If you already have the Rocky Helmet, you can attach it to your Druddigon to increase the counter damage to 40 HP—severely punishing your opponent's Pokemon if they attack.

Place Druddigon in the Active Spot and equip it with the Rocky Helmet. Druddigon's Rough Skin will deal 20 HP to the opponent's pokemon if it attacks. This will stack with the Rocky Helmet which also gives the same effect—this means that the opponent loses 40 HP total if it attacks Druddigon.
With this set-up, your opponent will be more reluctant to attack, giving you extra time to evolve your Ralts in the Bench.

Gallade ex is your primary attacker for this deck so you want to make sure it doesn't get one hit KO'd right away. Equip Gallade ex with the Giant Cape to increase its HP by 20. This will prevent it from being instantly defeated by attacks like Mewtwo ex's Psyblast.

Deck | Commentary |
---|---|
![]() Energy Scale Decks |
・Decks with Pokemon whose power scales on energy like Celebi ex will be greatly disadvantaged against Gallade ex, who gains bonus damage from the opponent's energy. |
Deck | Commentary |
---|---|
![]() Snipe Decks |
・Decks with Greninja or any Pokemon with attacks that could bypass the Active Spot could easily snipe your bench before you finish building Gallade ex. |
This deck has a very high risk, high reward type of play style. When played correctly, Gallade ex has the potential to counter powerful meta decks like Mewtwo ex and Celebi ex. However, if you mistime the use of Gallade ex, then you will be very easy to defeat once your main damage dealer is compromised.
You would want to play cards like Greninja, Zebstrika, or Honchkrow who could attack around Druddigon. If you could damage or defeat Ralts or Kirlia before they could evolve into Gallade ex then your opponent will be greatly disadvantaged without its primary damage dealer.
Card | Explanation |
---|---|
![]() Hitmonlee |
・ Hitmonlee is a good pokemon to have during your early game phase. ・ Its attack has a low cost and could hit any Bench pokemon, disrupting your opponent's building phase. |
![]() Marshadow |
・ Marshadow could swiftly punish your opponent if any of your Pokemon gets defeated, dealing -100 HP with its Revenge. |
Card | Possible Cuts |
---|---|
![]() Blue |
![]() ・ Blue's ability to subtract damage taken by your Pokemon could help extend the lifespan of your Gallade ex, so you could switch it in for one of your Rocky Helmets |
