The deck lets you easily switch Pokemon around because of their cheap Retreat Costs, allowing you to choose which attacker to send out against the Defending Pokemon.
Use Whimsicott ex against Pokemon with high Retreat Costs, and Meowscarada against ex Pokemon.
Additionally, Meowscarada can be sent out against Pom-Pom Oricorio, who Whimsicott ex can't damage.

Once you have used up your Poke Balls, Sprigatito's Cry for Help becomes even more effective because of its increased odds of finding you the correct evolution card you need. Consider holding off on evolving Sprigatito if you need to find other evolutions.


While Whimsicott ex is a strong enough Pokemon on its own, it could find trouble finding its place in a metagame with prevalent Fire-type Pokemon like Entei ex and Mega Blaziken ex.
