Trying to cram a DCE or two in here.

Strategy: Setting up a Ripple Swell is the main objective. It's built around just the Meteor Blast Arceus, because he is, IMO, the best LV. X Arceus.

I really think Psychic Bolt Arceus LV.X is better because it is a guaranteed 100 damage. I hate doing only 50 if two different energy types are required. Dual Ball requires coin flips to get basics. I would recommend running Great Balls instead since they always get you one basic and put it on your bench. Since you ant to use Ripple Swell but don't have Claydol in there, I'd recommend running a few Professor Oak's New Theory to refresh your hand. You also should find room for an evolved Pokemon in your deck because otherwise Mewtwo LV.X shuts you down.

Here's the thing. The Psychic Bolt one takes two turns to charge up, so you are really only doing like 33 damage a turn. No matter what the coin result is on the Meteor Blast one, it always does more over the set of turns.

Anyway, the Grass and Fire Arceus outclass the Psychic and Electric one anyway. Fire does more damage than Psychic (even though it doesn't leave the status condition. But It's not permanent.) and Grass does basically the same thing as Electric, but has heal attached. You need to think about the basics you focus on too.

Anyway, I agree on Dual Ball > Great Ball, and yes, I do usually end up only placing only like 3-4 energy not the total 6 =/

Spoiler Alert! (No Jk.)

This changed my viewpoint on Arceus. The strategy is to get all Arceus out, Ripple Swell, Play down a Lucario GL, play Ultimate Zone to move energies, level up the Omnicent Arceus on the Arceus that hits the weakness of your opponent. Use Fire Arceus's attack for 160 damage. Water Arceus's Attack for getting past Mewtwo X. Once you get set-up it's almost fool-proof. It's the best way to play Arceus, cuz 50-100 damage per turn aint cutting it.

Instead of rainbow energys use multi energys
