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 increased damage.
This Darkrai ex/Weavile ex combination is currently highly effective in the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta, offering rapid deck buildup and overwhelming 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 equally powerful. Weezing inflicts gradual poison damage, while Koga's Trap resets the board when needed. Dawn aids Pokémon repositioning, setting up Darkrai ex for devastating attacks after weakening opponents with poison.
The low Energy cost of Weezing and Spiritomb allows for consistent Energy allocation to Darkrai ex, maximizing damage output.
