Strengths and Weaknesses

Crobat and Arceus ex Deck [★ Best ★]

Strengths: • Dialga ex can effectively power up Arceus ex, who can then attack with its Colorless-costing Ultimate Force. • Crobat can deal 30 damage using its Cunning Link Ability if Arceus ex is in play. • Arceus ex is a solid attacker with an attack that can max out at 130 damage. Weaknesses: • Makes use of Stage 2 Pokemon, which may require multiple turns to set up. • May sometimes miss KOs on 140 HP Pokemon without damage modifiers.

Energy Used

This deck makes use of Dialga ex to power up an Arceus ex on the Bench, with Crobat providing offensive support through Cunning Link's 30 damage. Arceus ex with a full Bench and a Crobat will max out your damage at 160!

Crobat Deck Strategy Guide

Crobat's Cunning Link

Crobat's Cunning Link Ability lets you deal 30 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon if Arceus ex is in play. Use to increase your damage output to as much as 160 in a single turn!

Arceus ex Offense

When Arceus ex, Crobat's frequent partner is ready to attack, start swinging for 130 with Ultimate Force. Use Giovanni to KO 140 HP Pokemon such as Darkrai ex, Moltres ex, or even other Arceus ex. To reach even higher numbers, you must successfully set up a Crobat on the Bench. You can also use Red for extra damage against 150 HP Pokemon such as Giratina ex.

How to Beat Crobat Decks

Attack Arceus ex for Weakness

Because Arceus ex is frequently played alongside Crobat, Fighting-types will always be a present threat to the deck.

Fighting-types are often difficult for Arceus ex to face off against. Gallade ex can easily knock Arceus ex out if it is already set up with three Energy, while Marshadow can OHKO it if a Pokemon was KOd the previous turn, and with the use of Red.

Use Single Point Pokemon

A deck with Pokemon like Magnezone and Skarmory can outpace Crobat decks with Skarmory's early pressure and Magnezone's ability to 2HKO Charizard with Thunder Blast.

Meowscarada can also KO Arceus ex with the help of Red, with Arceus ex being unable to KO it back without the use of Giovanni.
