Deck Primer

I apologize for releasing this deck very late I was supposed to release this much earlier.

Strategy: Start off by getting up your Finizen's and preparing your other Pokémon like Sneasel, Munkidori, and Pecharunt. Palafin's Zero to Hero helps you get out Palafin ex out of it switches from the bench to the Active. Which Palafin ex can do 250 for 1 Water Energy which can become 300 thanks to the ACE SPEC of choice, Maximum Belt, which does fall short on Stage Two's but that

I apologize for releasing this deck very late I was supposed to release this much earlier.

Strategy: Start off by getting up your Finizen's and preparing your other Pokémon like Sneasel, Munkidori, and Pecharunt. Palafin's Zero to Hero helps you get out Palafin ex out of it switches from the bench to the Active. Which Palafin ex can do 250 for 1 Water Energy which can become 300 thanks to the ACE SPEC of choice, Maximum Belt, which does fall short on Stage Two's but that can be dealt with thanks to Gravity Mountain and if it still falls short on Pokémon with 340 HP, use Munkidori to move damage onto them. Additionally, since a bit of switch cards are in this deck you can take advantage of the Single Prize Palafin to swing for 210 by moving it to the Active. Also, Weavile helps gust up a Basic Pokémon and can get into the active due to Pecharunt to then use Rescue Board to retreat into Palafin. You can cut it down to a 1-1 Line if desired as well. Bloodmoon still helps as a late game attacker and Kieran can be replaced for Black Belt's Training if you want 40 more damage instead of 30. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions!

Interesting concept, and I'm gonna steal this list with some modifications as I was looking for a Palafin deck.

Waffle Enthusiast Thank you for your feedback! Also, have fun using a modified version!

Just a suggestion for people having difficulty potentially getting rescue board in play, consider replacing one of the sneasels for a Sneasel (Prismatic Evolutions) , as that has a free retreat cost. While it does put it in pult range, it can be a bit more flexible in allowing Palafin ex (Twilight Masquerade) to move around.
