Pokémon TCG Pocket Best Darkrai ex Decks Darkrai ex/Weavile ex Darkrai ex Koga Bounce

Darkrai ex/Weavile ex

This deck utilizes:

  • Sneasel x2
  • Weavile ex x2
  • Murkrow x2
  • Honchkrow x2
  • Darkrai ex x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Cyrus's Initiative x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Great Cape x2

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 combination creates a fast, aggressive strategy that excels against slower decks.

Darkrai ex Koga Bounce

This deck features:

  • Koffing (GA) x2
  • Weezing x2
  • Spiritomb
  • Darkrai ex x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Potion
  • Cyrus's Initiative x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Koga x2

This deck, reminiscent of the Genetic Apex Koga deck, utilizes Weezing's poison damage for consistent chip damage, while Koga provides crucial resets. Dawn and Cyrus's Initiative aid Pokémon movement. The strategy involves weakening the opponent with poison before delivering the final blow with Darkrai ex. Weezing and Spiritomb's low Energy requirements allow for efficient Energy allocation to Darkrai ex.
