Nymphia ex - The move Magical Charm deals 160 damage to the opponent, and during the opponent's next turn, attacks used by the Defending Pokémon do -100 damage. The move Angelite allows you to choose 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and shuffle them and all cards attached to them into their deck! By targeting Pokémon with abilities that have powerful effects while on the bench, you can greatly disrupt your opponent's tactics.

Soublades ex - With the move Abyssal Blaze, the more Energy cards you have in your discard pile, the more damage your opponent receives. The move Amethyst Rage requires you to discard all Energy from this Pokémon, and in exchange, it will deal 280 damage to your opponent. The more energy you discard with the move Amethyst Rage, the more damage you deal with the move Abyssal Blaze, so you can continue to deal large amounts of damage to your opponent.
