I recently went on my first in person event and bought myself the league battle deck and the trainers toolkit.

long story short i had the issue where i dident have enough cards or abilities to pull the cards i needed to get a good setup, and i also had a problem with evolving to my Pidgeot EX.

I would also appreciate some card suggestions mainly from the scarlet and voilet area sets whitch i might have lying around.

    What trouble did you specifically have with evolving into Pidgeot ex? Was it because crucial cards were prized, or because getting the proper combination of cards is a bit of a problem?

    Either way, maybe you need a bit more draw support. To do this, I'll suggest an expansion to consider. I know it's SwSh era, but you might benefit in Brilliant Stars. Specifically, if you pull Bidoof/Bibarel from it as an alternate source of drawing into what you need (until you get Pidgeot online, that is). Lumineon V is also in the expansion, which helps a lot with getting any Supporter you want. Lastly, Manaphy is is this expansion if you have a problem with opponents attacking your Bench (doesn't solve Dragapult ex matchups though).
