Deck Primer

Donk your Opponents that's basically all Moon does now but still is decent in this format especially since many decks with Stages are being played.

Strategy: Go first with this deck, it's quite common especially since many decks like going second in this format. Anyways, for your First Turn, you should hope your Opponent only has One Pokémon in play but prioritize getting out Pecharunt, Brute Bonnet, and Squawkabilly ex. You could also get out Latias ex and Pecharunt ex as a

Donk your Opponents that's basically all Moon does now but still is decent in this format especially since many decks with Stages are being played.

Strategy: Go first with this deck, it's quite common especially since many decks like going second in this format. Anyways, for your First Turn, you should hope your Opponent only has One Pokémon in play but prioritize getting out Pecharunt, Brute Bonnet, and Squawkabilly ex. You could also get out Latias ex and Pecharunt ex as a way to get your Pecharunt into the Active Spot. Furthermore, get ABEC onto Bonnet and Poison your Opponent's Active, then try to get Perilous Jungle into play. You should be able to do 80 Damage during Pokémon Checkup which could lead to you Donking your Opponent. Anyways, you have many options to try and find these cards such as Carmine, Squawk, Pokégear to find Carmine, and Secret Box the ACE SPEC of choice  which is essentially the main engine of this deck due to how versatile it is. Though, if you cannot Donk them, set up your Moon by getting Energies into the Discard Pile for Sada's Vitality later on which is your main Draw Engine. You can recover your Supporters with Pal Pad, Counter Catcher is a good Gust Option later on when you're behind on prizes. Binding Mochi is not necessarily needed but it can help Moon swing for 260 or for 140 when Poisoned which is decently good especially if you plan to save Frenzied Gouging for later on. Additionally, Koraidon is here as a backup Attacker along with Pecharunt ex. Munkidori helps move damage off of your Pokémon and onto your Opponent's which makes getting KO's with Calamity Storm a lot easier. Anyways, Mew can also help as a backup Attacker and not just draw support as well if set up properly. Anyways, later on in the game, try to keep consistently swinging for 220-260 (if Binding Mochi is in play) while discarding the stadium's with Calamity Storm to slowly defeat your Opponent and Frenzied Gouging should be used on Pokémon with high HP like above 300 or on Pikachu ex with the Stellar Tera. To get your Energies into the discard pile, use Secret Box, Carmine, Squawk, and Earthen Vessel. Also, with Poison Damage after discarding the stadium and with Mochi in play along with Munkidori moving 30 off, can let the total damage reach 300 Damage that turn which is pretty good. That's all I have to say about this deck, so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

LimeLemon Why is Janine's Secret Art in this deck?

Waffle Enthusiast Seems I forgot to mention why Janine's Secret Art is here but she's here to help get Energy into play if you don't have any Energies in the Discard Pile and to Poison Roaring Moon or someone else to deal more damage with Binding Mochi incase Bonnet was KO'dd.
