Strategy

Start may vary depending on luck of cards initially drawn.

 

Ideal Start:

  1. Carnivine in starting position with Arceus ex on bench.
  2. Carnivine's attack immediately does 50 damage to opposing starting pokemon. Rocky Helmet on Carnivine for more damage.
  3. Charge up and evolve Sprigatito to Meowscarada while opponent takes a constant 50 damage with Carnivine attacks.
  4. If Carnivine dies play Meowscarada, should have enough health to tank for a turn or two while Arceus gains energy. (Total Damage of 130 if opponent plays an ex)
  5. Load up energy on Arceus ex as final pokemon.
  6. Use Erika, and Red as needed for damage and to maintain Carnivine & Meowscarada to build Arceus. Poke ball and Research to get extra cards, pokemon communication to help with Meowscarada evolution. 

Less than Ideal starts:

  1. Avoid starting with Arceus ex at all costs, if only card possible hope you get lucky enough to fully charge and attack with full bench (full bench does 130 total damage)
