Alternate Card Suggestions

Alternate Cards Possible Cuts

Tapu Lele
(A3 084)

・Tapu Lele can be a good substitute if you only have one Giratina ex. This card can easily snipe any opposing cards on the Bench and will be more effective if they have Energy attached to them.

Lunala ex is a Stage 2 card that benefits from Rare Candy, which greatly speeds up its setup, allowing it to immediately start attacking for only two Energy.

It also synergizes with Giratina ex as a card for Energy acceleration. Additionally, Space-Time Smackdown Giratina is slotted in as a way to counter Pom-Pom Oricorio.

STS Giratina is a good choice for this deck due to how it can freely move out of the Active Spot thanks to its Levitate Ability. Lunala ex's Ability also allows it to help STS Giratina to quickly get its Energy requirements with help from Giratina ex's Ability.

Lunala ex Deck Strategy Guide

Use Psychic Connect to Move Energy

Lunala ex's Psychic Connect Ability allows it to move all attached Psychic Energy from one Benched Pokemon to your Active Pokemon.

This way, you can let one Pokemon on your side of the field accumulate Energy then move them to your main attacking Pokemon, or even Lunala ex itself, once you have enough Energy to attack.

Set Up Lunala ex on the Bench

Lunala ex also doesn't need to be in the Active Spot when preparing it, as you can use its Ability while it is on the Bench.

You can place Cosmog and evolve it all the way to Lunala ex on the Bench while another Pokemon is in your Active Spot, dealing damage to your opponent's cards.

How to Beat Lunala ex Decks

KO Cosmog Before it Evolves

Use cards like Sabrina or Cyrus to gust out Cosmog and knock it out before it becomes a threat.

Hitmonlee is also capable of 2HKOing a benched Cosmog, forcing your opponents to evolve right away or risk losing it.
