Tatsugiri ×2	Slowpoke ×2	Mega Slowbro ex ×2	Phione ×2
Leaf ×2	Giant Cape ×2	Cyrus ×1	Irida ×2
Copycat ×1	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Use Fast Lightning-Type Pokemon

You may use Energy-efficient Lightning-type Pokemon to score KOs before Mega Slowbro ex sets up. Pom-Pom Style Oricorio is a great choice, as it cannot take damage from ex Pokemon. You may also use the likes of Zeraora or Tapu Koko ex.

Use Protective Poncho on Your Bench

Protective Poncho will protect your benched Pokemon from any incoming damage from Mega Slowbro ex. Since you can only have two Protective Ponchos in your deck, prioritize using them on either your main attackers or Pokemon who are close to getting KOd.

KO Slowpoke Before It Evolves

You may KO Slowpoke before it can evolve, preventing it from dealing great damage. If it is on the Bench, you may use Sabrina or Cyrus to bring it to the Active Spot.

Mega Rising (B1)	Golett x2 Golurk x2
Promo-A	Poke Ball x 1 (Promo-A Pack) Professor's Research x 2 (Promo-A Pack)

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 Mega Shine 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.
