Start with any Basic Pokémon other than Ethan's Ho-oh ex. On the first turn make sure to have two to three Ethan's Slugma and one to two Ethan's Ho-oh ex on the battlefield. Next turn accelerate to Ethan's Slugma on the bench and evolve two Ethan's Slugma into Ethan's Magcargo. Make sure to have two Ethan's Magcargo out each turn and fuel the one on the bench while the active one acts as a free retreat aid. Knock out the defender with Lava Burst and make sure to have a replacement Slugma on the bench in advance.
