This is a modification of the popular Gardevoir ex deck.

My main tactic is dealing lots of damage with the two Gardevoir ex (Scarlet & Violet)'s and the two Zacian V (Celebrations)'s. I have added one Zacian V because that gives me a bigger chance that I will pull one at the start of the game, and it's often easier to play than the Gardevoir (Chilling Reign). In it's place I have removed one Kirlia, because the 3 Rare Candy can be used to evolve the Ralts quicker.

I have also replaced Mew (Celebrations)

This is a modification of the popular Gardevoir ex deck.

My main tactic is dealing lots of damage with the two Gardevoir ex (Scarlet & Violet)'s and the two Zacian V (Celebrations)'s. I have added one Zacian V because that gives me a bigger chance that I will pull one at the start of the game, and it's often easier to play than the Gardevoir (Chilling Reign). In it's place I have removed one Kirlia, because the 3 Rare Candy can be used to evolve the Ralts quicker.

I have also replaced Mew (Celebrations) with Mimikyu (Paldea Evolved). Mimikyu is great for stalling when your opponent has stronger attacks than you. This is a really important card in some games, whereas Mew rarely has any use.

Lastly, I replaced the Radiant Greninja (Astral Radiance) for a Gallade (Astral Radiance), just because I personally find the Ability more useful and I can also use the card to attack if I need to.

I have removed the four Battle VIP Pass, because putting two basic Pokemon on your bench really isn't helpful enough to justify having 4 less item cards, especially since I can only use this card during my first turn. Instead, I have a Bravery Charm (which I equip onto Zacian V, which really comes in clutch to be able to land another hit before passing out) and a Defiance Band (Again, the +30 damage can really come in clutch). I have also added one Jacq which can be used to find Gardevoirs if none are in play yet, and a Sweet Honey, because it can keep an important Pokemon alive for one more important turn, if youre lucky.

I have replaced two of the Level Balls with Nest Balls. Usually I can use two Level Balls for Basic Pokemon or a Kirlia when needed (which is not that often), whereas the two Nest Balls can be used to pull Zacian V's instead, which can save a game as well.

I have replaced the Collapsed Stadium with Mesagoza. Only having four slots hinders my own playstyle as well, whereas finding an extra Pokémon can help me out when I'm looking for a specific one.

Lastly, I have removed one Super Rod and 2 Ultra Balls, because I never use either of these more than once. Instead I use Arven, finding one tool and one item is really OP, I also have a Switch Cart and Roxanne.

And for the energies, I have just replaced the Reversal Energy with a normal Psychic Energy. I'm not a fan of Special Energies, in my experience I get them when I need a normal energy, and don't get them when I need one. And none of the items and Pokémon that can find or move energies can do so with Special Energies, making it much more luck-based.

 

I have found with this arrangement that I much more often pull cards that I actually need, and have a response for anything that my opponent might throw at me, especially against the Miraidon and Arkani ex decks.
