Jacq is a replacement for Lance which helps you get out a Drakloak or Pult (or other cards like Dusknoir). Hawlucha helps against Miraidon ex, Terabox, and just decks that use Pikachu ex in general since it puts damage onto it allowing Pult to one shot it. The ACE SPEC of choice, Unfair Stamp, is a great Disruption Card and allows you to potentially

The ACE SPEC of choice, Unfair Stamp, is a great Disruption Card and allows you to potentially get a better hand and bring your Opponent down to 2. Anyways, feel free to make changes or leave any suggestions!

Edits:

Edit #1: Removed Brock's Scouting for Jacq and replaced Clefairy with Lillie's Clefairy ex.

Edit #3: Removed Unfair Stamp and  the 2nd Crispin, they have been replaced with a Sparkling Crystal (because it was way better after more testing) and a 2nd Boss's Orders was added.

Edit #4: Removed a copy of Ultra Ball and Sparkling Crystal. They have been replaced with a 2nd Jacq and Unfair Stamp.

I'm gonna regret posting this deck because I don't like playing Dragapult ex as it's just too easy to win with it. I am sorry for releasing this deck list.

A deck list of Dragapult ex? I like the idea of Lillie's Clefairy ex helping to counter other Dragapults but this list is going to cause people's opponents to suffer

Waffle Enthusiast That unfortunately will happen though, those wall decks seem pretty good.

Removed Lillie's Clefairy ex as it wasn't as useful as I expected it too.

I wanna start by saying I'm brand spanking new to the TCG, so I'm curious on why Hawlucha without any fighting energy? Is it simply for the ability?

Maddie C Exactly correct! Dragapult ex focuses on spread damage (damage to the Bench) so Hawlucha is played for when just a little more damage is necessary to take a KO.
