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 by moving Energy synergizes perfectly with Dawn, facilitating Energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes, dealing increased damage to already weakened Pokémon.

This Darkrai ex/Weavile ex combination proves highly effective in the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta. Its rapid setup overwhelms decks requiring longer preparation.

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

The Koga deck, a favorite from the Genetic Apex era, receives a significant boost.

This deck's complexity is its strength. Weezing inflicts gradual poison damage, while Koga's Trap provides crucial resets. Dawn aids Pokémon repositioning, setting up Darkrai ex for powerful attacks after weakening opponents with poison. Crucially, Weezing and Spiritomb require minimal Energy, allowing for consistent Darkrai ex damage boosts.
