Best Darkrai Ex Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

This aggressive deck leverages Darkrai Ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when moving Energy, synergizing perfectly with Dawn's Energy manipulation. Weavile Ex adds further damage to already weakened Pokémon.

  • Pokémon: Sneasel x2, Weavile Ex x2, Murkrow x2, Honchkrow x2, Darkrai Ex x2
  • Trainer Cards: Dawn x2, Cyrus's Leaf x2, Professor's Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Great Cape x2

The rapid setup and high damage output of this combo make it highly effective against slower decks.

Darkrai Ex Koga Bounce

This more intricate strategy utilizes chip damage from Weezing's poison, Koga's card reset capabilities, and Darkrai Ex's powerful attacks. The deck's complexity is its strength, requiring skillful play.

  • Pokémon: Koffing (GA) x2, Weezing x2, Spiritomb, Darkrai Ex x2
  • Trainer Cards: Professor's Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Potion, Cyrus x2, Dawn x2, Giant Cape x2, Koga x2

The low Energy cost of Weezing and Spiritomb allows for consistent Darkrai Ex power boosts.

These are two of the strongest Darkrai Ex decks currently available in Pokémon TCG Pocket. For more Pokémon TCG Pocket strategies and guides, check out The Escapist.
