Pokemon TCG Pocket Best Darkrai Ex Decks

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

Deck List:

  • 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's ability to deal an extra 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you move an Energy to it synergizes perfectly with Dawn, allowing you to move Energy freely. This setup paves the way for a powerful follow-up attack from Weavile Ex, who can capitalize on the damage already inflicted.

This Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is currently a force to be reckoned with in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta-game. Its quick setup and relentless pressure make it a formidable choice against decks that require more time to establish their strategy.

Darkrai Ex Koga Bounce

Deck List:

  • 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, gains new life with this archetype. This deck can be challenging to master due to its intricate mechanics, yet this complexity is also its greatest strength. The strategy involves dealing continuous poison damage with Weezing, using Koga to reset and protect your Pokemon, and leveraging Leag to maneuver your Pokemon effectively. The goal is to wear down your opponents with poison before delivering a decisive blow with Darkrai Ex.

One of the key advantages of this deck is the low Energy requirement for Weezing and Spiritomb, allowing you to consistently boost Darkrai Ex's damage output.
