Deck Adjustments & Alternatives:

Consider these substitutions: Fezandipiti ex (for increased card draw and bench targeting), Earthen Vessel (for easier Energy access), Moonlit Hill (for healing), and Brilliant Blender (discard Psychic Energies for stronger Gardevoir ex; remove Hero's Cape).

Post-Rotation Changes:

The loss of Kirlia's Refinement ability and Radiant Greninja impacts card cycling. The deck relies more on Trainer cards for this purpose. Manaphy's absence weakens bench protection. Lillie's Clefairy ex (from Journey Together) provides a significant advantage against Dragon-types.

Gardevoir ex Deck Strategy:

• Pokémon: Gardevoir ex's Psychic Embrace (attach Psychic Energies from the discard pile; inflicts 20 damage on the user). Drifloon's Balloon Blast (damage based on damage counters). Scream Tail (damage to opponent's Pokémon based on damage counters). Mew ex provides card draw and attack copying. Lillie's Clefairy ex doubles damage against Dragon types.

• Stadiums: Artazon (early game setup); Lively Stadium (boosts Drifloon/Scream Tail damage).

• Pokémon Tools: Increase Drifloon and Scream Tail HP (Hero's Cape, Bravery Charm, Ancient Booster Capsule).

• Items: Rare Candy (fast Gardevoir ex evolution); Ultra Ball (search for Pokémon); Night Stretcher (retrieve cards from discard); Buddy-Buddy Poffin (bench setup); Nest Ball (bench Pokémon); Super Rod (retrieve Pokémon).

• Supporters: Professor's Research (card draw); Arven (find Items/Tools); Tulip (retrieve Psychic Pokémon); Boss's Orders (switch opponent's active Pokémon).
