Your main goal with this deck is getting Garchomp and Lucario into play as quickly as possible, giving you access to any card in your deck and your highest-damage attack. Your Pokémon will give up only one Prize card when they're Knocked Out, so you'll be shooting to get four Garchomp into battle each game.

Garchomp's Royal Blades attack does a respectable 100 damage by default, but it dishes out an incredible 200 damage if you play Cynthia from your hand during the same turn. You'll probably run out of Cynthia before you've taken all your Prize cards, so plan to put some back in your deck with Pal Pad. You can even bring back Gible, Gabite, or Garchomp (or all three) with Rescue Stretcher.

Lucario's Precognitive Aura Ability is the key to pulling this strategy off consistently. Each of your Lucario can search for any card in your deck once per turn, helping you find key cards like Cynthia and Double Colorless Energy to keep the attacks rolling. This Ability can only be used if you have a Garchomp in play, so make sure to keep setting up more Garchomp on your Bench.

The early turns, before you can get Lucario and Garchomp into play, are the trickiest part of the game for this deck, so we've included several cards to help. Alolan Vulpix's no-cost Beacon attack can search out any two Pokémon from your deck. The Supporter card Pokémon Fan Club is a great way to find Basic Pokémon early on, while Nest Ball, Timer Ball, and Ultra Ball can search out more Pokémon whenever you have the chance. Gible and Gabite can use their Ascension attack to evolve if you don't have the right cards in hand.

If you don't have enough Double Colorless Energy, you can swap them out for Fighting Energy, but be warned that you'll need an extra turn to attach enough Energy for Garchomp's Royal Blades.
