Mewtwo ex Decks |

Machamp ex Decks |
・High damage can overpower Koga Deck with type advantage |
Marowak ex Decks |
・Low energy cost attacks can quickly eliminate your Basic Dark types. |
The Koga deck is relatively easy to use, having one simple gimmick of poisoning the opponent and letting Muk clean up with Venoshock. Due to this, the strategy can be easily predicted, and worst case, countered by experienced opponents.
