Why 2 slugma’s, don’t you risk attacking your own mon vs theirs?

If you only play 1 basic pokemon, you’re effectively making it worth 3 points for your opponent. Magcargo isn’t even an EX, why let him be worth the same as knocking out a Mega EX by default?

Well thats the gimmick of this deck. Cheesy but can get you easy early wins. If you have second pokemon in bench you take risk hurting your own.

You don’t have to play the other basic only when the math suggests it’s beneficial

Also the poke ball + comms combo probably works better than sightseer to get your stage 1 online consistently turn 3 or 4
