4-1 at the most strange Challenge I've played at for Top 4

Dengo W
Festival Lead L
Gardevoir W
Festival Lead W

This tournament felt like every game was a fever dream

Ditto busted in this build, securing early Wellspring helps so much into Item Lock

Guys, it's a hit and run poison deck 👀
Salazzle ex!
R - Nasty Plot
Search your deck for up to any 2 cards and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your deck.
RR - Fatal Nail 100
Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned and Burned. Switch this Pokémon with one of your Benched Pokemon.

Top 8 at a Cup with DawnZard.

Unfortunately I got farmed in Top 8 by PultNoir, but definitely felt like I played well.

Heat fire but for grass
Growth Grass Energy
(Special Energy)
While it is attached to a Pokémon, this Energy provides 1 Grass Energy.
The Pokemon this card is attached to gets +20HP.

Judge into 240 seems decent. And you can ignition for the colorless cost on turns you don't judge.

I could see this seeing play potentially.
Decidueye ex!
Ability: Eye of the Sniper
If your opponent has exactly 4 cards in hand, ignore all Colorless Energy in the cost of attacks used by this Pokémon.
GCCC - Crushing Arrow 240
Discard an Energy from your opponent's Active Pokémon.
January 9, 2026 at 5:11 AM
Nice, both low cost spread and a big shred attack. Very cool
Mega Starmie ex!
W - Jet Blow 120
This attack also does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon.
CCC - Nebula Beam 210
This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon.

I love how the packs arts for Perfect Order feature three giant alien monsters from outer space and one small cat on a bench.

I'm gonna be saying "I play Meowth, that's right" for the next 3 years. And I think that's amazing
Meowth ex!
Ability: Trump Card Catch
Once during your turn, when you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench, you may search your deck for a Supporter card and put it into your hand.
You can't use this Ability if you've already used another Ability with "Trump Card" it its name this turn.

Who's ready for this to randomly win worlds again.

Flip 3 coins. For each heads, search your deck for up to 2 Basic Energy and attach them to your Pokemon in any way you like. Then shuffle your deck.
CCC - Ear Force 20+
This attack does 80 more damage for each Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon.
