Deck Primer

Strategy: Item-lock your opponent early on with Budew, then after your Galvantula is set up, item-lock them while doing much more damage. Blissey ex can use get energy attached onto it from Glass Trumpet since Galvantula ex is in play which then allows you to use its ability to move the energy onto Galvantula ex. The single prize Galvantula helps deal with cards like Mimikyu or Charizard ex. Sparkling Crystal helps make Galvantula ex's attack much cheaper. Same

The single prize Galvantula helps deal with cards like Mimikyu or Charizard ex. Sparkling Crystal helps make Galvantula ex's attack much cheaper. Same with Crispin as it can accelerate energy onto Galvantula or Galvantula ex. Powerglass helps recover an energy onto Galvantula ex after using Fulgurite. Additionally, Area Zero Underdepths helps make the board much bigger to hopefully bench all 3 Blissey ex's. Do be careful with Fez as it can become a liability at times.

Edits:

Edit #1: Removed a copy of Ultra Ball for a copy of Switch since Blissey ex may get trapped in the Active.

List looks fun, seems like it could do pretty well in the current meta.

The list is really good! I tried it out in live. Maybe add another budew?

KingCarracosta Thank you for your feedback! Also, I can see if I can add in another Budew.
