The goal of this deck is to set up an unkillable Mr. Mime by abusing Alakazam's Damage Swap Pokemon Power alongside Mr. Mime's Invisible Wall Power. Chansey and Kangaskhan function primarily as meat shields to swap damage counters onto from Mr. Mime- who will be the primary attacker in this list. Because of Mr. Mime's ability to block any damage higher than 20, it cannot be KO'd as long as Pokemon Powers are active and an Alakazam is benched with somewhere to move the damage counters to. Many games will be won by stalling until the opponent loses to deckout, but this deck is fully capable of earning is fair share of prize cards as well!

Kangaskhan and Scyther function as optional attackers against opposing Pokemon that resist Psychic type, and Kangaskhan's Fetch can also aid in drawing cards to help get the combo online faster. Similarly, Psyduck aids in getting the deck online by stalling opponents out with it's (super annoying) move: Headache, which unconditionally prevents opponents from being able to play trainers and get ahead. 

Once a bunch of damage counters litter the board, hit the opponent with a no-downside Pokemon Center to bring everything back to 0 damage, and keep crushing their hopes of taking all 6 prize cards.

If an opponent attempts to disrupt this combo by shutting off Pokemon powers with Muk's Toxic Gas, pilots can try pivoting to stall with high HP Pokemon or until a Gust of Wind + Lass assures Chansey or Kangakhan can OHKO the threatening Muk.
