Deck Primer

Like all my decks, this is just a strategy. You should probably re-make this deck with better cards of your choice.

This deck has a long and complicated strategy, but if you can pull it off, it can be nearly unbeatable. Here is the main strategy: Discard Psychic energy with Professor Burnet (SWSH Black Star Promos) , Raifort (Twilight Masquerade) , Professor's Research (Paldean Fates) , Moonlit Hill (Paldean Fates) , Team Magma Grunt (Double Crisis) , and Kirlia's (Silver Tempest) Refinement ability.

Then use Gardevoir ex (Scarlet & Violet) 's ability Psychic Embrace to get all those Energy onto a high health Pokemon you have in play, either that same Gardevoir ex, another Gardevoir ex, or even Dedenne ex (You can also use it to full Dedenne ex or Gardevoir ex as well). When you do this, for each Psychi energy you attach to a Pokemon, they take 2 damage counters. Then, using Dedenne ex (Paldea Evolved) 's Tail Swap or Munkidori (Twilight Masquerade) 's Adrena-Brain to move those damage counters to you're opponent. Repeat this. But wait, how do you get those Energy BACK into your discard pile to use Psychic Embrace again? Simple, retreat a lot (probably every turn) OR use Professor Turo's Scenario (Paradox Rift) to put a highly energized Dedenne into your hand, discarding all Energy. Then play Dedenne back down, and re-attach all those energy, and move it away with Munkidori, or another Dedenne ex with Tail Swap. The perfect Bench to have with this deck is all 4 Munkidori, Gardevoir ex, 1-2 Dedenne ex, and a Kirlia if you still need to get Energy into your discard pile (This bench is only possible with an Area Zero Underdepths (Stellar Crown) ). So, to put it simply, rip through your deck (but don't run out of cards so that you can't draw at the start of your turn) while discarding Psychic Energy, then use Gardevoir ex to get it back, and move all those damage counters to your opponent using either Adrena-Brain or Tail Swap in a way I call "Artificial Damage" because you're making the damage. BONUS: If you move the damage counters with Munkidori's ability you can still attack and do more damage (or you could use Dedenne ex's Tail Swap (maybe paired with Lisia's Appeal (Surging Sparks) to bring in someone you you can move the damage counters to) which counts as an attack, but can deal with damage more than 120 (the amount Munkidori can move)).

NOTE: If you're opponent has cards that gets rid of your Abilities this deck won't do so good. I haven't tried it without using the Abilities because that defeats the strategy, but I doubt you'd get far.
