The synergy between {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Crobat|3}} and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}} was admittedly limited, but they complimented each other in that they were non-{{TCG|Pokémon-ex|ex}} Pokémon that were capable of attacking for only one or two {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}}. Crobat's ''Flutter Trick'' attack combined well with the disruption caused by {{TCG|Desert Shaman}}. Desert Shaman could also make it difficult for an opponent to find the resources necessary to get a {{TCG|Poison|Poisoned}} Pokémon out of the active position, increasing the effectiveness of Crobat's second attack, ''Triple Poison''. Gorebyss provided another inexpensive attacker, and one that was particularly effective against {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}-based decks (widely considered to be the strongest attacker of the era). | |||

* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Crobat|3}}''' - | * '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Crobat|3}}''' - Crobat was one of the deck's two primary attackers, capable of attacking for only one or two Energy. | ||
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}}''' - | * '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}}''' - Gorebyss served as the deck's other primary attacker, and served as a hard counter to {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}. | ||
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}''' - Dunsparce was the deck's ideal starter Pokémon. With its ''Strike and Run'' attack, Dunsparce could instantly give the player a strong setup; most decks of the time relied on Dunsparce early in the game. | * '''{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}''' - Dunsparce was the deck's ideal starter Pokémon.

* '''{{TCG|Desert Shaman}}''' - | * '''{{TCG|Desert Shaman}}''' - Desert Shaman provided a means for CroByss to downsize the opponent's hand, which was particularly effective in combination with either of Crobat's attacks. Because CroByss was a quick deck that often set up before its opponent, a Desert Shaman early in the game was typically much more disastrous for an opponent than for the Crobyss player. | ||
* '''{{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}}''' - | * '''{{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}}''' - Double Rainbow Energy provided a way to power up either Crobat's ''Triple Poison'' or Gorebyss's ''Mystic Water'' in only one turn. | ||
