The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion has shaken up the meta, introducing exciting new deck archetypes. Darkrai ex stands out as a particularly powerful addition. 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 Initiative 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, enabling efficient Energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on this weakened opponent, dealing amplified damage. This potent combination quickly overwhelms decks requiring longer setup times, making it a formidable force in the current 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 Initiative x2, Dawn x2, Giant Cape x2, Koga's Trap x2
A personal favorite reminiscent of the Genetic Apex era, this deck's complexity is its strength. Weezing inflicts gradual poison damage, while Koga's Trap resets the board when needed. Dawn facilitates Pokémon movement, setting the stage for Darkrai ex's devastating attacks. The low Energy requirements of Weezing and Spiritomb ensure consistent Energy allocation to Darkrai ex, maximizing damage output.
