The ''Bibarel'' was centered on [[Bibarel (Brilliant Stars 121|Bibarel]]'s ''Industrious Incisors'' {{TCG|Ability}}. Once per turn, ''Industrious Incisors'' allowed a player to draw cards until they had five cards in their hand. Being a Stage 1 Pokemon, Bibarel was able to be set up fast, and had the advantage of not needing to discard a card from the player's hand, compared to cards like [[Cinccino (Sword and Shield 147)|Cinccino]]'s Make Do. The engine further got an upgrade with the release of the {{TCG|Crown Zenith}} expansion, which introduced [[Bidoof (Crown Zenith 111)|Bidoof]]. Bidoof's ability, ''Carefree Countenance'', allowed it to be protected from damage dealt while it was on the bench, preventing cards such as [[Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX (Battle Styles 88)|Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX]] and [[Radiant Greninja (Astral Radiance 46)|Radiant Greninja]] to Knock Out it for easy Prize Cards. | The ''Bibarel'' was centered on [[Bibarel (Brilliant Stars 121)|Bibarel]]'s ''Industrious Incisors'' {{TCG|Ability}}.

The ''Cosmic Power engine'' utilized {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}'s ''Cosmic Power'' Poké-Power to simply draw cards. ''Cosmic Power'' allows the player to put up to two cards from their hand on the bottom of their deck and draw cards until they have six in their hand. ''Cosmic Power'' is one of the simplest, yet most effective engines to date, yet it is not without its problems. Since Claydol sits on the Bench, it is vulnerable to being sniped by attacks such as {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}'s ''Dragon Rush'', at which point the Claydol player may be left without a way to reliably draw cards. | The ''Cosmic Power engine'' utilized {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}'s ''Cosmic Power'' Poké-Power to simply draw cards.
