Why this deck wins
Core cards
Matchups
Gholdengo ex
Ancient Booster Capsule doesn't rely on Items to provide Energy. Item lock barely slows Raging Bolt ex and it hits Gholdengo hard enough to out-prize it efficiently.
Dragapult ex
Dragapult ex spreads damage before Raging Bolt is fully set up. Phantom Dive's bench pressure disrupts the Bellibolt and Electric Generator lines you need to function.
Gardevoir ex
Gardevoir ex charges quickly and hits Raging Bolt ex for big Psychic damage. The prize race is hard to win against a fully set up Gardevoir board.
