'''Shuppet Donk''' also known as '''Shuppet Hit-and-Run''' is a {{TCG|deck archetype}} that uses Shuppet's ''Fade Out''. Initially, in the 2009-2010 format, after Shuppet would use ''Fade Out'', the player would send in {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Mr. Mime|30}} because of its {{TCG|Poké-Body}}, ''Airy Wall'', which let Mr. Mime not take any damage from Pokémon that didn't have three or more {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}} on it. This helped Shuppet to have a chance against low Energy and high damage output decks such as {{TCG|Gyarados archetype|Gyarados}} and {{TCG|LuxChomp}}.

Shuppet Donk's strategy is to attach {{TCG ID|Platinum|PlusPower|112}}s and {{TCG ID|Arceus|Expert Belt|87}} to Shuppet and use ''Fade Out'' for up to 90 damage. Then, Shuppet and all cards attached to it would go back to the player's hand. This style of play, or "hit-and-run", is a very effective method that literally prevents the opponent from Knocking Out the main battler. If the player had enough resources, the player could do up to 150 damage depending on their luck on coin flips and what cards they would get. However, the Shuppet deck only gets to its full potential if the player goes second. If the player goes first, that is nearly an auto-loss for Shuppet.
