• damage backrow with Greninja
• swap with Cyrus
• stall with Arbok

This deck is how I went from 10 to 45 wins with an 80% win rate. It's Anti-Meta and beginner friendly. Anti-Meta, because it hits hard and fast and doesn't allow players to set up properly. Honestly, I think the deck is so unique players just have a hard time figuring out what to do. It's beginner friendly because there are no EX or high value cards needed. I didn't even realize this until I was making this guide. 

Reliant on Misty to generate energy quickly and start dealing damage. Avoid playing 2nd Articuno prematurely to avoid Sabrina.

First deck I've been finding success with as a brand new TCG player. Reliant on coin flip luck for Sleep status but extremely rewarding with the 50/50 odds! The first Snom or Jigglypuff will often be sacrificed in favor of readying Frosmoth and Wigglytuff ex on the Bench. Use Sabrina to buy time while building up Energy before swapping in Wigglytuff ex, or to force your opponent to swap in a Pokémon that it can eliminate immediately.

1. Only 2 basic Pokemon Tentacool, so you always start with it
2. Start with Tentacool and build it to Tentacruel to spread poison damage
3. Use Misty and Water Energy to build Omastar
4. Lockdown enemy so it cannot attack

Pairing two deities in a single deck, Dialga ex and Arceus ex capitalize on the Energy acceleration of the time deity and the high damage output of the Pokémon world's creator. To fill the Bench so Ultimate Force deals the biggest possible damage, the deck plays utility Pokémon.

The basis is to stop the opponent from using any trainers. Psyduck to start until gengar is fully developed. Can use amber to tank.

Deck more reliable and less tied to counterpart luck with LickilickyEX. More defensive.

Dialga in front, 2 energy as soon as possible, Giant Cape to help tank the first 3/4 turns.
Give the energies to whoever is on the bench, possibly Meltan -> Melmetal.
Melmetal should be managed with RockyHelmet and keeping potions for him.
Blows of 120+RockyHelmet are enough to knock down just about anything.

Reliant on Misty to generate energy quickly and start dealing damage. Avoid playing 2nd Lapras prematurely to avoid Sabrina, unless you have a fossil you can use for free retreats. If 1 Lapras dies, remove fossils to avoid Sabrina.

Cheaper version of Aritcuno 18T, Misses the attack for 2 energy but can help to start. If you get 1 Articuno, you can run it with 2 Lapras, and once you have the second Articuno, you can go to the Articuno 18T deck, or keep trying with some Lapras for extra pokeball consistency.

Here's a deck list to help with the Zero Trainer Solo Battle Challenges : PTCGP

Use only Fighting energy.

• Dugtrio is the main pokemon in this deck.
• Always try to keep Diglett/Dugtrio in the active spot.
• When Dugtrio is in the active spot, then your bench should have only on Marshadow and at least one Lucario.
