Hoopa ex Mega Absol ex Deck DNA
Copies are allocated with a largest-remainder calculation from aggregate copies per deck and capped at two per card. Inclusion percentages and matchup results remain visible below so you can see where lists disagree.
Across the sample, Hoopa ex, Deceptive Needle, Cyrus, Professor's Research, and Copycat form the stable core: each appeared in at least 75% of tracked Hoopa ex Mega Absol ex lists. Start with these slots when reproducing the archetype.

Matchups ordered by sample size. The range is a 95% Wilson interval, which prevents tiny samples from looking more certain than they are.
