The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex deck shines with the inclusion of the new Supporter card, Dawn. This card revolutionizes energy management by allowing you to move one Energy from a Benched Pokémon to an Active Pokémon. Energy allocation is crucial in Pokemon TCG Pocket, and Dawn's ability can be a game-changer.

Combine this with Darkrai Ex, which can deal an extra 20 damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon when you move an Energy to it, creating a powerful synergy.

Metal-type Pokémon have faced challenges since the Genetic Apex era of Pokemon TCG Pocket, but the introduction of Dialga Ex breathes new life into this archetype. Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability lets you attach two Metal Energy to your Benched Pokémon, accelerating your path to Melmetal.

Including Mew Ex and Tauros as counters adds versatility, with Tauros benefiting significantly from Metallic Turbo. This deck offers a more consistent and competitive option for Metal-type enthusiasts.

Grass-type decks surged in popularity with Celebi Ex's release in Mythical Island, but Exeggutor Ex has always been the true star. The addition of Yanmega Ex solidifies its position in the meta.

Yanmega Ex is a consistent attacker, dealing 120 damage with Air Slash. Exeggutor Ex can hold the frontline while you power up Yanmega Ex. Erika's healing abilities, combined with the new Rocky Helmet, provide a robust defensive strategy.

Zapdos Ex remains a reliable attacker, supporting Pachirisu Ex as you build your bench and await key draws.
