for anyone struggling to get a good start in Pokemon TCG right now in standard format, I recommend playing 4 Arven, 4 Nest Ball, and 2 Tech Mach Evolutions. If you are running any stage 2 pokemon, the tech machine evolution works like Boost Shake used to…so that you can put your stage 2 on the next round after putting the stage 1 on.
