#Deck NameKey Strategy & Why It’s Strong
1Gardevoir exThis deck remains at the top tier: it uses Gardevoir ex’s ability to attach Psychic Energy and deal damage via effects like Munkidori, allowing efficient knock‑outs and control of the field. (Spell Mana)

11Moonlight Jury(Often referenced under a Tera/Type‑shift umbrella) Uses TMs and Stone tools to adjust type weaknesses and surprise the opponent. While niche, it’s performed well in skilled hands. (Spell Mana)
