Beautifly is an ok deck, you can hit 120 pretty consistently (150 with burn + poison from Dustox), but the list suffers from not having a good finisher. Cradily should help, as you can get through a ton of your deck with Cocoon Collector to find Rare Candy, Fossil, and Cradily. This allows you to keep the Beautifly + Dustox stuff while having a way to do something once both Beautifly are knocked out.

Ever since they added the demon worm last set, I have been waiting for :DeNA to release a grass type fossil Pokémon to guarantee leading off with it. And I’m happy to say… THE DEMON WORM HAS RETURNED. I really think this deck has potential to be a top meta threat, but haven’t seen anyone talk about it yet. I don’t have time to enter tournaments now, but would love it if someone could try to get some results with this deck. Please help our demon worm get the recognition it deserves! Thank you❤️
