{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}} was the deck's ideal starter Pokémon, as was the case with most archetypes from DragTrode's era.  Dunsparce's ''Strike and Run'' attack allowed the player to search his or her deck for three Basic Pokémon and place them onto the bench.  Then, he or she could elect to shuffle Dunsparce into the deck.  Because DragTrode required multiple evolutions to function optimally, it was important to get as many Basic Pokémon as possible into play early.  By using Dunsparce in combination with {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporters}} such as {{TCG|Celio's Network}}, the player aimed to get {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Pidgeot|10}} and {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Dragonair|31}} into play quickly.  Pidgeot's ''Quick Search'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} allowed the user to add any card from the deck to his or her hand, once per turn.  Dark Dragonair provided a similar (but much weaker) effect; the card chosen was limited to Evolution cards.  Using ''Quick Search'' and ''Evolutionary Light'', the DragTrode player aimed to get as many {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Dragonite|15}} and {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Electrode|4}} into play as possible.
