• Dawn x2
• Cyrus x2
• Leaf x2

The highlight of this deck is the new Supporter card, Dawn, which revolutionizes energy management by allowing you to transfer an Energy from a Benched to an Active Pokemon. This ability is crucial in Pokemon TCG Pocket as energy allocation can dictate the flow of the game. When combined with Darkrai Ex, which gains an additional 20 damage for each Energy moved to it, you create a formidable offensive strategy. Weavile Ex can then capitalize on weakened opponents with its damage-enhancing attacks. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide reliable secondary attackers while you set up your main threats.

• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Giant Cape x2

Metal-type Pokemon have faced challenges since the Genetic Apex era, but the introduction of Dialga Ex brings new hope. Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability allows you to attach two Metal Energy to your Benched Pokemon, speeding up your transition to Melmetal. Mew Ex and Tauros serve as effective counters, with Tauros benefiting from the rapid energy acceleration provided by Metallic Turbo.

Grass-type decks gained popularity with Celebi Ex during the Mythical Island expansion, but Exeggutor Ex remains the star.

Erika's healing capabilities and the defensive boost from Rocky Helmet make this deck both aggressive and resilient.
