Limits to cards in decks?

Is there no limit to the number of Pokémon V and Ice Pops allowed in a deck?

I battled someone whose entire deck appeared to exclusively be Pokémon V and these healing items which basically allowed them to fully heal every single turn and keep multiple heals in their hand (because the coin flipped heads 80% of the time).

Honestly, this felt extremely unfair and incredibly overpowered. Might as well have no other cards.

You are limited to four of any card in a deck, excluding basic energy, and other cards that specify on them that you cannot play more than X (usually one), like radiant pokemon, ace specs, etc.

Sounds like you played me.

Besides basic energy you only get 4 of one kind of card.

I like Lucky pops. "if" you can flip heads you get to use it over and over. That's a big "if"

What I’m saying is I’m surprised there isn’t a limit for how many V cards you have given how powerful they are and they are basic Pokémon. In other words, so you can’t just be playing with a variety of 30 V Pokémon.

The downside is supposed to just be that they give up extra prizes. The game is designed around them though and meta decks are intended to be based around them with some regular Pokemon as support.

it's high risk high reward, in my opinion. running exclusively v mons means you can only get knocked out twice in a game before losing. And I feel like aside from the "meta" Vs most of them are actually pretty underwhelming. You'll probably notice that quite a few v-only decks effectively run like glass cannons, and the ones that don't will have a good number of heal cards.
