Exeggutor ex	Alakazam	・Exeggutor ex can continuously deal damage while setting up Abra on the Bench. ・Alakazam, once out, can dish out 60 damage with an additional of 30 damage for each energy the opponent's Active Pokemon has.

Best Starting Hand

Best Starting Hand

Multiple Basic Pokemon are good to have in your opening hand, especially if there's also an Evolution card too. Cards like X Speed and Professor's Research allow you to have options like retreating at a reduced cost, and digging two cards deep for resources to use the following turn.

Other Good Starting Cards

Recommended Starting Hand

Similar to the first opening hand, an opening hand with Exeggcute and Exeggutor ex is also really good because this allows you to immediately start applying offensive pressure with Exeggutor ex. Use Poke Ball to find other Basic Pokemon like an important Abra, which you would eventually evolve into Kadabra and Alakazam.
