Strategy:

Go first and start with either Solosis or Deoxy. The latter one consistutes the ideal starter in this deck. Use Battle Compressor to discard Bridgette and Teammates. Fill the bench some Solosis and evolve one of them into Duosion and another one into Reuniclus with Rare Candy next turn. Continue to use Link Fusion and retrieve lost attackers with Sacred Ash.

So, do the pokemon stack? Say that I was attacking with reuniclus, and I used it's attack with another reuniclus on the bench. Would it do damage for the previous evolutions, or just the pokemon on top?

Hi TheLunacticHypno,

Link Fusion only checks for the top evolution card. You will need a Solosis, a Duosion and a Reuniclus on the bench to hit for 190 damage. It is not the most competitive deck but it seems like a real fun league deck. Damage spread and item lock is an issue for sure.

This will Definitely be a fun deck to Play. I know that you 3 ultra ball, and 2 level ball, but would evodosa/Wally be helpful? You could Wally into Duosion for a quick start. Or just evosoda for consistency?

Hi TheLunaticHypno,

Thanks for the review. There are a four Level Ball and three Ultra Ball in the deck to search out Pokémon. In addition there is the tech Bridgette to fill the bench with solosis. Maxed out on Level Ball since the entire evolution line can be searched with it and it is more versatile that Evosoda. Not sure on Wally, love the card but the turn one Bridgette seems to be more important. In addition Duosion only has HP 60 and should be as easily knocked out as Solosis. For that reason I decided on rare Candies instead of wally as a means to speed up the evolution process. Still unsure on what can be done to cover the spreas damage weakness.
