Deck Primer

I apologize for being inactive for 3 days, though I have returned now.

Strategy: I recommend going second with this deck. Anyways, for your first turn, try and find Precious Trolley, the ACE SPEC of choice, to hopefully get out 1-2 Dialga ex's, Latias ex, and 2-3 Beldum's. Anyways, then try to attach TM: Evolution and finding an Energy to use it shouldn't be too difficult since there's 14 Metal Energies in this deck and use it to get out 2 Metang's. Then, on the turn after, start

I apologize for being inactive for 3 days, though I have returned now.

Strategy: I recommend going second with this deck. Anyways, for your first turn, try and find Precious Trolley, the ACE SPEC of choice, to hopefully get out 1-2 Dialga ex's, Latias ex, and 2-3 Beldum's. Anyways, then try to attach TM: Evolution and finding an Energy to use it shouldn't be too difficult since there's 14 Metal Energies in this deck and use it to get out 2 Metang's. Then, on the turn after, start using your Metangs's Ability, Metal Maker, to try and get as many energies as possible into Dialga ex. When doing this, you'll increase Dialga's Attack Power for its Attack, Metal Blast. Do note that this is a weaker Melmetal ex as it's much Tankier and deals more damage. Anyways, Pokégear helps make searching for all of your supporters much easier which can further your odds on finding Trolley at the start. Regigigas helps against decks that have Tera Pokémon like Zard and Pult which helps a lot in those matchups. I don't really have much more to say about the deck, so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

CTC: The cards will be sorted into a list, if there are any cards in this list or any cards you want to add in from your own ideas, cut out cards from this list that you don't seem necessary. With that being said, here is the list:

- 3rd Dialaga ex - Provides more consistency.

- 4th Beldum and Metang - Provides better consistency along with Metal Maker being used more oftenly.

- 2nd Nest Ball - Helps with more consistency and incase you prize Trolley.

- Redeemable Ticket - Helps if you ever prize Precious Trolley.

- 15th Metal Energy - Allows you to have more odds on getting Metal Energies via Metal Maker.

That concludes all the cards I can suggest as there's not much more I can come up with. Have a good rest of your day to everyone reading this and I appreciate all of the support you guys have given me!

I'll try posting 1-2 decks daily again, since I'm not going to be busy for quite a bit.
