Use Fast Fighting-Type Pokemon
You can use Fighting-type Pokemon to land KOs quickly. Pokemon with strong attacks such as Mega Lopunny ex and Donphan ex are good choices.
Use Basic or Stage 1 Pokemon
Since you may not be able to use Trainer Cards on certain turns, it is best to use Basic or Stage 1 Pokemon. This allows you to use your strongest attacks without having to rely on luck to draw evolution cards.
Increase or Heal Your HP
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.
KO Gastly Before It Evolves
You may KO Gastly before it can evolve, preventing it from dealing great damage. If it is on the Bench, you may use Sabrina or Cyrus to bring it to the Active Spot.

Giratina ex can accelerate its own Energy using its Ability. This can allow it to attack for 130 damage during earlier turns. However, you will have to be careful and mind the recoil damage that it takes.
Mewtwo ex can help the deck score KOs on Pokemon with HP Giratina ex can't deplete by itself.
This deck requires patience and strategic planning, as oftentimes, an overcommitment of resources could spell defeat for its user.

| Mega Shine (B2b) | Any 12 Stage 1 or Stage 2 Pokemon Cards with 3 or more Retreat Costs. |
This is a flexible deck that revolves around Mega Rising Golurk and its Heavy Rocket attack which can deal up to 180 Damage with only 2 Energy.
The 2 Golett should be the only Basic Pokemon of this deck, and there are 4 Supporters to help you look for the Golurk for evolution.
Since the core consists of only 8 cards, the other 12 cards of the deck can be filled up with different Pokemon from the Mega Shine Expansion, fulfilling the requirements of the Battle Task.
Just make sure to only add Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokemon so that you are guaranteed a Golett in your starting hand and with Poke Ball. Additionally, only add those with Retreat Costs of 3 or more to empower Golurk's Heavy Rocket.
