Deck Primer

Gameplan: Trap opponent in active with Crushing Hammer (Crown Zenith) and Boss's Orders (Brilliant Stars) or make it difficult for them to switch out. Then use Medicham (Scarlet & Violet) to prevent them from attacking. 

Thoughts
1) PoGo Slowbro serves as a wincon. Raihan (Evolving Skies) is required to accelerate to Slowbro since the deck does not run DTE
2) Mightyena (Astral Radiance) for ohko on Mew Vmax and/or Gardevoir EX
3) Flapple (Evolving Skies) for lost box matchup

Considerations:...

Considerations:
1) Spidops ex (Scarlet & Violet) for trapping in active
2) Miss Fortune Sisters (Lost Origin) to remove switching cards from deck
3) Defiance Band (Scarlet & Violet) to deal more damage
4) 1 or 2 more energy probably required; Radiant Greninja (Astral Radiance) could be useful then
5) 1 more copy of Roxanne (Astral Radiance) probably required
6) maybe run Pokémon Catcher (Crown Zenith) for additional trapping opportunities

Very much a work-in-progress idea. Has not been tested.
