The deck offers multiple strategies, all centered around overwhelming opponents with powerful attacks. Starmie EX and Articuno EX can both lead effectively, but Starmie EX’s lower energy cost often makes it the preferred choice.

The core strategy involves leading with Staryu whilst you search for Starmie EX. Once Starmie EX is active, it can hold its own while Articuno EX powers up on the bench, ready to unleash devastating attacks. Thanks to Starmie EX’s free retreat cost, you won’t need to waste any energy when it’s time to swap.

In cases where only Articuno EX appears in your starting hand, it too can be a solid lead if you manage to draw and get lucky with an early Misty flip.

Whether led by Starmie EX or Articuno EX, this deck likes to maintain constant pressure, dealing consistent damage from early to mid-game.

Don’t hesitate to use Sabrina and Giovanni aggressively to eliminate your opponent’s active and benched Pokemon early. This deck puts you in the driver’s seat.
