Mega Absol ex becomes very hard to KO because of Dusknoir's Shadow Veil, which removes all damage from it and transfers it to Dusknoir.

Giant Cape ensures that Dusknoir survives taking up to 140 damage from Shadow Veil, allowing you multiple uses of the Ability.

Lisia helps you find all your low-HP Basics, while Shiinotic helps you thin out your deck and find important evolution cards.

Solgaleo ex can be set up quickly thanks to Shiinotic and its Illuminate Ability which searches for a random Pokemon from your deck.

By keeping the Pokemon list small and compact, you increase the odds of getting necessary cards to have a Solgaleo ex ready.

This deck gets Leftovers from Eevee Grove, which can keep Solgaleo ex healthy and out of KO range from even Charizard ex.

Shiinotic helps get all the evolution cards necessary to set up Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

Nidoking serves as the deck's primary attacker, with Poison Horn dealing 80 and inflicting Poison. Nidoqueen is the deck's backup attacker that can deal a total of 150 damage with Lovestrike.

This deck runs a thin count of Trainer cards, using only what's necessary. This includes Rare Candy to speed up your setup and Lillie to heal up your Stage 2s.

Shiinotic Deck Strategy Guide

Use Shiinotic's Illuminate to Find Pokemon

Shiinotic

Shiinotic's Illuminate can search your deck for a random Pokemon. By keeping your Pokemon list tight, Illuminate becomes even more effective, finding only 'hits'.

It is also always important to find Rare Candy as quickly as possible, and save it for after you have used Illuminate.

Set Up Your Attackers

Magnezone
Charizard ex
Solgaleo ex

Shiinotic's ex partners are able to take over games once they are set up. Use these ex Pokemon to dominate your opponents and create an advantage that's difficult to overcome!

How to Beat Shiinotic Decks

Wall Shiinotic's Partners with Pom-Pom Oricorio

Oricorio

Shiinotic decks typically sacrifice flexibility for consistency. Though they may set up their aces more effectively, they may likely not have answers for Pokemon like Pom-Pom Oricorio, whose Safeguard Ability walls ex Pokemon.

Get Shiinotic Stuck in the Active Spot

Sabrina
Cyrus

Shiinotic has a hefty 2 Retreat Cost. While some decks have ways to get it out of the Active Spot such as Solgaleo ex with its Rising Road, other decks will need to spend resources to get it out.

Use Sabrina or Cyrus to put trap Shiinotic in the Active Spot.
