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.

    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.
