Pheromosa is used as this deck's early-game attacker. It is used to deal chip damage to opposing Active and Benched Pokemon with 1 Energy. After Meowscarada ex is set up, it can be switched into the Active Spot. It can then be used to KO low-HP or weakened opponents.
Non-ex Meowscarada can be used against ex Pokemon, as its move can deal 130 damage against them. This can land a KO if the ex Pokemon has been damaged beforehand.

Pheromosa provides a strong early-game offensive pressure with Jump Blues spreading damage across the board. Buzzwole ex can come in later in the game after Pheromosa has been KOd.
The Grass-types in the deck benefit from cards like Erika and Leaf Cape, which have synergy with Grass-type Pokemon.
Lusamine in the late-game can help you set up Buzzwole ex quickly by attaching Energy from the Discard Pile.
Celesteela can help the deck with mobility and flexibility with Ultra Thrusters letting you switch your Ultra Beasts at will.

This deck pairs Celebi with Meowscarada to counter decks with Stage 2 Pokemon as well as decks with ex Pokemon. Celebi can take on decks like Shining Revelry Charizard ex and Mega Gyarados ex while Meowscarada can deal with any deck that includes Dark-types.
The deck also includes Pheromosa as a means to whittle down your opponent's health, and put them in Celebi and Meowscarada's KO range.
Klefki is included as a way of removing Giant Cape, and ensuring KOs when Celebi devolves high-HP Pokemon.

This deck has Pheromosa as an early-game attacker, being able to damage both Active Pokemon and Benched Pokemon. Once Decidueye ex is set up, it can attack the Pokemon that Pheromosa has damaged with Pierce the Pain.
The deck gains access to Hau, which can boost Decidueye ex's damage. Do note that this can only increase the damage of Razor Leaf, and Pierce the Pain if it is damaging the Active Pokemon.

Pheromosa has low HP, which may cause it to get knocked out early. You may heal it with Erika or increase its HP with the Leaf Cape to increase its survivability.

Pheromosa can attack Benched Pokemon. It has good synergy with Cyrus, who can draw damaged Pokemon out into the Active Spot. You may use Cyrus in order to KO a previously damaged Pokemon with your deck's main attacker.



Pheromosa can attack Benched Pokemon in order to set up easier KOs. You may heal your Pokemon to full HP to avoid it getting drawn out by Cyrus or sniped by Decidueye ex.
HP Recovery and Healing Cards List



Use cards like Sabrina or Cyrus to gust out your opponent's main attacker before it can become a threat. This also prevents Pheromosa from attacking your Bench.
You may also attack your opponent's Bench with Pokemon such as Genetic Apex Hitmonlee.
