I just went to a locals and had a fun time, but my head is stuck in something. One regular adversary I couldn't beat was a Mega Lucario player, using Mega Lopunny and Crushing Hammer's.
I tried going first to outspeed how fast he built his Mega Lucario, but I couldn't catch up with him. I always felt like I was one step behind him while making my plays.
For reference the most common decks in my local shop atm are Mega Lucario (hammer/lopunny), Team Rocket's Mewtwo, Mega Excadrill, Festival Lead, Ogerpon box and Alakazam. (Yes I'm the only Dragapult player there at the moment.)
Could I get some tips to play this matchup? Still trying to learn decks and strategies, so any help is appreciated!
