Darkrai Ex's ability to deal an extra 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you move an Energy to it pairs exceptionally well with Dawn, enabling you to maneuver Energy effectively. Following this, you can unleash an attack from Weavile Ex, which capitalizes on already damaged Pokemon for additional damage.
This Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is currently proving to be formidable in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta-game. Its quick setup and relentless pressure can overwhelm decks that require more time to establish their strategy.

- Spiritomb
- Darkrai Ex x2
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Potion
- Cyrus x2

The Koga deck, a favorite from the Genetic Apex era, has been revitalized with this new archetype. Mastering this deck can be challenging due to its intricate mechanics, but this complexity is also its strength. The strategy involves inflicting chip damage through Weezing’s poison over time, and using Koga to reset your cards when necessary. Dawn further aids in repositioning your Pokemon, allowing you to soften up opponents with poison damage before delivering a decisive blow with Darkrai Ex.
A key advantage of this deck is that Weezing and Spiritomb require minimal Energy investment, freeing up resources to amplify Darkrai Ex's damage output.
