LuxPluff could be considered fully set up when the player had one or more {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Jumpluff|6}} on the field ready to attack, as well as one or more {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} on the bench for draw support and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL|9}} on the bench ready to level up. Ideally, the player would also have resources in hand to recover a Jumpluff, should one be knocked out, and get it back onto the field as quickly as possible. This setup could be achieved through the deck's numerous drawing and searching resources, such as {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}, and, once possible, {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}. {{TCG|Broken Time-Space}} greatly simplified the process of getting out Jumpluff and Claydol by allowing for rapid evolution, which could lead to a {{tt|donk|turn one win}} or an extremely fast setup. | LuxPluff could be considered fully set up when the player had one or more {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Jumpluff|6}} on the field ready to attack, as well as one or more {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} on the bench for draw support and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL|9}} on the bench ready to level up.

Although Jumpluff was the primary attacker and was generally used simply to knock out whatever Pokémon the opponent had active at a given time, Luxray GL LV.X made it possible to take easy prizes off weaker Pokémon on the opponent's bench. Both Jumpluff and Luxray GL LV.X had free retreat, and the latter could benefit from {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}'s effect, so alternating between them as needed was not difficult.

Often, when one of the LuxPluff player's Active Pokémon was knocked out, they would bring up a {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL|9}} to level up. Then, using Luxray GL LV.X's ''Bright Look'' Poké-Power, they would force one of the opponent's benched Pokémon active, retreat Luxray GL LV.X, and knock out the opponent's new active with Jumpluff. Luxray GL LV.X could also provide a strong attacker in a pinch. | ||

Although ''Thankfulness'' counteracted one of the deck's biggest downfalls in Jumpluff's frailness, Shaymin LV.X was difficult to get on the field and could be a detriment to a fast setup.
