Darkrai ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when moving Energy synergizes perfectly with Dawn, facilitating Energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on this weakened opponent, dealing amplified damage.
This Darkrai ex/Weavile ex combination is currently dominant in the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta. Its rapid setup and aggressive damage output overwhelm decks requiring longer setup times.
Darkrai ex Koga Bounce
- Koffing (GA) x2
- Weezing x2
- Spiritomb
- Darkrai ex x2
- Professor's Research x2
- Poké Ball x2
- Potion
- Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
- Dawn x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Koga's Trap x2
A personal favorite reminiscent of the Genetic Apex era, this deck is more complex but highly effective. Weezing inflicts gradual poison damage, while Koga's Trap provides crucial resets. Dawn aids Pokémon repositioning, setting up Darkrai ex for devastating attacks after the opponent is weakened by poison.
Weezing and Spiritomb's low Energy requirements allow for consistent Energy allocation to Darkrai ex, maximizing damage output.
