Strategy: I'd recommend going second with this deck but going first can work out. Anyways, for your First Turn, try and get out at least 2 Scorbunny's, 1-2 Pidgey's, and maybe Munkidori. Also, get out either Budew or Cleffa if you're going second. Then you have 3 choices on what to do such as using Grasping Draw from Cleffa, Itchy Pollen from Budew, or TM: Evolution to evolve your Pokémon. Now anyways, for the explanations of the other cards, Cinderace, the main attacker can swing for 280 with Flare Strike or 180 as a Snipe Attack. This may be one of the only times Cinderace succeeds since Shaymin releases soon in Destined Rivals. Now Pidgeot, Quick Search helps get out any card to get it into your hand. Munkidori can take advantage of the Darkness Energy to then move damage off of your Pokémon to move it onto your Opponent's which does help make KO's a bit easier to get. Crispin helps get out your Energy, Briar helps take an extra prize. Now for the ACE SPEC of choice, Maximum Belt, I personally like this ACE SPEC for Pokémon that swing for 280 since it can reach 330 Damage onto Pokémon ex which can allow you to OHKO Stage Two Pokémon but you could use Sparkling Crystal or something else instead like Grand Tree. I don't really have much more to explain so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

Edits:

Edit #1: Removed 1 Artazon, NUE, Colress's Tenacity, 1 Scorbunny, 1 Munkidori, Super Rod, and some other changes like fixing Iono to the one from Paldea Evolved. Now the cards that were added are as follows: a 2nd Raboot, Briar, Cleffa, Maximum Belt, 2nd Night Stretcher, Bloodmoon Ursaluna.
