weezing's synergy should be enough to stand up against Mewtwo ex. Try to set up a combo of Gas Leak and Venoshock to quickly knock out Mewtwo ex, and scoring the last point should be much easier.

Other Dark types can be used against this deck effectively, just keep in mind that Dark-types like Nidoking and Nidoqueen require time to set up, and lots of energy to attack, allowing Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir to set up if left unchecked.

Machamp ex & Marowak ex Deck Strategy

Use Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir

Use Psychic-Type Pokemon

Gardevoir and Mewtwo ex makes quick work of the Fighting-types in this deck, allowing Mewtwo ex to OHKO with the help of Gardevoir's ability.

Other Psychic-type Pokemon can be used effectively against this deck, with Alakazam and Gengar ex being good alternatives if you do not have Mewtwo ex or Gardevoir.
