STRATEGY:
Start with any Pokémon other than Brute Bonnet. Make sure to have two Roaring Moon ex and Squawkabily ex on the battlefield on the first turn. Use Earth Vessel to search for Basic Darkness Energy and discard them. Accelerate the discarded energies to Roaring Moon ex with Dark Patch and Prof. Sada’s Vitality. Brute Bonnet is used to handle one-prize attackers and enable Roaring Moon ex to ohko all Basic Pokémon ex with his second attack. Morpeko is a free retreater and can also be used to attack when needed. He also combos well with Toxic Powder when you do not have access to another Ancient Booster Capsule for Roaring Moon ex.
