Deck Primer

Strategy: This utilizes Hop's Zacian ex as an early game attacker with the potential Bench Sniping while you set up. Hop's Dubwool is a free Boss's Order but as a Pokémon. Discard your energies and use Archaludon's Ability to get it into play for your Pokémon to get an easier chance of attacking. The ACE SPEC of choice, Scoop-Up Cyclone, helps you reset your Archaludon to remove all the damage from it. There's probably an arguement of the Poison Box variant being better even though

Reverting the changes of this current build to a previous one as this one is much worse.
