Darkrai Ex's ability to deal an extra 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you move an Energy to it perfectly complements Dawn, allowing you to maneuver Energy around your deck. Following this, you can unleash an attack from Weavile Ex, which can capitalize on the already weakened state of the opponent's Pokemon.
This Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is proving to be a formidable force in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta-game. Its quick setup and relentless damage output can overpower decks that require more time to establish themselves.
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 personal favorite from the Genetic Apex era, has been revitalized with this new archetype. This deck requires skillful management due to its complexity, but that's also where its power lies. The strategy involves dealing consistent chip damage with Weezing’s poison effect and resetting the board with Koga when necessary. Dawn aids in repositioning your Pokemon, and the goal is to weaken your opponents with poison before delivering a decisive blow with Darkrai Ex.
One of the strengths of this list is the minimal Energy requirement for Weezing and Spiritomb, allowing you to focus more Energy on Darkrai Ex for enhanced damage output.
