The early game focuses on establishing a solid foundation for your strategy. Leafeon ex is your ideal starting Pokemon due to its quick evolution and both offensive and supportive execution. Place Eevee in the active spot while ensuring a Bulbasaur is on your Bench.

This allows you to prepare for both of your core Pokemon - Leafeon ex for the early to mid-game and Venusaur ex for the late game. Use Poke Ball and Professor’s Research to find necessary evolution cards, ensuring smooth progression through your deck.

Leafeon ex's Forest Breath ability feeds itself and Venusaur ex with one extra Grass Energy, essentially speeding up the set-up process. On the other hand, its Solar Beam also applies good pressure with 70 damage every turn. Use Erika to keep Leafeon ex alive if you need more time to get Venusaur ex ready.

Use Rare Candy to speed up Venusaur ex's evolution

Once Venusaur ex is ready, the game shifts in your favor. Bring it to the active position and let it dominate with its powerful moves and high durability. Its Giant Bloom attack not only dishes out significant damage but also restores 30 HP, making Venusaur ex incredibly difficult to knock out.

Your goal during the late game is to maintain Venusaur ex while depleting your opponent’s resources. Leafeon ex can continue providing backup damage or tank a move if necessary, ensuring your momentum remains strong. Use Lillie to keep Venusaur ex alive.

Strategic use of Leaf Cape ensures that Leafeon ex and Venusaur ex stay in play longer, providing them with +30 HP.
