Please try this out seems ridiculous I know but its so good
Celebi really comes in handy to allow energy freedom, letting Lucario attack for one energy. Start with Riolu, and if Celebi is on the board you can attack and move energy around. Or it can give Lopunny a solid attack if you don’t want to risk the coin flip. That 20 power pound combined with Lucario, Korina and the arena gives Lopunny a guaranteed 90 attack. Defense cards would be nice, but this deck is all out attack. SS could be good instead of 2 CC maybe
Annihilape + Celebi can do a surprising amount of damage for a 1 prize pokemon, provided you have enough turns to get 2 Annihilape active, your opponent will have to deal quite a bit of damage to win (and they’ll be punished for doing so). Replace May with Lisia or another Copycat if you prefer.
