Main goal:

Set up a Hisuian Zoroark (Lost Origin) as your active Pokemon to use Doom Curse, applying an energy-less OHKO after your opponent's next turn, if you suceessfully avoid any retreat or switch of his/her active Pokemon!

Setup:

While Hisuian Zoroark (Lost Origin) is being built, you may use the following actions in a random order:

- Place Mew as your active Pokemon to search for useful items that may help you build your set. Good option for a bad first hand.

- Miltank may help holding back V Pokemons that may attack you.

- To avoid losing unnecessary prizes, you may use the Scoop Up Net (Rebel Clash) to recover either Miltank or Mew back into your hand.

- Manaphy (Brilliant Stars) will help you protecting your bench during your setup.

- You may set a Zoroark (Evolving Skies) at your bench to revive a knocked-out Hisuian Zoroark (Lost Origin) from the discard pile with no cost, setting it back up and ready to strike again!

Support:

Doom Curse can fail if your enemy retreats or switches his/her active Pokemon. In order to avoid that, you may apply a chain of actions:

- Use the Galar Mine (Rebel Clash) to increase the retreat cost, requiring the opponent either to have a good hand or to spend a huge amount of energy cards to retreat. Or, in your best scenario, accepting to lose the active Pokemon;

- Use the Crushing Hammer (Crown Zenith) (and a little luck) to remove energies attached to the opponent's active Pokemon, increasing the difficulty to retreat;

- Use the Rugged Helmet (Chilling Reign) to detach energies from your opponent's active Pokemon when it hits your own active Pokemon or even when it gets knocked-out, leaving a favorable scenario for your next Pokemon.

- Use the Miss Fortune Sisters (Lost Origin) to prevent the usage of switches or escape ropes by your opponent.

add Wally (Roaring Skies) so you can evolve zoroark quick or you could use Evolution Incense (Sword & Shield) anything works tho i prefer wally but anyways good deck

also add some v's and gx's + vstar and vmax because pokemon here have low hp and can be ko'ed by a single quick attack by Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX (Cosmic Eclipse) and Beautifly (Dragons Exalted) supporting it.

anyways good deck
