Will there be a non-V mode? I'm new and V-cards aren't fun.

@TechHog I said, I just threw the deck together to win. I don't like it and didn't put any thought into it, really. I'm not really sure of the meta-technical differences between the balls, but I just didn't want one with a downside, and that's the great ball.
how am I slowing it down? there are lots of cards to draw others in there, and I always have the option to discard them too, and I can usually power up blissey till it one-shots things in one turn... I don't get how pulling out an enemy lugia-v and downing it by turn 3 is slow, unless you mean that it can become a lugia-v-max by turn 2, but that's part of my contention here, that the v-cards are just pokemon but... better. like, why use something that goes from 60hp to 100hp to 140hp, with an attack of 120, when you can just put out something with 220 attack and 240hp before the first turn?

@Nubnubbud great ball downside is inconsistency, you won't always hit a pokémon, and when you find one, it won't be the pokemon you need every time. If anything, i say that's a worse downside than quick ball or ultra ball, since discarding energy plays really well with blissey's attack, and if you think your hand is never big enough to use them, you could try adding more ways to draw cards, like extra copies of research or some copies of marnie.
And your feeling of "evolution should be more important in the game instead of just playing big basics" is something a decent amount of the player base shares, funny enough i think is more common to hear that from veterans than from newer players.
Thankfully for you, the new scarlet and violet series (which starts with the first set at the end of march) is a lot more focus in evolving and come backs, rather than the agressiveness of basic pokemon and the pseudo-stage 1's Vstars and Vmaxes. If you like the game but don't enjoy the current deck's you're facing, maybe you could try the game again later once Scarlet and Violet releases.
Also, important to mention, once Scarlet and Violet releases, we will have a rotation, losing every card from the first 4 sets of sword and shield, including cards like Zacian V, Zamazenta V, and a lot of cards currently played in the Blissey V decks and Lugia V decks you seem to face multiple times, so maybe you'll find the game a lot more enjoyable once that happens.
Pokémon Is a really enjoyable game to play and i hope the negative responses you've receive doesn't make you think otherwise. We are not trying to stop you from playing the game the way you want or using the cards you think are better, just trying to guide you away from your misconceptions of how the game really is, because the game is going to be really different once you leave the lower tiers of the ladder and you start playing against experience players.

@Nubnubbud A lot of people aren't happy with the meta, but that's just how the game is. You'll have to just stick to casual and play with friends if you want a slower game without the meta.
And yes, attacking on turn 3 is slow. You have to be really new to not see that getting nowhere until turn 3 is very slow. An actual Lugia deck would be down to 2 prizes by that point, while you're struggling to get one KO.
Also, you are playing no Ultra Ball or Quick Ball, but you're playing a single Great Ball... for some reason. Any wins you had were pure luck.

And the downside to Great Ball is that you only get to look at a few cards. Being able to search the entire deck is worth a discard or two. If you can't see that you're way too new to TCGs.
