*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}}''', '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Computer Search|71}}''', '''{{TCG|Base Set|Item Finder|74}}''', and '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}''' - Provides for the deck's draw and search needs, allowing the player to quickly setup.  The usage of Bill was hotly debated, with the side in favor of it pointing out it made the deck faster and more consistent, while the side opposed preferred space for additional options and felt it both fast and consistent enough already.  Item Finder was also often important late game, recycling a useful Trainer that had already been used several times or was discarded for other card effects.

*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}''' - Controlling the opponent's Active could be used to stall for time, but it was mostly used to facilitate key KO's (preferably OHKO's) that would not only earn a Prize but weaken the opponent's own setup.

*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Scoop Up|78}}''' and '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Switch|95}}''' - These cards were used to deal with damage and the effects of attacks (including what we now call Special Conditions).  As Haymaker Pokémon mostly attacked using their single Energy options and the deck included Scyther with its free Retreat Cost, there was either no or little drawback to using these two.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Scoop Up|78}}''' - This card was used to deal with damage and the effects of attacks (including what we now call Special Conditions).  Though you had to discard the Energy currently attached to the Pokémon in question, judicious use of single Energy attacks, �Scyther (with its free Retreat Cost), and/or Super Energy Removal could reduce or even eliminate this drawback.
