The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex deck leverages the powerful synergy between its key cards. The standout is Dawn, a new Supporter card that revolutionizes energy management by allowing you to transfer an Energy from a Benched Pokemon to an Active one. This is crucial in Pokemon TCG Pocket, where energy allocation can make or break a game. When you move an Energy to Darkrai Ex, it can deal an additional 20 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokemon, setting up for devastating follow-up attacks from Weavile Ex, which excels at hitting already weakened foes. Murkrow and Honchkrow serve as reliable attackers while you prepare your main strategy.

Metal-type decks have had their ups and downs, but the introduction of Dialga Ex could signal a resurgence.
