Gengar ex and Unown Deck |

This deck's strength lies in its ability to trade points favorably against ex decks, and more importantly, Mega ex decks.
Togedemaru can reliably deal 30 damage for 2 Energy. While this may seem negligible at first, this Attack also lets Togedemaru deal another 30 damage the following turn if it gets damaged by an opponent's Attack.
The deck runs damage modifiers such as Sophocles and Aegislash, with Aegislash being the deck's Ace besides Togedemaru.
Memory Light can allow Aegislash to use Honedge's Pierce for only 1 Energy, resulting in 50 damage thanks to Aegislash's Cursed Metal Ability.
Rocky Helmet can also pile on damage on your opponent's side, letting you score KOs quicker.

A 2-2 line of Golurk and up to 8 random evolution cards with 3 Retreat Cost is enough to ensure that Golurk hits for 180 every turn. You can opt to lower your supporter count even further to boost Golurk's consistency.
You can slot in your choice of 3-4 Retreat evolution Pokemon, as long as they use 8 or more slots in the deck to ensure that Golurk always hits for 180.
Whichever Pokemon you choose does not affect Golurk's main strategy, as long as they have a Retreat Cost of 3 or more. You can use this deck to show off your full art ex Pokemon!

Spurt Fire deals as much as 150 damage for only 2 Energy. Its limitation is that you cannot choose which Pokemon on your opponent's side of the field it will target.
While this is lots of damage for only 2 Energy, it could also occasionally fail to take important KOs on higher HP Pokemon.

Unlike regular Poison, the Poison from Toxicroak's Toxic will inflict 20 damage per turn instead of 10. This is a significant amount, that can effectively whittle down the opposing Pokemon's life total.
Hypno can put your opponent's Active Pokemon to Sleep, making sure that Toxic deals lots of incremental damage, while Darkrai ex sits on the Bench, dealing incremental damage as well with Nightmare Aura.
Darkrai ex can also work as a late-game payoff, who can take out low HP Pokemon consistently with its 80 damage Dark Prism.

This deck makes use of Unown and Hand Scope to gain as much information as possible from your opponent. This makes it so Red Card and Mars are even more effective.
Having a Gengar ex set up can also lock your opponents out of their Supporter cards, severely limiting their options.

The Leafeon ex and Glaceon ex Deck makes use of only Water Energy from the Energy Zone, relying only on Leafeon ex's Forest Breath Ability to generate Grass Energy.
By attaching only Water Energy, all Pokemon in the deck can benefit from Irida's HP recovery. Using it with Erika can make Leafeon ex highly durable, while Glaceon ex is there to deal damage when necessary.
The Eevee used in this deck is the Mythical Island Eevee, which can high roll for lots of damage. Other Eevee options have more consistent attacks, but they could also be consistently unimpactful with all the healing options available to your opponents.

Medicham can deal 80 damage on a successful coin flip with its Kick Shot Attack, which only costs 1 Fighting Energy. With Lucario on your Bench, its Fighting Coach Ability can buff your Fighting Pokemon's Attacks by 20, which can also stack if you have two Lucarios on your board.
With an ideal board state, you can hit for 100 to 120 damage as early as turn 2!
