Darkrai Ex's ability to deal an additional 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you transfer an Energy to it is a perfect match for Dawn, who facilitates Energy movement. You can then capitalize on this setup with an attack from Weavile Ex, which excels at dealing extra damage to already damaged Pokemon.
This Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is currently a formidable force in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta-game, offering a swift setup and the ability to overpower decks that require more time to establish.
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
As a fan of the Koga deck from the Genetic Apex era, I'm thrilled to see this archetype gain new strength. While the deck can be challenging to master due to its complex mechanics, its versatility is its greatest asset. The strategy involves inflicting consistent damage through Weezing’s poison effect, resetting your cards with Koga when necessary, and leveraging Leag to reposition your Pokemon. The aim is to weaken your opponent with poison, then deliver a powerful strike with Darkrai Ex.
The beauty of this deck lies in the low Energy demands of Weezing and Spiritomb, allowing you to focus more Energy on Darkrai Ex to amplify its damage output.
