Strategy

Darkrai ex and Magnezone has positive matchups against most top decks, including Palkia ex decks, and other Darkrai ex decks.

Druddigon is the best early-game stall Pokemon, which is perfect for Darkrai ex and Magnezone which are rewarding payoffs for the late-game. Druddigon's Rough Skin + an Energy attachment to Darkrai ex will result in 40 damage per turn, all while Magneton charges in the Bench with Volt Charge.

The deck uses Space-Time Smackdown Magnemite over Genetic Apex Magnemite because of its Attack's Colorless Attack Cost, which it can use for Darkness Energy.

Types: Darkness

Strengths:

• Magnezone is able to hit important HP benchmarks with the help of Darkrai's Nightmare Aura.

• Magnezone has an important type advantage over the likes of Palkia ex and Yanmega ex.

• Magneton's Volt Charge can get Lightning Energy from the Energy Zone, even if you set your Energy Zone to only Dark.

Weaknesses:

• Setting up Magnezone may take a few turns because it is a Stage 2.

• Besides Magneton's Ability, there are no other ways to attach Lightning Energy to your Magnezone line.
