This is a weird one!

Your early-game attacker is Baltoy, which later evolves into Claydol. Since Baltoy relies on coin flips, you get this weird synergy where, if you use Premium Power Pro with Continuous Spin, you can deal 60 damage per heads instead of 30.

Your early-game attacker is Baltoy, which later evolves into Claydol. Since Baltoy relies on coin flips, you get this weird synergy where, if you use Premium Power Pro with Continuous Spin, you can deal 60 damage per heads instead of 30.

Claydol is especially useful against evolved Pokémon because Devolution Ray lets you devolve your opponent’s Active Pokémon while dealing 50 damage. I know that isn’t enough to Knock Out most single-Prize Basic Pokémon, so once again, you can use Premium Power Pro to boost your damage.

Your late-game attacker is Archeops. Its Ancient Wing Ability can devolve a Pokémon, and if you pair that with hand disruption like Judge, Unfair Stamp, or Xerosic’s Machinations, you can potentially make your opponent lose the Evolution Pokémon that was returned to their hand.

Your draw engine is Lunatone and Solrock.

Finally, the deck runs a lot of disruption cards that slow your opponent down, such as Handheld Fan, Acerola’s Mischief, and Crushing Hammer.
