DECK HINTS AND TIPS
ASTRAL RADIANCE OH, HONEY…
Put on your best protective suit and gather up as many Sweet Honey cards as you can! For a single Energy, Vespiquen’s Honey Rush attack can slather on up to 240 damage—that’s 60 lip-smacking damage per Sweet Honey revealed! For extra help with this honeycombo, consider employing Kamado. This Supporter allows you to choose a card in your hand (in this case, a delightful Sweet Honey), discard the rest, and draw 4 new cards!
ASTRAL RADIANCE DARK POWERS AT WORK
Darkrai returns with new brilliance as a Pokémon VSTAR with the powerful Dark Pulse attack, which does 30 damage plus an additional 30 for each Energy attached to all your Pokémon. Use Ultra Ball to discard Energy cards, and then use Dark Patch to instantly accelerate them back into play! Darkrai’s VSTAR Power, Star Abyss, lets you go on a “junk hunt” for any 2 Item cards in your discard pile, giving you a perfect opportunity to reuse key Item cards such as Ultra Ball or Dark Patch to repeat the strategy. This is one powerful combo you don’t want to sleep on!
MILK RUN
Hisuian Lilligant, Miltank, and Hisuian Sneasler combine forces to take on powerful Pokémon V! Hisuian Lilligant’s Twister Lutz lets you pull it off by switching to the Bench after doing 20 damage to all of your opponent’s Pokémon. Then, Miltank tags into the Active Spot to prevent all damage done to it by Pokémon V! After your opponent’s strongest Pokémon VSTAR fails to break through Miltank’s Miracle Body Ability, freely retreat and bring back your Hisuian Lilligant with the help of Hisuian Sneasler, letting you start from the top!
