Energy Used

Pachirisu ex and Pawmot are both used as main attackers in this deck. Both have low Attack Costs, so they can attack rather quickly.

While it is ideal to use Pachirisu ex in the early game while Pawmot is set up in the bench, Pawmi and Pawmo are also effective early game Pokemon to use if Pachirisu ex is not drawn yet.

Pachirisu ex Deck Strategy Guide

Attach a Pokemon Tool to Pachirisu ex

Pachirisu ex is able to consistently deal 80 damage for only 2 Energy if it has a Tool attached to it. Attach one of the deck's multiple Tool options onto Pachirisu ex and start attacking, switching when a Pachirisu ex is in danger of getting knocked out.

Since Pachirisu ex doesn't have high HP compared to other ex Pokemon, Giant Cape is a good choice of Tool to increase its survivability. However, Rocky Helmet is also good if you prefer to inflict more damage.

Increase Attack Damage With Supporter Cards

Sparking Gadget often only does 80 damage at most, which can make it difficult for Pachirisu ex to knock out bulkier Pokemon, especially if they have access to healing or Giant Cape. Giovanni and Red can boost Pachirisu ex's damage, helping it secure KOs.

How to Beat Pachirisu ex Decks

Use Strong Fighting-Type Pokemon With High HP

Pachirisu ex is not that bulky and is also weak to Fighting-type Pokemon. Strong ex cards with a type advantage like Gallade ex and Garchomp ex can not only survive two Tool-boosted attacks from Pachirisu ex, but also have attacks with low Attack Costs.

Best Fighting Type Deck and Cards Tier List

Avoid Being in KO Range With Healing

Pachirisu ex can typically KO Pokemon below 160 HP in two turns. You can heal your Pokemon with Trainer Cards in order to avoid getting quickly knocked out.
