The main gimmick of a Lanturn ex deck is its application of either Paralysis or Confusion whenever Lanturn ex attacks, which can prevent the affected Pokemon from attacking.
Cards like Arceus ex and Pokemon Center Lady are good counters against Lanturn ex as they can remove or completely nullify any Status Effects.



Another way to deal with Lanturn ex's Flashing Signal in this Expert Solo Battle is to not let it use the attack at all by defeating it in one hit.
Normally, attacks that deal 150 damage like Shining Revelry Charizard ex's Steam Artillery would do the job, but since the opponent's deck has a Giant Cape, you'd want to bring Red (or Guzma) or Pokemon that can deal at least 170 damage to secure the KO.

Having Pyukumuku in the Active Spot against Lanturn ex lets you deal chip damage with Sprinkle Water. Once it gets knocked out, its Innards Out Ability will decrease Lanturn ex's HP to Primarina ex's KO zone.

Rampardos and Lucario's combo in this deck can OHKO Lanturn ex and prevent it from using Flashing Signal. Have Red or Guzma ready for when Lanturn ex is boosted by a Giant Cape.

Since you are unable to use Professor's Research to draw more cards in a hand, you want to balance your deck with ex and non-ex Pokemon that are either basic or Stage 1.
Fighting types, in particular, are strong even without a Stage 2 evolution, and will also exploit the opponent's deck's weakness to Fighting attacks.
Using Pokemon like Lucario, who has both an ex and non-ex card, will also help increase the odds of evolving its Basic form into Stage 1.
