Deck | Commentary |
---|---|
Starmie ex Decks |
・Can quickly outspeed Moltres ex's setup and eventually get to your Benched Charmanders |
Pikachu ex Decks |
・Can quickly outspeed Moltres ex's setup by hitting it for super-effective damage, and eventually get to your Benched Charmanders |
The Charizard ex deck can ramp consistently thanks to Moltres ex, which it heavily depends on for ramp. The deck faces problems setting up its Stage 2 Charizard ex. Do your best to keep Moltres ex healthy and set up a Charizard ex on your bench!
Card | Explanation |
---|---|
Charizard |
・ Non-ex Charizard can also work as a powerful attacker that does not give up two points. |
Old Amber |
・Fossils can help manipulate point trades and make you less susceptible to Sabrina. |
Card | Possible Cuts |
---|---|
Farfetch'd |
・ Farfetch'd is an okay inclusion, as it can immediately pose offensive pressure. However it does not give any value in terms of ramp. |
Kangaskhan |
・ Similar to Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan can also apply immediate pressure. It also does not give value in terms of ramp. |

No other card does what Moltres ex does for Fire decks and the value it gives them. Having just 1 will put you at a disadvantage, but it is better than none.
The Trainers suite remains the same as the regular build, as these are all useful and essential, with Red Card being the tech card of choice.
