How to win the game without a single attack. Beats stuff PoryDonk doesn't.

Pokemon: 20
4 Sableye (Stormfront)
1 Squirtle (Secret Wonders)
2 Wartortle (Unleashed)
2 Blastoise ex
4 Eevee (Majestic Dawn)
1 Leafeon (Rising Rivals)
1 Espeon (Aquaplois)
2 Jolteon ex
2 Shuckle (Promo)
1 Azelf (Mysterious Treasures)

Trainers: 37
4 Computer Search
4 Erika
4 Misty's Wrath
4 Professor Oak
2 Giant Stump
3 Broken time-space
4 Item Finder
2 Nightly Garbage Run
1 Pokemon Retriever
1 Luxury Ball
1 Swoop Teleporter
3 Scoop Up
4 Mr Fuji

Energy: 3
3 Water energy

1) Open with Sableye to go first, or Spiritomb to allow the strategy to work turn two instead.
2) Use the draw-search engine to get Broken time-space, Squirtle, two Eevee and Shuckle in play.
3) Use Broken time-space to get Leafeon, Shuckle, Espeon and Blastoise ex on your bench.
4) Use a single water energy to retreat (or play a Scoop Up) and make Leafeon active.
5) Use Blastoise ex to attach a single water energy to Shuckle and draw a card.
6) Use Espeon to return the energy to your hand.
7) Repeat steps 4 and 5 until your have drawn your entire deck.
8) Bench a third Eevee.
9) Evolve Eevee into Jolteon ex to spread damage.
10) If you opened with Sableye, you will now have 6 pokemon in play. Play Giant Stump, discard two pokemon evolved from Eevee (priority to Jolteon ex, then Leafeon, leave Espeon).
11) Use Nightly Garbage Run to recover two Eevee and Jolteon ex. At this point, via Shuckle combo and draw cards in your hand it is assumed anything in the deck can be drawn into immediately.
12) Play Swoop Teleporter to switch Sableye for Eevee if a Sableye is in play.
13) Play Broken time-space.
14) Repeat steps 9 to 13, using Item Finder as required until you are out of Giant Stump.
15) Scoop Up your active Leafeon.
16) Use Blastoise ex to attach a single water energy card to a Jolteon ex.
17) Use Espeon's poke-power to return the energy.
18) Repeat steps 16 and 17 until Jolteon ex is knocked out.
19) Use Nightly Garbage Run as before.
20) Repeat steps 16 and 17 for another Jolteon ex and Espeon. This allows the most efficient recycling of Jolteon ex's poke-power.
21) Iterate Scoop Up and Mr Fuji as much as possible to rack up damage until all of your opponents' Pokemon have been knocked out.

Note that Shuckle has 60HP, so if you are missing the Leafeon, you can still use the Blastoise ex and Espeon combo to draw 5 cards. If you draw into the other Shuckle or Retriever, let the first be knocked out for another draw, then draw another 5.

The basics ratio 4:8 means you start with Sableye 49% of the time and 19% of opening hands are mulligans.

Your opponent will take 5 prizes, but you win on the first turn, so it doesn't matter. You can easily hit 10 Jolteon ex drops using the strategy described, you lose too many Scoop Ups through Misty's Wrath.
 
Broken Time space can no longer let you evolve a basic you just played. You can evolve on turn 1 in any way except if the pokemon lets you ex: abra mt.
