This deck can generate value as early as your first turn with Pokemon like Pichu and Zeraora, which can generate Energy. This synergizes with Elemental Switch, which can allow you to set up an alternate attacker quickly.

Pikachu ex from Shining Revelry works as a finisher for higher HP Pokemon, while Pikachu ex from Genetic Apex can do a consistent 120 damage if you have three Pokemon on your Bench.

Pichu enables all the 2-Energy attackers in the deck by being able to attach Energy on the first turn with Crackly Toss.

Zeraora is also able to accelerate Energy onto itself on your first turn. You can then use Elemental Switch to quickly set up any attacker you wish.

The deck's main attacker is Genetic Apex Pikachu ex, who can easily 2HKO all ex Pokemon.

This deck works primarily by building Pikachu ex on the bench and using Zebstrika to target your opponent's benched Pokemon, which can then be pulled in via Cyrus to finish them off.

Additionally, Rotom can help damage opponents quicker for equipping the Giant Cape or other tools, while Dawn can be used as a means of transferring energy from a benched Pokemon to the one in your active spot, allowing you to attack with your Ace card quicker.

This deck with Pikachu ex and Raichu is centered around building up your benched Pokemon while paralyzing the opponent's active Pokemon with Dedenne. Having Pikachu ex still allows you to deal 90 damage to a single Pokemon with just 2 energies and a loaded bench, at which point you can retreat to send in Raichu, then use Lt. Surge to deal a devastating 140 damage to your opponent's active Pokemon.

GA Pikachu ex Deck Strategy Guide

Equip Giant Cape

Pikachu ex
Giant Cape

Starting with Pikachu ex would usually mean that it would take damage from a one-Energy attacker from the opponent's side. Use Giant Cape to keep Pikachu ex healthy, and swing with Circle Circuit as soon as it's ready!

Secondary Attackers

Zapdos ex
Zebstrika
Rotom

Pikachu ex has plenty of secondary attackers to choose from that are all useful for different points in the game.

Zebstrika is a great option for sniping around Druddigon decks, while Zapdos ex can work as a last-ditch effort to get a big KO.

How to Beat GA Pikachu ex Decks

Attack with Type Advantage

Marshadow
Lucario

Most Lightning Pokemon in Pikachu ex decks are weak to Fighting type cards. In the case of Marshadow, it can deal 100 damage on the turn after one of that player's Pokemon were knocked out, but thanks to weakness, this will do 120 to most Lightning Pokemon, enough to one-shot a Pikachu ex.

The Pikachu player can attempt to counter this by either relying on Zapdos ex against Fighting decks, or by equipping Giant Cape to their Pikachu, but generally speaking it is a tough matchup for Pikachu ex users.

Use Tanky Heavy Hitters

Charizard ex
Mewtwo ex

Barring type weakness, the most damage Pikachu ex can deal in a single hit is 90. Therefore, having Pokemon that can tank Circle Circuit and follow up with a killing blow gives a huge advantage. Cards such as Mewtwo ex or Charizard ex will be capable of withstanding its attack, only to one-shot it the next turn, giving these decks a strong advantage.

Deny Pikachu ex KOs

Erika
Blue
Giant Cape

In addition to having Pokemon that can tank hits, cards that heal HP like Erika can turn 2HKOs into 3HKOs, making it tough for Pikachu ex to enact its gameplan. Blue and Giant Cape can also deny it important KOs, which can allow you to attack Pikachu on the following turn.

Don't Spend Energy on Lower HP Pokemon

While it is important to build up the cards that will be able to knock out Pikachu, you should avoid wasting energy on Pokemon that have 90 HP or less, as they can very easily be KO'd by a Pikachu attack. In many cases, it may even be best to put one of them into the active spot while you build up a benched Pokemon, which can be sent in as soon as the weaker Pokemon is knocked out.

Giant cape does not work on Rotom and you say to use dawn in the first build but don’t have her in the deck builder

The cards in "List of Cards" differ from the cards in "Pikachu ex Deck Strategies", "Game Phases" and "Pikachu ex Deck Other Viable Options". Somehow Pincurchin and Voltorb appear outside of the list of cards
