  57 This is a Supporter‐heavy deck that leverages [Altaria
  58   (EVS 106)][EVS-106] and [Kingdra (LOR 37)][LOR-37] to apply constant
  59   pressure on the opponent team.
  60 [Seismitoad (OBF 52)][OBF-52] is strong against the Fire‐type decks
  61   currently prevalant in the meta and has a tendency to trick the
  62   opponent into making faults.
  63 [Mimikyu (PAL 97)][PAL-97] is a good counter to many _ex_‐ and
  64   _V_‐heavy decks and [Radiant Alakazam (SIT 59)][SIT-59] pairs well
  65   with [Toy Catcher][EVS-163] to challenge Basic pokémon that are
  66   sitting on the bench before they get the chance to evolve.
  67 [Thorton][LOR-167] provides an escape route for Basic pokémon into
  68   [Mimikyu (PAL 97)][PAL-97] when under pressure from pokémon _V_, can
  69   bring [Radiant Alakazam (SIT 59)][SIT-59] back from the dead, and can
  70   be used to quickly ramp up an evolved [Seismitoad (OBF 52)][OBF-52]
  71   in a single turn.
  72 It is equally useful with [Lumineon _V_ (CRZ GG39)][CRZ-GG39] (either
  73   to escape to a card with lower Prize cost, or to pull a quick Aqua
  74   Return out of nowhere), and to ramp up a [Stoutland _V_
  75   (CRZ 116)][CRZ-116] using a Basic pokémon with less risk.
  76 [Irida][ASR-147] is the core of the deck, allowing quick access to any
  77   Item card to satisfy the current turn’s needs; with an Evolution card
  78   and a [Rare Candy][SVI-191], it can evolve a sitting Basic Pokémon to
  79   Stage 2 in a single turn; alternatively, it can call up an Item card
  80   for acquiring Energy or a non·Water‐type pokémon as well as
  81   [Lumineon _V_ (CRZ GG39)][CRZ-GG39] for requesting another Supporter
  82   card on the following turn.
  83
  84 This deck began as something I quickly cobbled together from the few
  85   cards I had in T·C·G·L which were still acceptable in Standard and
  86   which turned out to be surprisingly strong.
  87 Earlier versions of the deck included [Empoleon (BRS 37)][BRS-37], but
  88   its attack and ability were covered just as well by [Kingdra
  89   (LOR 37)][LOR-37], [Radiant Alakazam (SIT 59)][SIT-59], and [Toy
  90   Catcher][EVS-163] in most cases.
  91 I also tried using [Kingdra (BST 33)][BST-33] in addition to [Kingdra
  92   (LOR 37)][LOR-37] for a time, but [Seismitoad (OBF 52)][OBF-52]
  93   turned out to be better in most cases.
  94 [Altaria (EVS 106)][EVS-106] and [Stoutland _V_ (CRZ 116)][CRZ-116]
  95   were late additions; the former let me lean less on [Lumineon _V_
  96   (CRZ GG39)][CRZ-GG39] for acquiring Supporter cards and has a useful
  97   zero retreat cost.

 139 ##### Notes
 140
 141 + “slow” as it dropped [battle vip pass][FST-225]
 142 + [151 ratatta][MEW-19] is a fun card but it is very easy to boss
 143     target or bench snipe and difficult to set up effectively on an
 144     already slow deck
 145 + [bibarel][BRS-121] alone is not effective draw suppurrt
 146 + [iono][PAL-185] was rarely useful in this deck
 147 + the only thing this deck consistently eradicated was my will to live
