umbreon ex

Espeon ex is a great finisher for this deck, capable of devolving each of your opponent's Pokemon with its Amazez attack. When you use this attack, you'll shuffle the highest Stage Evolution of each of your opponent's Pokemon in play back into their deck. By timing this correctly, if those Pokemon have any damage on them, you may be able to Knock Out each of the Pokemon you just devolved. The lone copy of Umbreon ex is for use as a backup attacker, capable of dealing 160 damage plus Confusion with

Any deck running Darkness Energy should include some copies of Munkidori TWM 95. When you use its Adrena-Brain Ability, you can move up to 3 damage counters from one of your Pokemon to one of your opponent's Pokemon, once per turn. By spreading the damage around on your opponent's team, you can set up a devastating Amazez attack

Arven offers you the means of searching your deck for an Item and a Pokemon Tool, giving you card advantage over your opponent. By playing Boss’s Orders , you get to choose which of your opponent's you would like to attack. By choosing something that will give you multiple Prize cards once it is Knocked Out, you can gain quite an advantage over your opponent. Cheren's Care is a great way of helping you ensure that your Blissey ex doesn't get Knocked Out. It can also be a great way of moving it from your Active Spot if your opponent moves it there with their own play of Boss’s Orders.

I mentioned card advantage earlier, and this next pair of cards can offer you a great amount of card advantage. Playing Professor's Research requires you to discard your current hand of cards, but it allows you to draw a new hand of 7 cards. It's the best way to refill your hand in Standard. Depending on how many Prize cards you've taken, playing Iono can also be a great way of refreshing your hand. Iono also resets your opponent's hand to the number of Prize cards they have remaining, so this can help slow down their momentum if they get too far ahead

The final cards of this deck are more general purpose cards that you'll find helpful most of the time. Night Stretcher offers you a way of being able to reuse a Basic Energy or Pokemon from your discard pile. Rigid Band provides some extra defense for Blissey ex (or any of your Stage 1 Pokemon, really), allowing the Pokemon it is attached to to take 30 less damage from attacks. Finally, Switch offers you a bit of mobility, letting you exchange the placement of your Active Pokemon with a Pokemon from your Bench, without having to discard any Energy to pay a Retreat Cost.

Sequencing is very important for this deck, and knowing how much damage to move to your opponent's Pokemon can allow you to score multiple Knock Outs with a single use of Espeon ex's Amazez attack. While this deck can excel against a deck relying on Evolution Pokemon, it also has the tools to defeat decks that focus on Basic Pokemon as well.
