The idea is to use Froslass/Glalie early. Glalie MT is a 3hko for Gardevoir normally: 60-20=40x2=80= 10 short. If they use DRE then it’s even harder. His attack can also stop the opponent from using trainers. This can be crucial when you Beach/Wager, to prevent the opponent from coming back. Locking a Beach in play and blocking trainers for a turn means they have to Tauros your gym, or do something else. Froslass is the true early bread and butter. Doing 40/sleep and 10 to Gardevoir’s bench can be really hurtful. Once you start placing 10 damage everywhere your late-game Starmies can be really hurtful. Doing 50 to anything with a power or body, or bringing itself back to the hand. Ideally, you hit for 50, they smack you, then you bring yourself up and bring something up (like another Starmie, maybe =P) and repeat the process. Since you snipe, you simply need to make sure that Gardevoir's benched would be the Bring Down targets, and not your Staryus. Against Magmortar you can do 60 and return to the hand- forcing them to do 80 or waste an attack.
The trainers are a bit odd. Energy Patch is a form of pseudo-energy acceleration. Considering Starmie attacks for 1 energy of either type, and that Froslass has cheap attacks, and using 6 of each energy, you can really abuse Crystal Beach and Energy Patch. Cynthia’s Plan is to discount the loss of dying. With 80-90hp for my attackers, I will be dying often and using suicides. This stops the opponent’s scramble usage (along with Crystal Beach). This also allows me to draw 8 cards with Cynthia’s. And if I did take a prize- I simply hand refresh and draw up with Claydol. Buck’s Training is a nice, standard draw card that Gardevoir cannot use. Doing an extra 10 is also especially nice when I do so little damage. It provides a form of strength charm which I didn’t have room for.
The energy is self-explanatory. With Holon WP you should prevent Banette’s first attack, and get free retreat for quite a few of your pokemon. I was thinking of maybe going 7/5 water/psychic for energy, or maybe dropping a Holon WP for another water.
What do you guys think?
Should I go more T2?
