 -One of two ways to search energy along w/ Guzma & Hala.

1 Escape Rope PLS 120

-One time switch, though float stone is generally preferred.

1 Colress PLS 135

-Strongest draw supporter, shuffle-drawing 8-16 cards depending on bench size. Will usually be around 10 due to Sudowoodo.

1 Professor Juniper PLF 116

-Discard draw. Could be switched with something like an extra Cynthia in order to prevent excessive loss of resources

3 Ultra Ball SUM 135

-Discard Pokemon search. Enables Zoroark transformations.

1 Guzma & Hala CEC 193

-Other one of two ways to search energy, also searching Sky Field to enable large bench.

1 Rescue Stretcher GRI 130

-Enables rebuilding after bounced Sky Field. Also may need to be used to recover Sylveons in more grindy games.

1 Cynthia UPR 119

-Shuffle Draw 6 allows us to see a relatively fresh hand without losing resources necessary for late game.

2 Pokemon Communication

-Easy non-discard Pokemon search that allows us to shuffle in late game Pokemon like Dragonite-EX in favor of higher priority Pokemon in early game.

-While the deck does play 24 Pokemon, I'm considering changing this for more Quick Balls to weigh the upsides of being able to always find a pokemon with the some what negative aspect of having to discard.

2 Quick Ball

-Searches up basics. Priority order starts with Sylveon V due to its item search ability then deviates based on opponents strategy.

2 Evolution Incense SSH 163

-Primarily used for searching up Sylveon VMAX, but also finds all of our Zoroark targets, Zoroark, Zoroark-GX & Octillery

1 Ribbon Badge EVS 155

-Reduces Sylveon VMAX to 2 prize cards, allowing the deck to attack with three Sylveons in a game.

1 Brigette BKT 161

-Enables quick T1 going second turns for a full bench T2. Also good to discard w/ Ultra Ball or Zoroark-GX.

1 Boss's Orders BRS 132

-Gust effect is extra useful against taking out two-prize support Pokemon against one-prize attacking decks.

1 Choice Belt BRS 135

-Extra 30 lets Sylveon OHKO basically everything. Consider not attaching in favor of Ribbon Badge for skewing prize race.

1 Roseanne's Backup BRS 172

-Re-use of our four energy cards, and three vital stadium cards.

-Extra reach against deckout races.

1 Special Charge STS 105

-One of two ways to rebuy our Triple Acceleration Energy. Along with playing Roseanne's Backup, deck effectively has 7 turns it can attack.

-DO NOT PLAY for one card unless you're hitting for lethal.

1 Switch EVO 88

-Able to move out gusted Pokemon-- currently testing cutting this for a supporter like Phoebe, Pokemon Ranger or Karen.

3 VS Seeker PHF 109

-Allows for the greedy but extremely flexible 1-of supporter strategy.

3 Sky Field ROS 89

-The enabler. Allows a bench size of 8 for both players, but Sudowoodo restricts them to 4. Allows for Sylveon to hit for 310/340 choice, Zoroark for 180/210 choice.

1 Hisuian Heavy Ball

-A godsend to greedy decks like these, searching up prized basics. If a Sylveon V is prized, take it.

1 Float Stone BKT 137

-Free retreater. Generally only need one due to decks ability to out-tempo/one-shot even the tankiest pokemon.

Energy - 4

4 Triple Acceleration Energy UNB 190
