Retro Energy and Undersea Ruins allow you to devolve Beedrill so that it can be re-evolved on the following turn, locking your opponent in a chain of Venom Spray. Lure Ball allows you to easily recover the discarded Beedrill.

Tip: Save your Lure Ball until there are multiple Beedrill in your discard pile, giving yourself a chance at recovering more than one.

Relying on Bellossom’s Flower Supplement to power up Exeggutor, this deck uses Furret’s Scavenger Hunt to retrieve the Special Energy cards you need. Bounce Energy ensures Bellossom has a second Energy to attach with Flower Supplement, and Boost Energy provides an extra 3 flips for Exeggutor on turns when more damage is needed.

2x Full Heal
1x Switch
1x Dual Ball
13x Fighting Energy
3x Rainbow Energy
1x Bounce Energy

Using Donphan’s Earthquake (as well as Rainbow Energy) to intentionally damage our own Pokémon, Machamp’s Iron Fist has the potential to hit for as much as 110. Machamp’s Terraforming ensures you can find the cards to build multiple Machamp, while Potion provides healing for its 120 HP.

Tip: If you’re unsatisfied with the four cards revealed by Machamp’s Terraforming, use a Trainer, like Dual Ball, to shuffle the deck.

Umbreon

1x Full Heal
4x Darkness Energy
4x Rainbow Energy
3x Cyclone Energy
3x Fire Energy
2x Psychic Energy

If you’re lucky enough to flip Heads on your first turn with Eevee’s Charge Up, your opponent might be facing a Turn 2 attacking Umbreon, a difficult start to overcome. Desert Shaman forms a powerful combination with Umbreon’s Dark Moon Poké-Power, adding strength to disruptive Trainers like Energy Removal 2 & Pokémon Reversal.

Tip: Avoid using Umbreon’s Dark Moon following turns where your opponent doesn’t seem to have any strong cards in hand. Otherwise, you will be forced to replace at least 1 of his or her cards, offering a chance to draw something more useful.
