Best Darkrai Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

  • Sneasel x2
  • Weavile Ex x2
  • Murkrow x2
  • Honchkrow x2
  • Darkrai Ex x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Cyrus Leaf x2
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Great Cape x2

Darkrai Ex shines with its ability to inflict an additional 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon by transferring an Energy to it. This ability synergizes exceptionally well with Dawn, enabling you to move Energy freely. Following up with an attack from Weavile Ex, which deals extra damage to already weakened Pokemon, makes this combo formidable. The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex deck is currently a powerhouse in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta-game, offering rapid setup and the ability to overpower slower decks.

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 Bounce deck harks back to the Genetic Apex era and remains one of my personal favorites. Its complexity is part of its charm and strength. This deck employs Weezing’s poison to inflict gradual damage, while Koga allows for strategic card resets when under pressure. Additionally, Dawn facilitates Pokemon movement, setting the stage for Darkrai Ex to deliver decisive blows. The low Energy requirements of Weezing and Spiritomb mean you can consistently empower Darkrai Ex for increased damage output.

These are the top Darkrai Ex decks to build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* at the moment. For more tips and in-depth game information, don't forget to visit The Escapist.
