Use Strong Fire-Type Pokemon
Both Shuckle ex and Venusaur ex are very bulky, and this deck provides them with multiple ways to heal. Because of this, it's recommended to use Fire-type Pokemon that can deal a large amount of damage each time it attacks.
It's a good idea to have Pokemon that can one-shot Shuckle such as Charizard ex, since Shuckle ex's Ability combined with Shaymin's healing or the Leaf Cape item can make it very difficult for Pokemon with a lower damage output to knock it out.
Target Bulbasaur and Ivysaur
Venusaur ex is the biggest offensive threat in this deck, so you'll want to prevent your opponent from setting it up. Try to target Bulbasaur or Ivysaur before they can evolve.
If they're being kept on the Bench, use Pokemon that can damage the Bench such as Volcarona or Honchkrow to deal with them. You can also use Sabrina or Cyrus to swap them into the Active Spot.
Cards That Can Damage the Bench
Discard the Opponent's Leaf Cape
The Leaf Cape can be used to increase the HP of the opposing Pokemon, putting them above OHKO range. You may use Guzma to discard the Leaf Cape. This will bring them back to their base HP, making them easier to knock out.

You may attempt to clear the Darkness-type Battle Task with the Darkrai ex and Weavile ex Deck.
Weavile ex is very easy to set-up, only requiring one Energy to power up its attack. You can then focus on placing Energy on Darkrai ex to utilize its Ability and make Weavile ex's Scratching Nails do 70 damage.
You can also place Energy on Darkrai ex first, then use Dawn to transfer the Energy to Weavile ex, allowing you to deal 90 damage all in one turn.
