Deck Strengths
Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf have natural synergy. Mesprit is a great finisher but is dependent on having Uxie and Azelf on the Bench. Can sweep Solo Battles, often knocking out miltiple missions at once
Deck Weaknesses
Mesprit's attack is dependent on the presence of Azelf and Uxie on the Bench Pokemon in the deck have low HP. Notable weakness to Dark.

How to Play Lake Trio Deck

Best Starting Hand

Best Starting Hand

Immediately having Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf is your optimal opening hand. Having all three should be your first priority, as this unlocks Mesprit's Supreme Blast.

Uxie or Azelf are both good starting Pokemon, with your choice dependant on what else you need. You can either start with Azelf for its Bench snipe, or Uxie for its Energy Acceleration, which helps power up Mesprit earlier.

Other Good Starting Cards

Recommended Starting Hand

Mew ex is also a decent starter, as it has the most HP out of all the Pokemon in the deck. getting it to 3 Energy means you can KO an opposing Charizard ex or Palkia ex using Genome Hacking. Consider starting with Mew ex to keep your other low HP Pokemon healthy.

The new variation with retreat shaymin instead of mew and grandma is stronger, much more consistent imo
