Darkrai Ex's ability to deal an extra 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you move an Energy to it synergizes exceptionally well with Dawn, who facilitates Energy movement. This setup allows you to follow up with a devastating attack from Weavile Ex, which can capitalize on already damaged Pokemon.
The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is currently proving to be highly effective in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta-game. Its quick setup and aggressive playstyle make it a formidable choice against decks that require more time to establish their strategy.
Darkrai Ex Koga Bounce
- Koffing (GA) x2
- Weezing x2
- Spiritomb
- Darkrai Ex x2
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Potion
- Cyrus x2
- Dawn x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Koga x2
The Koga deck, a favorite from the Genetic Apex era, has been revitalized with this new archetype. While it can be challenging to master due to its complex mechanics, its strength lies in its versatility. The strategy involves dealing consistent chip damage with Weezing's poison over time, and using Koga to reset the board when necessary. Dawn aids in moving your Pokemon around, setting the stage for softening up opponents with poison before delivering a powerful blow with Darkrai Ex.
A key advantage of this deck is the low Energy requirement for Weezing and Spiritomb, allowing you to focus more Energy on Darkrai Ex for increased damage output.
