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 combination proves highly effective in the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta, quickly 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 Initiative x2
- Dawn x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Koga's Trap x2
This deck, a refined version of a Genetic Apex favorite, is more complex to master but equally potent. The strategy involves using Weezing's poison for consistent chip damage, while Koga's Trap provides crucial resets. Dawn and Cyrus's Initiative aid Pokémon movement, setting up Darkrai ex for powerful attacks after the opponent's Pokémon are weakened by poison. The low Energy requirements of Weezing and Spiritomb allow for consistent Darkrai ex power boosts.
