Using the Punk Helmet, if your opponent chooses to hit Mega Scrafty ex, then they will be dealt 9 damage counters to themselves. This deck capitalizes on loose damage counters around the board and makes it annoying to attack Mega Scrafty ex. In addition, damage dealt to yourself can be moved to the opponent's side with the help of Munkidori, filling the space for Mega Scrafty to deal more damage. Although this might not fully counter the 3 attack cost and only 160 damage, alternative lines could be played with the Dusknoir line to better assist with getting knock outs more consistently. With Dudunsparce and Enriching Energy, drawing cards is an easy feat. I purposefully left out Fezandipiti ex because it is overall a liability and allows your opponent to draw an easy 2 prizer with Boss's Orders. In this deck, the only way to draw more than one prize card in an attack is to hit Mega Scraft or Mega Absol ex; none of which are easy knock outs and require resources. It is unfortunate that this deck cannot be played against Gardevoir ex for long, because it is a very good counter to it. Overall, in this deck your opponent will either have to play around your Mega Scrafty ex and go for one prizers, which is very inefficient, or face Mega Scrafty head on and be dealt 5 or 9 damage counters to itself.
