Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex Combo

Darkrai Ex's ability inflicts an additional 20 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon whenever you attach an Energy card to it. This pairs perfectly with Dawn, which allows you to reposition Energy across your board. Follow this setup with an attack from Weavile Ex, which deals increased damage to already wounded Pokemon.

This Darkrai Ex and Weavile Ex synergy is proving exceptionally deadly in the current Pokemon TCG Pocket meta. The deck assembles rapidly and efficiently dismantles slower, setup-dependent strategies.

Darkrai Ex Koga Bounce Deck

The Koga strategy was a personal favorite during the Genetic Apex era, and any upgrade to that archetype is a welcome sight.

Piloting this deck requires some finesse due to its numerous interactive components, which is also its core strength. The goal is to apply gradual chip damage via Weezing's poison effect and use Koga to reset it when threatened. The card also facilitates Pokemon movement. The overall strategy involves weakening opponents with poison before finishing them off with a powerful Darkrai Ex strike.

A major advantage of this list is the low Energy commitment required for Weezing and Spiritomb. This allows you to consistently funnel resources into Darkrai Ex to maximize its damage output.
