Since its arrival in Pokémon TCG Pocket, the Alcremie card from the Eevee Grove (A3b) set has become one of the most talked about due to its unbelievable offensive potential.
Its exclusive attack, Extreme Sweetness, deals 40 damage points for each time any other Pokémon on your team has used Sweet Relay during the match. With just six uses, the damage rises to 240, enough to knock out any creature in the game in one hit, even the most resilient ones.
How to build the strategy: required cards and key mechanics
To execute this strategy, you first need Milcery, the pre-evolution of Alcremie, and other Pokémon that also have the Sweet Relay attack, such as:
Swirlix and Slurpuff
Vanillite and Vanillish
Applin and Appletun
The idea is simple but powerful: use Sweet Relay repeatedly until you reach a high activation count, then bring out Alcremie as a last resort. Once in play, its Extreme Sweetness can sweep everything, even in seemingly lost situations.

The card can be obtained randomly in A3b packs or purchased for 70 pack-opening points. Milcery, its base evolution, costs 35.
Loan deck: an accessible base for beginners
One advantage is that the game offers a loan deck focused on Alcremie when you obtain a copy of the card. Although it isn't competitive at the highest level, it allows you to become familiar with the tactic and then improve it. Some cards included are:
Vanillite x2
Appletun x2
Swirlix x2
Slurpuff x1
Milcery x2
Alcremie x1
Speed X, Poké Ball, and Professor Oak x2 each
