Pokemon: 16
Strategy: Evolve Sceptile through it's stage 1 (Grovyle) and get Shrine of Memories out there. By using Grovyle's agility with Ancient Trait Spectile, you're safe from both attacks and trainers. Fliptini is mandatory since agility is flippy, Mr Mime protects your bench so they can't snipe around your guys, Celebi does the same thing as Memory Shrine (though it's probably not needed), and the ability Sceptile provides some energy acceleration if needed.
There's 3 extra spots and a lot of cards which can fill those slots. Switching cards, more search cards, safeguard Pokemon to buy time, techs, and of course the Ace Spec of your choice (a lot of options for this deck). Though you could also adjust the count of certain cards if you think there are better choices.
