The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion has shaken up the meta, introducing exciting new deck archetypes. Among them, Darkrai ex stands out as a particularly potent force. Here are some top-tier Darkrai ex decks to build in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Pokémon TCG Pocket: Best Darkrai ex Decks
Darkrai ex/Weavile ex
Sneasel x2, Weavile ex x2, Murkrow x2, Honchkrow x2, Darkrai ex x2, Dawn x2, Cyrus's Conspiracy x2, Professor's Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Great Cape x2
Darkrai ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when moving Energy synergizes perfectly with Dawn, facilitating efficient Energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on this weakened opponent, dealing amplified damage. This combination creates a fast, aggressive strategy that excels against slower decks. This Darkrai ex/Weavile ex combo is currently proving highly effective in the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta.
Darkrai ex Koga Bounce
Koffing (GA) x2, Weezing x2, Spiritomb, Darkrai ex x2, Professor's Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Potion, Cyrus's Conspiracy x2, Dawn x2, Giant Cape x2, Koga's Trap x2
A personal favorite harkening back to the Genetic Apex era, this deck is more complex but equally rewarding. The strategy involves using Weezing's poison damage to chip away at the opponent's health, while Koga's Trap provides crucial resets. Lea's ability to reposition Pokémon aids in maximizing strategic advantage. The goal is to weaken the opponent with poison before unleashing Darkrai ex's devastating attack. The beauty of this list lies in Weezing and Spiritomb's low Energy requirements, allowing consistent Energy allocation to Darkrai ex for maximized damage output.
