If not available: Budew
If not available: Duskull
If not available: Fezandipiti ex
If not available: Meowth ex

Common Actions for All Turns
Always shuffle your hand (be careful not to be intimidating).
Prioritize using the Ability "Recon Directive" above all other actions.
For "Recon Directive," always add the second card to your hand. Ensure the card drawn from the deck is visible to the camera.
When deciding which cards to discard with Ultra Ball, reshuffle your hand and choose the two cards on the far right.
On turns where you cannot use Items, mutter with a grimace, "I wish I could use Items..."
Before using a Supporter, ask, "How many cards are in your hand?"
When using an attack, declare it apologetically.
In the unlikely event that you are about to win unilaterally, declare during your turn: "I am programmed to sleep temporarily for the sake of the video," and then sleep for 5 minutes using your own timer.
→ Reboot on your next turn. At that time, vigorously declare to the staff: "Rai-Rai-Chu-Chu, crazy about Poke-Ka! Hello, I'm Lairai Umekawa," and resume activities.
Pokémon Priority
If there is space on the Bench → If you have Basic Pokémon in hand, play them to the Bench.
Dreepy is top priority, followed by Duskull, then Budew.
Do not play Pokémon ex unless specific conditions are met.
Item Priority
Poké-Stop → Buddy-Buddy Poffin → Ultra Ball → Night Stretcher
【Poké-Stop】
If there is a Dreepy on the field that can evolve → Drakloak (Top Priority)
If there is no Dreepy on the field → Dreepy (Next Priority)
If there are 2 or more Drakloak on the field → If there is a Duskull on the field → Dusclops or Dusknoir (Prioritize Dusknoir if you have Rare Candy in hand and Duskull is on the Bench)
If there are 2 or more Drakloak on the field → If there is no Duskull on the field → Duskull
Budew → Usually lowest priority, but top priority on the first turn going second or turns where you likely cannot attack.
【Buddy-Buddy Poffin】
Prioritize Dreepy.
Next priority is Duskull (if you have a total of 3 or more Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult ex).
Budew (Usually lowest priority, but top priority on the first turn going second or turns where you likely cannot use "Phantom Dive").
【Ultra Ball】
When deciding which cards to discard with Ultra Ball, reshuffle your hand and choose the two cards on the far right.
If you have no Supporter in hand or only Boss’s Orders → Meowth ex is top priority.
If winning conditions with Boss’s Orders are met → Meowth ex is top priority.
*Winning conditions with Boss’s Orders → If you can take all remaining Prize cards by knocking out the opponent's Pokémon with "Phantom Dive," or if you have only 1 Prize card remaining.
If there is no Dragapult ex or Drakloak on the field → Prioritize Drakloak.
If there is a Drakloak with Energy attached → Prioritize Dragapult ex.
If there is a Dreepy with Energy attached and you have Rare Candy → Prioritize Dragapult ex.
Next priority is Dusclops.
Then Dusknoir.
Finally Budew (Top priority on the first turn going second or turns where you likely cannot use "Phantom Dive").
【Night Stretcher】
When using this, add the bottom-most applicable card from the discard pile to your hand.
【Rare Candy】
Prioritize Duskull.
However, if Dreepy has Fire and Psychic Energy attached and you have Dragapult ex in hand, Dreepy is top priority.
Energy Priority
Prioritize attaching Energy to Dragapult ex, then Drakloak, then Dreepy.
Attach from the Bench.
Ensure the attached Energy does not become Fire-Fire or Psychic-Psychic.
When retreating an Active Pokémon to use a Bench Pokémon's attack, attach Energy to the Active Pokémon.
Supporter Priority
If you have Lillie’s Determination or Crispin in hand, use them.
If you have no Supporter in hand or only Boss’s Orders and the conditions for Boss’s Orders are not met, use Ultra Ball to get Meowth ex and use the Ability "Restart" to add a Supporter to your hand (Top Priority).
*Conditions for using Boss’s Orders → If you can knock out a Pokémon ex with "Phantom Dive," or if you can knock out 2 or more Pokémon with "Phantom Dive," or if you have only 1 Prize card remaining.
【Supporter Priority for Meowth ex Search】
Basically, get Lillie’s Determination.
However:
If Dragapult ex is out but lacks the Energy for "Phantom Dive" → Crispin is top priority.
Prioritize Dreepy, Drakloak, or Dragapult ex for Crispin's Energy attachment.
Ensure the attached Energy does not become Fire-Fire or Psychic-Psychic.
If you can knock out a Pokémon ex with "Phantom Dive," or knock out 2 or more Pokémon, or have 1 Prize card left → Boss’s Orders is top priority.
For Boss’s Orders, target a Pokémon with no damage counters and HP 200 or less (excluding Budew).
Cursed Bomb
Basically, use it as soon as you evolve into Dusknoir.
Priority: Opponent's Pokémon ex is top priority. If there are multiple, prioritize the one with the highest Max HP.
If no Pokémon ex, target the opponent's Drakloak with Energy (prioritize the one with more Energy).
If none, target Dreepy with Energy (prioritize the one with more Energy).
If none, target Drakloak without Energy.
If none, target Dreepy without Energy.
If none, target Dusclops or Dusknoir.
However, if the Active Duskull or Dusclops cannot retreat → If a Bench Dragapult ex can use "Phantom Dive" or Budew is present, use "Cursed Bomb."
In that case, choose the target for damage counters randomly.
Retreating
If the Active Pokémon cannot use "Phantom Dive" → If there is a Dragapult ex on the Bench that can use "Phantom Dive" → Retreat the Active Pokémon (attach Energy if needed to retreat).
If the Active Pokémon cannot use "Phantom Dive" → If there is no Dragapult ex on the Bench that can use "Phantom Dive" → If the Active Pokémon cannot attack (assume Dreepy/Drakloak attacks are not used) → Attach Energy to the Active Pokémon, retreat, and bring out Budew → Use "Tickle Pollen" (if Budew is not on the Bench, use an Item to get it).
If the Active Pokémon is Duskull, evolve it and use "Cursed Bomb."
If it is Dusclops or Dusknoir, use "Cursed Bomb."
If the Active Spot becomes empty
【During Your Turn】
Bring out Budew.
If not available, bring out a Pokémon with Energy attached.
【During Opponent's Turn】
If an attack hasn't been used yet → Budew, then Dreepy, then Duskull.
If Knocked Out by an opponent's attack → Budew → Dragapult ex that can attack → Drakloak with Energy → Dreepy with Energy → Pokémon that can use "Cursed Bomb" → Duskull → Dreepy.
