Love Venusaur EX, probably my favorite cards of the 3 expansions right now, but I feel like adding another evolution line, despite being beneficial to the deck, is just too slow, and has too much potential to be a dead card(s) in the opening hand. The only time it works is when you open with both Petilil and Bulbasaur in the opening hand. Any other variation it's just too slow against the meta monsters like Pikachu EX, which are fully set up and ready to sweep by their second or third turn. I replaced the 4 cards (Liligant line) with 2 Meowth and 2 more trainers, and it wasn't better per se, but it made the deck far more consistent.
I feel the same way Venusaur EX feels so nice when you get him out compared to any other card. I kind of just accepted that if I get a bad hand i'm going to lose to decks like Pikachu/Mewtwo if they get a really good hand. I like the meowth Idea but everytime i'd use him i'd just get one shot and not be able to fully evolve or stack enough energy. I think there multiple good builds out there and probably ones people haven't found yet. Praying the gen 2 packs somehow give some good support to this deck
Try putting caterpie (these thing can help you pull stage 1 & stage 2 grass pokemon) I use 1 line, liligant 1 line. Execute ex 1 line. Bulbasaur 1 caterpie 4 basic, 2 stage 1, 1 stage 3 The play are getting stage 1 liligant or execute ex as fast as possible and slowly buildup for venuasaur ex

I use
1 line, liligant
1 line. Execute ex
1 line. Bulbasaur
1 caterpie
4 basic, 2 stage 1, 1 stage 3
The play are getting stage 1 liligant or execute ex as fast as possible and slowly buildup for venuasaur ex
Bro this makes exactly zero sense
