You may use fast Fighting-type Pokemon in order to land KOs early. Pokemon with strong attacks such as Mega Lopunny ex and Rampardos are good choices.



Minun can damage your Benched Pokemon if Plusle is also in play. This will give way for Toxtricity ex to attack both your Active Pokemon and your Bench with Damaging Spark.
You may keep your Benched Pokemon healthy with healing cards. Alternatively, you may keep your Bench clear while Minun is in the Active Spot.


You can opt to KO Toxel while it is still unevolved in order to avoid facing Toxtricity ex. You may do this by drawing it out to the Active Spot using Sabrina or Cyrus.

Suicune ex can be used as an early-game attacker, being able to deal great damage if your Bench is filled. It can also help set up your Primarina with Legendary Pulse's card draw. Primarina helps keep your Pokemon healthy in cases when your Bench is damaged.
A single copy of Primarina ex is included in the deck as an alternate win condition that's difficult to KO.

Type: Null is guaranteed to be your Basic Pokemon upon starting a match, since it's the only Basic Pokemon in this deck. You should be able to evolve it quickly with the help of Gladion and Professor's Research.
Once you have Silvally on hand, it's recommended to use Supporter cards every turn in order to boost your attack's damage to 100.
Silvally isn't your only source of damage on this deck, though. Rampardos allows you to have a bulkier Pokemon in your deck that can do a lot of damage without too much setup. You can get this Pokemon in this deck by using Rare Candy on a Skull Fossil.

This is a flexible deck that revolves around Mega Rising Golurk and its Heavy Rocket attack which can deal up to 180 Damage with only 2 Energy.
The 2 Golett should be the only Basic Pokemon of this deck, and there are 4 Supporters to help you look for the Golurk for evolution.
Since the core consists of only 8 cards, the other 12 cards of the deck can be filled up with different Pokemon from the Fantastical Parade Expansion, fulfilling the requirements of the Battle Task.
Just make sure to only add Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokemon so that you are guaranteed a Golett in your starting hand and with Poke Ball. Additionally, only add those with Retreat Costs of 3 or more to empower Golurk's Heavy Rocket.
As a bonus, you can add or remove Mega Evolution ex cards as needed to fulfill other Battle Tasks.
| Expansions | Cards to Get and Packs to Open |
|---|---|
| Shining Revelry (A2b) | Iono x1 |
| Mega Rising (B1) | Golett x2 Golurk x2 |
| Promo-A | Poke Ball x 1 (Promo-A Pack) Professor's Research x 2 (Promo-A Pack) |
