Deck Primer

-Dhelmise VMax is this deck's primary attacker and excels once built up with energy ramp from Leafeon V (particularly on turn 1) and from Rillaboom's ability.
-Early setup aims to get Dhelmise V and Grookey on the board, and where possible Leafeon V, after which it's important to get evolved as soon as possible to the VMax and to Rillaboom through combinations of Rare Candy, Evolution Incense & Turffield Stadium and Peony can find you the right pieces followed up with Kricketune's draw support

-Dhelmise VMax is this deck's primary attacker and excels once built up with energy ramp from Leafeon V (particularly on turn 1) and from Rillaboom's ability.

-In the ideal sitaution your opponent is trapped in the active after a Boss's Orders to something with 2 or greater retreat, and Galar Mine can help here, while Dhelmise ignores the active and focuses down 2 or 3 prize threats on the bench
-While Max Anchor isn't usable back to back, particularly because of Dhelmises retreat of 3, loading enough grass energy makes Swinging Chain the perfect followup
-Blissey V also works when ramped by RIllaboom but is especially strong following up behind a KO'd Dhelmise VMax and recycling its discarded energy. Being just a 2-prizer means that the opponent still can't win straight away after taking huge damage from this Pokémon
-Dubwool V helps make a comeback when we're severely behind on prizes and its natural damage reduction in its ability gives it just enough survivability to pull things back in lots of matchups

-Energy Recyclers sit in the deck mainly as backup to restock Rillaboom's ramp source and Air Balloons are usually only for non-attackers' retreat in the early turns. Both items are acceptable discard fodder for Quick Ball.
-While it's tempting to load up a ton of energy onto one Dhelmise with this deck it's important to be careful and only play out the the amount you actually need, especially when recyclers aren't at hand and Blissey needs some upfront setup before attacking and grabbing more from discard.
