I’ve been testing this list to some success and I wanted to share to gather feedback. I think Meowscarada has a lot of potential but the low amount of options for unconditional power swings is a bit of a drag. Pheromosa has been very helpful to open up Cyrus plays beyond Flower Trick, I believe both Leaf Capes are mandatory over playing other tools or even Item cards. I’ve found more success without healing cards over with healing cards personally. I did not find it beneficial to run double Meowscarada ex over a 1:1 split with baby Meowscarada.

I believe the weakest cards in the deck are Floragato and Mesagoza but I can’t really find any better solutions. Chingling to turn off Items (Lucky Ice Pop) sounds good on paper but did not feel impactful due to Meowscarada’s lower raw power, and it further dilutes the Poké Ball pool. Mesagoza is a gamble but it feels like a necessary inclusion to grab another advancement piece if Copycat deep drawing doesn’t do the trick. I prefer it over May because it can at least be dumped from the hand to net more from a Copycat. I’ve had success with double Cyrus so I’m not sure if it would be beneficial to consider Sabrina as another switch method, or even Guzma with how prevalent tools feel.

Thank you for any opinions or insight you can offer.
