I hate the Pikachu Ex deck. Like, I really, REALLY hate it.

So this deck is just, middle finger to Pikachu Ex.

I don't think there is a lot to discuss here, one of my rare non-control decks. I put half and half of the Golem line from GA and MI just to give options while fighting. The deck beat a Celebi deck after I built it so surely it can't be terrible, right? And I didn't even have to use Marshadow to do it HAHA

(The guy ragequit lmao)

Solid deck for any challenges involving no EX cards or for solo challenges with nothing higher rarity than 3 diamonds. Grapploct is a great disruptor to inflict heavy damage and make it harder for your opponent to get anything set up, while Machamp just hits hard. Hitmonchan can be replaced for a second Hitmonlee, but they work well for putting out damage while setting up your heavy hitters, especially with Hitmonlee focusing down the bench so anything they set up isn't as dangerous.

As seen during the event.

Energies: psy + steel

Use Caterpie if opponent is supposed to use Druddigon in the first hand, else start with Koffing (Myth Island) or Jigglypuff.

Then start charging Wigglytuff.

The strategy is to use Weezing to poison the opponent's Pokémon, continuing to attack until it is knocked out. At that point, we will bring out our Wigglytuff to finish the job with the poison/sleep combination.

Butterfree is used solely to replace potions and provide greater long-term support to Wigglytuff's HP, as we aim to stall as much as possible.

Fighting energy only! Start with Chatot and cycle through and work to get Machamp on the board as quickly as possible. Aerodactyl is primarily used for control and Mew can be used as a nice counter to Mewtwo decks. A bit slow to set up, but Machop (1 energy) and Machoke (2 energy) can pack a punch on their own as you work up to Machamp if necessary.

From Game 8

This Weavile ex variation has access to a devastating 90 damage play with Dawn.

Attach an Energy to a benched Darkrai ex, triggering Nightmare Aura dealing 20 to your opponent's Active Pokemon, then use Dawn to transfer it to your Active Weavile ex, and attack with Scratching Nails for 70. This deck can achieve this combo fairly easily.

Spiritomb, a tech card, can do 10 damage to all of your opponent's Pokemon, which gets your Cyrus online immediately.

Energy used: Darkness

Use Moltres ex to ramp up your Charmanders while you search for Charmeleon and Charizard ex

This is a just an updated version of Mewtwo Ex with meowth, but Sigilyph is just strictly better in a psychic deck.

Main strategy is to set up Mewtwo Ex with gardevoir on the bench. This allows you to use psydrive every turn for 150 damage. Lead with Sigilyph and draw until you have everything you need. Ideally you wanna retreat your Sigilyph so your opponent doesn't get a point from it and has to take down both your Mewtwo Ex. You can consider adding a Jynx for a better matchup against Celebi, Charizard and Gyarados.

Ideally you'd start with Hitmonlee, Diglett, and Dugtrio. If you're first energy is psychic play Diglett and hope the next one is fighting, otherwise play hitmonlee and start hitting the back line. Once you evolve Diglett, it and Hitmonlee should be able to give enough time to power up Mew ex. Dual energy is inconsistent but since each fighting mon only uses 1 energy it's tolerable. I tried only fighting energy but I found it better for mew to be able to do 20 damage. Especially if its the first mon you draw.

Steel energy only!

Saw this deck concept, tried it and it worked, so I thought I might post it here...

The idea is to get Dialga in the Active spot as soon as possible and start giving away energy to Arceus and Mew on the bench. Mew is there to try to deal with opposing Charizard and other heavy hitters.

We have only 6 basic pokémon cards here with ways to get the bench full for Arceus.

It's simple: while using Zapdos Ex, which has the potential to deal up to 200 damage with just three Energy, you evolve Froakie to get Greninja. It's a pretty fun combo that, along with the red card and the hand scope, can be quite annoying for your opponent. IMPORTANT: You should only use Lightning Energy since Froakie's first two stages don’t require Water Energy, and for Greninja, you only use his ability. This way, you can deal damage to the benched Pokémon with Greninja while using Zapdos Ex to damage the active Pokémon.
