MAIN IDEA
Please keep in mind that this is a post-rotation deck. Start with Hop’s Zacian ex. Make sure to have Beldum and Hop’s Snorlax on the bench on the first turn. Attack with Close Cleave and place the bench damage on a Pokémon that needs to have 30 less to be knocked out with Hop’s Cramorant. Next turn, evolve Beldum into Metang to accelerate to Hop’s Pokémon. If Hop’s Zacian ex survives the first turn it should be able to take two to three prizes on its own. Once the opponent took two prize cards weave in Hop’s Cramorant to take one to two prize cards at a low cost and set the opponent on an uneven prize count. Draw the final two prizes with either a second Hop's Zacian ex, or Hop's Snorlax ex to finish the match in four to five turns at most.
