The *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Space-Time Smackdown expansion injected a potent dose of new deck archetypes into the metagame, and Darkrai ex stands out as a particularly exciting addition. Let's explore some of the best Darkrai ex decks currently available.
Best Darkrai Ex Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex
This deck utilizes:
- Sneasel x2
- Weavile ex x2
- Murkrow x2
- Honchkrow x2
- Darkrai ex x2
- Dawn x2
- Cyrus's Leaf x2
- Professor's Research x2
- Poké Ball x2
- Great Cape x2
Darkrai ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when energy is moved synergizes perfectly with Dawn, enabling efficient energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on this weakened opponent, dealing increased damage. This fast-paced combo proves highly effective against decks requiring longer setup times, making it a formidable force in the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta.
Darkrai Ex Koga Bounce
This strategy incorporates:
- Koffing (GA) x2
- Weezing x2
- Spiritomb
- Darkrai ex x2
- Professor's Research x2
- Poké Ball x2
- Potion
- Cyrus x2
- Dawn x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Koga x2
A personal favorite reminiscent of the Genetic Apex era, this deck leverages Weezing's poison damage and Koga's reset ability for strategic chip damage and board control. Leag (presumably a typo, intended as "Dawn" or another card) aids in Pokémon repositioning. The goal is to weaken opponents with poison before delivering the finishing blow with Darkrai ex. Weezing and Spiritomb's low energy requirements allow for consistent Darkrai ex power boosts.
