Moltres ex is your ideal starter as it can ramp Energy onto your Benched Moltres. Use Inferno Dance to try and ramp Energy onto Moltres, and use Professor's Research to prepare for the next turn. Use Poke Ball to thin your deck of your Basic Pokemon, and finally Red Card to disrupt your opponent's setup.
Recommended Starting Hand |

Moltres ex Ramp | ||
---|---|---|
Moltres ex is your ideal start. Use Inferno Dance to ramp Energy onto your Benched Moltres. Use Professor's Research to dig for more resources.
Make use of Moltres's Sky Attack to deal 100 damage. It does nothing on a tails flip, however, making it inconsistent.

Key Card(s) Required | |
---|---|
1 | Continue offensive pressure with your Pokemon. |
2 | Use Sabrina to attempt to bring out vulnerable Pokemon, or Pokemon without enough Energy to attack or Retreat. |
Deck | Commentary |
---|---|
Venusaur Decks |
・Can trade damage favorably because of its type advantage over Grass provided Moltres flips heads on its attacks. |
Deck | Commentary |
---|---|
Pikachu ex Decks |
・ Pokemon in the deck are all weak to Lightning. ・ Difficult counterplay to disadvantageous damage trades. |
Moltres and Moltres ex lack consistent ways to OHKO opposing Pokemon and will have to rely on multiple attacks and lucky flips.
Overall, this deck is mediocre at best and should only be considered if you're up for a challenge. It is recommended that you drop Moltres and play Moltres ex with a powerful Fire-type Attacker that is capable of taking OHKOs and taking advantage of Moltres ex's Energy acceleration like Charizard ex

Unfortunately, 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.
