No combination of Pokémon, Trainers, and Energy cards is perfect, and generally you'll have to reconfigure your deck before each gym to serve as a hard-counter to its core strategy. Like in the main series games, gyms use decks themed around specific types, but you shouldn't expect all the same type matchups from the games to work here. Pokemon types have been reshuffled to fit into six broader categories for the sake of simplicity - for instance, all flying-types in from the games are now normal-types with fighting resistances, so an all-fighting team will get wiped pretty easily by the normal gym.

The cards for Victini and Keldeo depict them in beautiful scenery with a fully designed background. Victini comes as a Fire-type with 70 HP, which is pretty average. Energy Assist can be pretty good at building up a sweeper in your bench since you are allowed to attach energy cards to them after flipping a coin and landing on heads. Victory Ball is Victini's only attack. It deals 50 damage which is very useful but you must discard one energy afterwards. Be sure to stack your deck with enough Fire-type energy cards to keep Victini in the battle. Keldeo is a Water-type and has 90 HP.
