Deck Primer

Spread a lot of damage with many Pokémon.

...

Spread a lot of damage with many Pokémon.

Strategy: I'd recommend to go second to get an Early Insta-Strike, but going first is fine. Anyways, for your First Turn, you should get up Latias ex if possible for the Free Retreat, 1-2 Hop's Zacian ex, 1 Munkidori, and 1 Hop's Snorlax. Getting our Cramorant could also help but it's typically better to leave options for your Bench. Do try to get out Postwick in safe situations as getting that extra 30 Damage is really helpful. Anyways, the ACE SPEC of choice, Secret Box, is quite helpful as you can get out all the cards you need like Postwick, Hop's Choice Band, a Supporter, and Item Card you need which is really good. Anyways, in the Early Game you should try to get your Munkidori's set up and using Insta-Strike a lot for that extra spread damage which also applies pressure. Bundle is a decent gust option in the Early Game especially if they have a Pokémon on their Bench that could brick them or take out a Pokémon they need such as Dreepy or Ralts. Cram is useful when your Oppomnent has 3-4 Prizes left and Snorlax is a good backup Attacker as well but getting the Energy onto it is a bit odd due to Munkidori. Anyways, Jet Energy is a good way to get your Pokémon like Zacian into the Avtive especially if Latias is prized. That's about it so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!
