There are only Grass and Normal-type Pokémon in this deck which could help or hinder your battles. Decidueye uses Leaf Blade to inflict 30 damage but a flip of the coin could double that in no time while Brave Bird deals a whopping 120 damage but can take a toll on the user by hurting itself.

Primarina lets you heal all of your Pokémon but figuring out when is the problem. Espeon gives you ten damage counters to place on your opponents team however you want which could lead to a quick victory depending on what's there.<br> <br>"We are introducing this limit to make sure all fans and collectors have a fair opportunity to enjoy Trading Cards.
