Night March focused in discarding as many possible ''Night March'' Pokémon ({{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Joltik|26}}, {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Pumpkaboo|44}} and {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Lampent|42}}) in the first turns to maximize the damage output while still having one attacker in play and use these attacks with [[Double Colorless Energy]]. Because all attackers were single-prized Pokémon dealing high damage for one energy card, their low Hit Points were not a strict concern as the player should get [[prize card]]s faster than the opponent. By having {{e|Lightning}} and {{e|Psychic}} attackers, it was also favoured against Pokémon with these {{TCG|Weakness}}es.

To get a fast setup, many copies of {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Battle Compressor|92}}, {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} and {{TCG ID|Black & White|Professor Juniper|101}} were essencial in these decklists. {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Dimension Valley|93}} was also crucial so Pumpkaboo's attack would cost {{e}}{{e}}, not needing extra energy to attack. {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Empoleon|29}} and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Mew-EX|46}} were secondary attackers only during the 2014-2015 format to counter certain Pokémon and benefit from the ''Diving Draw'' {{TCG|Ability}}. Many notorious sinergizing cards were released in the 2015-2016 format, such as Puzzle of Time, {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Teammates|141}}, {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Hex Maniac|75}}, {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Fighting Fury Belt|99}} and as well ''Memories of Dawn'' Mew as a backup attacker. After this deck rotated out of the Standart format, Night March lost Hex Maniac and Puzzle of Time that have been then banned in the Expanded format and got {{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Marshadow-GX|80}} as a better backup attacker. | To get a fast setup, many copies of {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Battle Compressor|92}}, {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} and {{TCG ID|Black & White|Professor Juniper|101}} were essencial in these decklists. {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Dimension Valley|93}} was also crucial so Pumpkaboo's attack would cost {{e}}{{e}}, not needing extra energy to attack. {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Empoleon|29}} and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Mew-EX|46}} were secondary attackers only during the 2014-2015 format to counter certain Pokémon and benefit from the ''Diving Draw'' {{TCG|Ability}}.
