Meowscarada ex wins through Flower Trick, a single Grass Energy attack that schedules 70 damage on any Bench or Active spot at the end of the opponent's next turn. By combining this scheduled damage with Solar Beam and Leaf Cape protection, the deck punishes opponents who cannot dodge or heal the incoming hit.
Open by playing Sprigatito with Poké Ball and using Rare Candy to accelerate toward Meowscarada ex as fast as possible, relying on Professor's Research and Copycat to find Floragato and the final evolution through draw. Once Meowscarada ex is active, use Flower Trick each turn to queue 70 damage on a priority Bench target or the Active Pokemon. Mid-game, Cyrus forces the chosen target to stay in the Active Spot, ensuring the Flower Trick damage lands. Leaf Cape reduces incoming damage to keep Meowscarada ex alive, and Solar Beam at two Grass Energy finishes weakened targets for point-scoring knockouts.
Flower Trick
70 damage lands at end of opponent's next turn on the chosen spot
One Grass Energy cost; Cyrus can lock the chosen target into the Active Spot to guarantee the hit
Solar Beam
80 base damage at 2 Grass Energy
Combined with prior Flower Trick damage can knock out 150 HP ex targets in two turns
Flower Trick costs only one Grass Energy and hits any Bench target. Aim it at the opponent's next attacker to deal 70 damage before it even enters the Active Spot. Cyrus then pulls that damaged Pokemon forward, turning it into a clean knockout. This two-card combo scores points off Bench Pokemon that opponents thought were safe.
Rare Candy skips Floragato entirely, getting Meowscarada ex into the Active Spot faster. Use Professor's Research and Copycat to dig for Rare Candy and the Sprigatito line early. Teal Mask Ogerpon ex can attack independently on turns where Meowscarada ex is not yet evolved, keeping pressure on without spending your evolution resources.
Meowscarada ex is Grass type and vulnerable to Fire attackers. Cinderace and similar high-damage Fire decks can knock out Meowscarada ex before its Leaf Cape and healing tools fully compensate for the damage. A 2-point knockout early leaves the Meowscarada player needing to draw into their second copy quickly.
Flower Trick damage resolves at the end of your own turn. If you retreat the targeted Pokemon before your turn ends and replace it with a high-HP or tool-equipped target, the 70 damage lands on a less critical spot. Erika can also heal existing damage from a prior Flower Trick hit, reducing the value of repeated targeting.
Meowscarada ex is a Stage 2 that must arrive through draw. Aggressive pressure on Sprigatito and Floragato while they sit on the bench delays the main attacker by multiple turns. A 1-point KO on Sprigatito forces the opponent to find their second copy, costing critical setup turns.
