Turn one: Discard one of each basic energy by using battle compressor, ultra ball, quick ball, dedenne, Viridian Forest, aurora energy, & the Tag team's "violent appetite" ability. Then discard multiple ho-ohs with the same methods. Use ho-oh's ability & ninja boy the ho-oh with energy into the tag team. If you can do more discarding, discard one of each supporter you don't have in your hand for VS Seeker later.

Tips:

- Remember that ho-oh's ability is on a coin flip/Not Guaranteed, so put multiple ho-ohs in the discard

- Oranguru can put a pokemon from your hand into your deck to then be ninja boyd

- The tag team's ability can also discard ho-ohs.

- Scramble switch is the exception to the ninja boy rule.

- ninja boy for blissey can be a safe option against decks that turn off abilities.(remember blissey can also accelerate special energy)

- Try to leave a bench spot open for a ho-oh mid to late game

- Peony can grab a a combination of scramble switch guzma, or scramble switch ninja boy, or float stone scramble switch if you want to bench an attacker and you need to get ho-oh in the active to switch the energy to your attacker

- Empoleon from the discard can give you more cards after you used peony

- rule box pokemon who are badly damaged can be ninja boyd into a single prize pokemon to give up less prizes, but that's ok because the energy is recycled back into the discard for ho-oh to reuse 

- Use Viridian forest over Wondrous Labrynth against control decks because energy denial decks combined with wondrous labrynth helps their deck more against your attackers that require specific energy costs unless you can pay your attack cost that turn such as Blissey by charging it up with a ho-oh

 - Ninetales V can copy strong attacks from Zacian V & V union while hitting weakness. Crobat V can also be used to clean up against dark weak decks like shadow rider & dragapult

-  Bench marshadow GX instead of discarding it if you need to discard your hand. Manually attatching to him can set him up as a backup attacker or a useful scramble switch option

Strengths: takes early prizes, Versatile, energy acceleration, potential to knock out anything, Blissey as an attacker + flannery & wondrous labrynth vs ultra necrozma/garbador early game.

Weaknesses: bench space, Volcarona V, Vileplume (ability:"disgusting pollen"), ability lock (silent lab)
