**Deck List (60 cards):**

*Pokemon (18):*

- 4x Basic attacker

- 3x Evolution line

- 3x Support Pokemon

- 2x Tech options

- 2x Draw support Pokemon

- 4x Basic energy acceleration

*Trainers (32):*

- 4x Professor's Research

- 4x Boss's Orders

- 2x Pal Pad

- 2x Air Balloon

- 3x Stadium Card

- 3x Tool Card

*Energy (10):*

**Strategy:**

The goal is to set up quickly using Battle VIP Pass turn 1, then start applying pressure turn 2. The deck can take multiple paths to victory depending on the matchup.

**Matchup Tips:**

- Against control: Prioritize aggression

- Against aggro: Focus on trading efficiently

- Against setup decks: Disrupt their bench

What deck are you currently playing? I'm always looking for new ideas!

lol this is so relatable. Pokemon fans unite!

I had a similar experience with Gardevoir. It took me ages!

Sylveon is definitely one of my favorites too!

Just wanted to add - this also works really well with the Shiny Charm equipped.

Pro tip: Save before attempting this so you can reset if needed!

Quick question - does this method work in the newer games too?

Adding to this: make sure you have plenty of Poke Balls ready!

My journey started similarly. Pokemon really brings back memories.
