How to Beat it
The beginner deck is fairly easy to beat since it consists of a random assortment of Pokémon with no synergy, making it vulnerable to almost any deck. However, due to the mission requirements.
We prefer to run a decent Darkness deck with a few more basics to ensure we can meet the goal of putting 3 Basic Pokémon into play like shown below.

How to Beat it
The Intermediate deck is also quite easy with just tankier Pokémon so the only thing we need to worry is the making our opponent's Pokémon Asleep.
The deck below can reliably help you make your opponent asleep 1 time while also knocking out with a darkness-type Pokemon. You can also use A1-125 or A1a-036 if you're missing some of the cards.

How to Beat it
The advanced deck provides a bit of a challenge since they’re much tankier, and we can only use cards with a rarity of 3 ♦♦♦ or below while also not letting the opponent get any points.
The best way to complete the tasks is by doing them over multiple tries instead of in one go, as it’s difficult to finish all the tasks in a single game. The deck I'm presenting is sturdy enough to not let any of your Pokémon knocked out especially A1-177. The strategy is to tank with A1-177 and keep reusing it with A1-222 making it's health full again while A1-165 will be your other source of damage. Just retreat if your Pokémon is low enough and switch between your Pokémon.

How to Beat it
The expert deck is the most difficult one since they can constantly heal PROMO-037 with A1-132 making it much harder to take down.
Like in the previous challenge, you will do them over multiple tries instead of in one go. You can run the same deck like the one in advanced but it might prove to be a challenge because of the heals so I recommend running A1a-055 instead so you have more damage to deal. It is also faster than to rely on A1-165 so you can win by turn 12. Using the same strategy above, we tank with A1-177 and use A1a-055 to finish their Pokémon.
