Lonely Lucario

this is the deck i usually use in expanded, lucario fight alone.

idea is to only have 1 pkmn on your bench, so that the opponent is forced to limit their bench space to reduce your dmg

puff isn't necessary, but is a blowout if it hits. you don't need 4 puff. N resets the opponent's hand for another attempt at hitting something off puff.

exp share and max elixir help you keep up on energy as you need 2 attachments each turn, you need to be attacking every turn. 12 energy instead of 10 to hit it off

i've found this deck can't afford the discard cost of ultra ball, hence evosoda. it works better than you'd think.

i included path to the peak in this list as it seems like it'd fit well, idk if you need 4 or not though, since it only works against certain matchups.

often times you don't need a full hand, just 1 specific card, hence skyla. skyla gets path to the peak.

escape rope comes up more than you'd think, since the opponent is incentivized to keep their bench small.

1 hammer is enough, you don't need much to keep up, just a little push. super rod is necessary.
