Wally=Salvatore (Temporal Forces)

Search your deck for a Pokémon, except any Pokémon with an Ability, that evolves from 1 of your Pokémon in play and put it on that Pokémon to evolve it. Then, shuffle your deck. (You can use this card on a Pokémon that was put into play when setting up to play or on the turn it was put into play.)

Big Malasada=Buddy Poffins (Temporal Forces)

Search your deck for up to 2 basic Pokémon with 70 HP or less and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck.

Looker Whistle=Hand Trimmer (Temporal Forces)

Each player discards cards until they have 5 cards in their hand. (Your opponent discards first. Players with 5 or fewer cards in their hand don’t discard any cards.)

Great Catcher=Prime Catcher ACESPEC (Temporal Forces)

Switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot. Then, switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

The idea is to item lock your opponent with Bannete ex's Everlasting Darkness, which you can use on your first turn going second if you play Salvatore that turn to evolve a Shuppet. You can do the same with Bronzor if your opponent is playing an Evolution-reliant deck like Charizard ex (Although you could just item lock  their Rare Candies...)

The majority of other cards are for disruption like Crushing Hammer and Hand Trimmer.

You might want to consider AceSpec Hero Cape (100 HP) to survive longer or Maximum Belt to really hit hard against EX to make up for your low output on even Everlasting Darkness
