The core plan is simple to describe and demanding to execute. Mega Lopunny ex has a single-Colorless attack, Gale Thrust, that does 60 damage - but if Mega Lopunny ex moved from your Bench to the Active Spot this turn, it does 170 more, totalling 230. The deck runs four copies of Switch and two copies of Latias ex, whose Skyliner Ability gives all your Basic Pokémon in play no Retreat Cost, so you can reliably move a fresh Mega Lopunny ex in from the Bench each turn without spending any additional resources. When you need to push through protection effects, Spiky Hopper deals 160 damage unaffected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon.

Dusknoir is the damage-routing engine that makes awkward numbers work. Its Cursed Blast Ability lets you place 13 damage counters on any one of your opponent's Pokémon once per turn, at the cost of Knocking Out Dusknoir itself. Dusclops has the same Ability at a smaller scale, placing 5 damage counters. Stacking counters onto a Benched Pokémon sets up a target that Mega Lopunny ex's Gale Thrust or a follow-up Cursed Blast can finish off. Because Dusknoir is a Stage 2, the deck plays four Rare Candy to skip the Dusclops stage when speed is critical, and Hilda searches both an Evolution Pokémon and an Energy card from the deck in a single Supporter play.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex provides a secondary attack route. Its Seasoned Skill Ability reduces the cost of Blood Moon by one Colorless Energy for each Prize card your opponent has taken, making its 240-damage attack increasingly affordable as the game progresses. Mega Kangaskhan ex supports the early turns: if it is in the Active Spot, its Run Errand Ability lets you draw 2 cards once per turn, keeping your hand stocked while your evolution lines develop.

Telepathing Psychic Energy does double duty - it provides Psychic Energy and, when attached from hand to a Psychic Pokémon, searches up to 2 Basic Psychic Pokémon from your deck onto your Bench, helping populate the Duskull line quickly. Meowth ex's Last-Ditch Catch Ability, triggered when you play it from hand to the Bench, searches any Supporter from your deck, which means you can fetch Hilda, Boss's Orders or Lillie's Determination precisely when you need them.
