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

Darkrai ex/Weavile ex

• 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 increased damage. This combination creates a fast, aggressive deck that excels against slower setups.

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, reminiscent of the Genetic Apex Koga strategy, is more complex but highly effective. Weezing inflicts poison damage over time, while Koga's Trap resets the board when needed. Dawn facilitates Pokémon movement, setting up for Darkrai ex's powerful attacks. The low Energy cost of Weezing and Spiritomb allows for consistent Energy allocation to Darkrai ex.
