### **Core Pokémon Strategy:**

- **Magikarp**: Supports Gyarados EX by helping you set up quickly with "Lively Grouping" to find more Magikarp.

- **Golduck**: Provides energy recycling with "Aquatic Rescue," allowing you to recover Water Energy from the discard pile to keep your attackers fueled.

- **Starmie V**: Another strong attacker with the move "Swift" that ignores effects on the opponent’s Active Pokémon.

- **Radiant Blastoise**: Offers versatile support with its "Pump Shot" ability, which allows you to place damage counters directly on your opponent's Pokémon.

### **Support Pokémon:**

- **Hawlucha**: Adds chip damage to your opponent's Pokémon with its "Flying Entry" ability when played from the hand.

- **Klefki**: Disrupts your opponent’s Basic Pokémon abilities with "Mischievous Lock," slowing down their setup.

- **Manaphy**: Protects your Bench Pokémon from damage with its "Wave Veil" ability.

### **Trainer Cards:**

- **Irida**: Key to your strategy, allowing you to search for a Water Pokémon and an Item card each turn, ensuring consistent setup and resource management.

- **Candice**: Helps you look at the top 7 cards of your deck and find any number of Water-type Pokémon and Energy, speeding up your setup.

- **Iono**: A disruptive card that forces both players to shuffle their hands into their decks and draw a new hand equal to the number of their remaining Prize cards. This can be especially useful if your opponent has a strong hand.

- **Rare Candy**: Allows for quick evolution from Psyduck to Golduck, bypassing the need to evolve slowly over turns.

- **Boss’s Orders**: Provides strategic targeting, allowing you to bring a specific Pokémon from your opponent's Bench into the Active spot, often used to finish off a weaker or more strategic target.

### **Item Cards:**

- **Nest Ball** and **Ultra Ball**: Ensure that you can find and place the Pokémon you need on the Bench or evolve them quickly.

- **Energy Search**: Keeps a steady supply of Water Energy flowing to your attackers.

- **Pal Pad**: Recycles important Supporter cards like Irida or Candice back into the deck, ensuring they can be used again.

- **Switch**: Helps with mobility, allowing you to change your Active Pokémon to adapt to the battle.

### **Energy:**

- **Basic Water Energy**: The core energy source for your deck, used to power your Water-type Pokémon’s attacks.

### **Overall Strategy:**

The deck is designed to control the flow of the game by setting up strong attackers like Gyarados EX and Starmie V, while using Golduck and Radiant Blastoise for energy management and additional damage. Hawlucha, Klefki, and Manaphy provide utility and disruption, making it harder for your opponent to counter your strategy. With a mix of consistent draw power, search options, and strategic targeting, the deck reflects Misty’s Water-type mastery while providing a balanced and versatile playstyle.
