Top Pokemon TCG Darkrai EX Decks

The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion has shaken up the meta, introducing exciting new deck archetypes. Among them, Darkrai ex stands out as a particularly potent force. Here are some top-tier Darkrai ex decks to build in Pokémon TCG Pocket.

Best Darkrai Ex Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

This deck utilizes the synergy between Darkrai ex and Weavile ex for devastating results.

  • Sneasel x2
  • Weavile ex x2
  • Murkrow x2
  • Honchkrow x2
  • Darkrai ex x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Great Cape x2

Darkrai ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when energy is moved to it pairs perfectly with Dawn, enabling efficient energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on this weakened opponent, dealing increased damage to already damaged Pokémon. This fast-paced, aggressive strategy excels against decks requiring longer setup times, making it a formidable force in the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta.

Darkrai Ex Koga Bounce

This deck employs a more intricate strategy, leveraging chip damage and strategic resets.

  • Koffing (GA) x2
  • Weezing x2
  • Spiritomb
  • Darkrai ex x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Potion
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Koga x2

A favorite from the Genetic Apex era, this deck utilizes Weezing's poison damage to weaken opponents over time. Koga provides crucial resets when needed, allowing for advantageous repositioning. Lea (presumably a typo for Dawn) also aids in Pokémon movement. The goal is to chip away at the opponent's health with poison, then deliver the final blow with Darkrai ex. The low energy requirements of Weezing and Spiritomb ensure ample energy remains for Darkrai ex's powerful attacks.
