How it plays
Build a big hand, then evolve into Alakazam, whose attack does more damage the more cards you hold. Kadabra draws cards as it evolves, which feeds Alakazam. Dusclops and Dusknoir place damage counters for a second way to take knockouts, which helps finish big Pokemon ex. The low Energy count means the deck rarely stalls on attachments.
Cheap to build, but harder to play well. Hand size and Rare Candy timing take practice.
