I touched on it earlier, but Cross Switcher is a crucial element to this deck. I often found that I needed multiple Choice Belt in many games and couldn’t find space to include Big Charm.

The other sacrifice I had to make with this deck list was including zero copies of Big Charm and going for two Choice Belt instead. Usually, you will use Trinity Nova to take the Fire Energy out of your deck, then either retreat it off the Arceus VSTAR or put them back into your hand with Cheren’s Care. I also found myself constantly using Melony to accelerate Energy to my Arceus VSTAR if I didn’t have an Energy attachment on turn one, which is why I included four Water Energy and two Fire Energy. You will never attack with Radiant Charizard in the early game, so Fire Energy is often unnecessary in the early game. While the Energy line looks weird, it ended up being the one that works. However, I still needed to include a counter Stadium, so Magma Basin ended up being the best fit for that role as it also helps you power up your Radiant Charizard quicker! While it seems natural to include Path in an Arceus VSTAR deck, I found that it was unsustainable with how reliant you are on the Excited Heart ability of Radiant Charizard. With Zapdos PGO, Paralyzing Bolt does an extra 10 damage, pushing it to 60. While they obviously shine in the Palkia VSTAR matchup, the Vikavolt V is also very influential against Mew VMAX. However, the benefit of the Lightning types cannot be understated. Having Energy Search instead of Capacious Bucket makes it significantly harder to chain uses of Concealed Cards with this deck because you tend to run out of Energy very quickly. The splash of Lightning doesn’t come without a cost however, as you must cut your four Capacious Buckets for four copies of Energy Search. You have Raikou V to take a one-hit knockout on the Palkia VSTAR out of nowhere with Melony as well as Vikavolt V to stall for time. The solution to this problem was to start including several Lightning-type attackers. In addition, Cross Switcher has become standard in Palkia VSTAR decks, bypassing Diancie ASR completely. Because Palkia VSTAR / Inteleon is easily able to function on a low bench, just relying on using your own Palkia VSTAR in that matchup has become too unreliable.
