I Playtested this deck

...

I Playtested this deck on Pokémon TCG Live and it performs as well as the original play level 2 deck. It's maybe even a little better than the original with Calamitous Snowy Mountain (which replaced Lake Acuity) used early in the game. The draw support from Radiant Greninja is surpassed by Fezandipiti ex's Flip The Script ability. To be very clear, I didn't lose any games against the people I pitted this deck against, but none of my opponents fielded decks I was concerned about. It's actually a really good deck.
