SR Pikachu ex and Pom-Pom Oricorio Deck [★ Best ★]	Strengths: • This Pikachu ex has a high-damage Lightning-type move that can be used as a finisher. • Allows more freedom with deck slots compared to other high-damage Lightning decks due to Pikachu ex being a Basic Pokemon. • Makes use of multiple ways to generate Energy such as Zeraora and Pichu. Weaknesses: • Discards all its Energy upon attacking. • Pokemon in the deck have low HP, making them susceptible to getting OHKOd.

Cyrus ×1	Mars ×1	Pokemon Center Lady ×2	Red ×1
Guzma ×1	Electrical Cord ×2	X Speed ×2	Poke Ball ×2
Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Tapu Koko ex is ideal to have as your first Basic Pokemon, since it can quickly set up with Plasma Hurricane. Then, from the second turn onwards, it's easy to spam Mach Bolt.

Zeraora is also a decent Pokemon to start with, since it is easy to set up. This is also the deck's only answer to Pom-Pom Oricorio, since it's the only non-ex Pokemon.

If you need a higher damage output move, the Thunderbolts of the Shining Revelry Pikachu ex can take down bulkier opponents. It's best to have this Pokemon on your bench at first to receive Energy once Tapu Koko ex or Zeraora are all set up. You can then switch to Pikachu ex if you need to deal with Pokemon with full or high HP.

SR Pikachu ex Deck Strategy Guide

Use Pachirisu to Generate Energy

Pachirisu can provide Pikachu ex with Lightning energy with its move Plasma. This allows the player to attach the Energy they need to Pikachu ex while keeping it safe and dealing chip damage. It may also be optimal to Bench Shaymin in order to easily retreat Pachirisu without any cost, and then use Dawn to transfer one Lightning energy from Pachirisu to Pikachu ex.

Deal Additional Damage With Trainer Cards

Pikachu ex may not be able to KO certain Pokemon with higher HP or Pokemon equipped with the Giant Cape. In these cases, attaching the Rocky Helmet or using Red can help score you KOs.

How to Beat SR Pikachu ex Decks

Use Strong Fighting-Type Pokemon With High HP

Pikachu ex is not that bulky and is weak to Fighting-type Pokemon. Using Pokemon like Gallade ex or Garchomp ex not only gives you an offensive type advantage, but they can also survive an unboosted Thunderbolt. You may also opt to use Giant Cape to ensure that Pikachu ex doesn't take a knock out.

Garchomp ex Deck Strategy Guide and Card List

Fast Fighting Pokemon

Fighting-types that are able to impose their offense will be able to outpace a Pikachu ex deck, especially if they're unable to get their Pikachu ex online in time.

Fast and efficient Fighting-types that can attack for few Energy are sure to get an upper hand in these matchups.

Remove Energy from Pikachu ex

Pikachu ex's Thunderbolt has a steep Attack Cost at 3. Cards that can discard your opponent's Energy such as Beedrill ex and Team Rocket Grunt can help in denying it a turn to attack.

Do remember, however, that Beedrill ex and Team Rocket Grunt only discard Energy from the Active Pokemon.
