{{card:link1}} {{card:link2}} is a hyper-fast draw and pressure build that floods the board early. {{card:link1}}’s ability draws two cards when you evolve it, making it function like an extra {{card:link3}} and fueling your setup. {{card:link2}} takes advantage of this speed by applying consistent 20 damage pings to bench threats via Water Shuriken. {{card:link4}} acts as a late-game closer, cleaning up higher-HP threats after they’ve been whittled down. The deck runs mixed Water and Psychic energy to support both attackers and ensure flexibility

Draw through most of your deck in the first few turns through evolving {{card:link1}} and {{card:link5}}, set up {{card:link2}} quickly to apply pings, and use {{card:link4}} to finish weakened or high-HP targets.

Although {{card:link4}} offers higher damage potential, the deck isn’t built around making it the main plan. The real goal is to ensure you get your setup rolling fast, using {{card:link1}} for draw and {{card:link2}} for consistent pressure.

When to Use {{card:link4}}

Running only Psychic Energy has its advantages since you can consistently fuel {{card:link4}} and always have {{card:link1}} ready to attack. Mixing Water and Psychic Energy is generally safer, giving you flexibility to stall for time with {{card:link2}} while keeping fallback options open in case your main plan doesn’t come together immediately.

Playing only Psychic energy

Since hand disruption tools like {{card:link10}}, {{card:link11}}, and {{card:link22}} are common in the meta, it's important to prepare for them strategically. Do note that if you are playing around hand disruptors, you are now vulnerable to Sabrina so assess whether what you want to trade off.

Playing Around Hand Disruptions 

{{card:link10}} is often played early—usually when you have 4 or more cards in hand. To minimize its impact.

Similar logic applies here, though {{card:link11}} often becomes more threatening later in the game, especially if you're ahead on points.
