Deck Primer

This so far seems to be one of the best decks in the format, which isn't too surprising.

Strategy: Like most other decks in this current format, go second. Anyways, on your first turn, attempt to get out 2-3 Marnie's Impidimp's, 1 Munkidori, 1 Snorunt (Completely optional), 1 Budew (Also optional), Tatsugiri (Optional), and either Bundle (Optional) or Maractus (Optional). Then what you do that turn is up to you, whether you use TM: Evolution, Itchy Pollen, or Corner Stall with Maractus. Secret Box,

Then what you do that turn is up to you, whether you use TM: Evolution, Itchy Pollen, or Corner Stall with Maractus. Secret Box, the ACE SPEC of choice, functions as an Engine in this deck, because it allows you to find the Supporter you need, an Item Card you need, a Tool Card you need, and either Artazon or Spikemuth. Furthermore, this card can be found via Arven which should be quite easy to find as there are 4 copies in this deck, Tatsugiri, which when in the Active Spot, looks at the Top 6 Cards of your deck, and if you find a Supporter within those 6 Cards, you can take that Supporter Card and add it into your hand. Anyways, if you choose to use TM: Evolution and have Spikemuth in play, you can get out Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex out right after using TM: Evolution the previous turn which is really helpful. Artazon helps you search your deck for your Basic Non-Rulebox early on which is quite helpful. Anyways, Froslass spreads damage on all Pokémon with Abilities excluding itself, which can be taken advantage of by Munkidori's Adrena-Brain, as you can still forcefully spread damage onto them even if their Pokémon don't have Abilities, it also allows Grimmsnarl to take KO's a bit easier and can set up a TM: Devolution play as well. Air Balloon was recently rereleased in this current set, Black Bolt and White Flare (specifically in Black Bolt), which is much better than Rescue Board, as it gives Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex Free Retreat, and can still give your other Pokémon Free Retreat. Iron Bundle provides Early Game gust, but could also be helpful later on in the game if they only have 1 Pokémon on the Bench that they need and Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex helps as an Endgame Attacker to hopefully take the last prize cards you need to win the game. There's not much else to explain about the strategy section, so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

CTC: The cards that'd I would recommend to add into this list, will be sorted into a list with a brief description, if there are any cards here, or any cards of your own ideas/thoughts, cut out the cards you don't find useful, with that being said, here is the list:

- 3rd Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex - Provides better consistency and allows you to not always need to use a Recovery Card in order to get another Grimmsnarl out.

- 1 Shaymin (DRI) - Provides an Early Game Bench Barrier to your Non-Rulebox Pokémon that blocks Damage from Attacks from Pokémon like Blaziken (DRI), Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex's Attack, Torrential Pump, Tera Greninja ex's Mirage Barrage, etc. Though, it doesn't block Damage Counters as that is its own Separate thing, so it doesn't block the 6 Damage Counters from Pult.

- 1 Fezandipiti ex - Useful Draw Support, but Froslass can damage it so it'll slowly get KO'd.

- 4th Munkidori - Even more consistency and more Adrena-Brain's can be used.

- 4th Professor's Research - Alternative choice to the 4th Arven.

- 2nd Nest Ball - Helps find your Basic Pokémon, but Artazon finds it, and the other cards here like Iono and Professor's Researcch can potentially find them if you're lucky.

- Energy Search - Decent at times if you can't get out your Grimmsnarl just yet, it also can let you use TM: Evolution on your First Turn without hoping to find an Energy at the start.

- 3rd Spikemuth - If this is added in, cut out 1 Artazon, as it an Alternative to that.

Well, those are all the cards I can suggest, so feel free to whatever you wish with this list, and have a good day!

I apologize for not posting any decks for 3 days again, I've been busy testing many decks in this current format, but there will be more decks releasing soon.
