In this deck, Alcremie is best used in the late game. Try to set up Slurpuff first and build up your Sweets Relays. It is ideal to use Sweets Relay every turn, especially since the Basic Pokemon with this move only require one Energy.
Vanillish gives the deck another Pokemon that can use Sweets Relay, which will later on allow Alcremie to deal even more damage with Sweets Overload.
Despite being a primarily Psychic-type deck, all of the Pokemon moves in this deck only require Colorless Energy, allowing you to choose whichever type of Energy you want. The best Energy to have here is Water Energy, so that you can utilize Irida, the Trainer card that provides the most amount of healing only if you have Water Energy attached.

The strategy for Alcremie decks requires you to use Sweets Relay as much as possible in order to power up Alcremie. The Eevee Grove expansion introduced several Pokemon with the Sweets Relay move including Alcremie's pre-evolution Milcery.
Since most Sweets Relay Pokemon are pretty easy to set up and do not require a lot of Energy, this move is easy to use at the beginning of the battle. However, most Sweets Relay attacks aren't very powerful, so you may only want to use it in the early game.

Once you've built up a good number of Sweets Relays, it's time to bring in Alcremie. Even getting only three Sweets Relay attacks off will allow Alcremie's Sweets Overload attack to deal 120 damage, which is enough to knock out a lot of threatening Pokemon.
It's a good idea to take note of the HP of your opponent's Pokemon, so you can figure out how many Sweets Relays you have to get off in order for Alcremie to one-shot all of your opponent's Pokemon. Since Alcremie is pretty frail, you'd want it to do a lot of damage without ever taking an attack.


Alcremie Decks are typically weak to Metal-type Pokemon. With a good Metal-type deck that doesn't require too much setup, you should be able to knock out the Sweets Relay Pokemon before they can power up Alcremie sufficiently.
