Keep Your Benched Pokemon Healthy
Remember that Gigalith ex can deal damage even to your Benched Pokemon. Keep even your Benched Pokemon healthy (if they have at least 150 max HP) or avoid putting low HP Pokemon to avoid getting sniped by Megaton Cannon.
Force Gigalith ex Into the Active Spot
The computer will keep Passimian ex in the Active Spot to bruise your Pokemon, as it can transfer all of its Energy with its Ability. Passimian ex will keep defending until it gets knocked out or Gigalith ex gets enough Energy for Megaton Cannon.
You'll need to force Gigalith ex (or any Pokemon in its evolution line) out of the Bench with Sabrina or Cyrus and finish it off to prevent Passimian ex from accelerating Energy for Megaton Cannon. Do take note that Lyra can instantly switch out Gigalith ex if it survives the attack.

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 Fantastical Parade 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.
As a bonus, you can add or remove Mega Evolution ex cards as needed to fulfill other Battle Tasks.
| Expansions | Cards to Get and Packs to Open |
|---|---|
| Shining Revelry (A2b) | Iono x1 |
| Mega Rising (B1) | Golett x2 Golurk x2 |
| Promo-A | Poke Ball x 1 (Promo-A Pack) Professor's Research x 2 (Promo-A Pack) |
