Mega Altaria ex and Sylveon ex Deck
[★ Best ★] |
Strengths:
• Mega Harmony can deal up to 130 damage with a full Bench for only 2 Energy. • Easy conditions for maximizing Mega Harmony's damage output. • Mega Rising's Eevee allows you to evolve into Sylveon ex right away and draw cards with Happy Ribbon if it is in the Active Spot. Weaknesses: • Very weak to Pom-Pom Oricorio, which cannot be damaged by most Pokemon in the deck. |
Jolteon ex and Jolteon Deck
[★ New ★] |
Strengths:
• Inexpensive Attack in Mach Bolt, which can 2HKO most ex Pokemon. • Mega Rising Eevee allows you to immediately evolve into Jolteon ex, and start dealing damage with its Ability. • Has fast, single-point attackers that can be used in the early game. Weaknesses: • Jolteon ex's low HP makes it an easy target to Cyrus and KO. |
Sylveon ex and Greninja Deck
|
Strengths:
• Sylveon ex's Ability increases the deck's consistency in finding necessary evolution cards and Trainer cards. • Psychic Energy can also be attached to Giratina ex to speed up its set up. Weaknesses: • Relies on Giratina ex and Greninja ex for damage. • This deck's main attacker, Giratina ex, also damages itself whenever it uses Chaotic Impact. |
Espeon ex and Sylveon ex Deck
|
Strengths:
• Espeon ex can deal a solid 80 damage for only two Psychic Energy. • Espeon ex's Psychic Healing Ability can keep your Pokemon healthy for longer. Weaknesses: • Espeon ex's Psychic Healing will not matter against Pokemon who are able to OHKO your Pokemon. • Espeon ex's low HP makes it an easy target to Cyrus and KO. |
Charizard ex and Sylveon ex Deck
|
Strengths:
• Charizard ex can set itself up if it has to using Stoke. • Steam Artillery deals a sizeable 150 damage, which is enough to KO most ex Pokemon. • Sylveon ex's Ability increases the deck's consistency in finding necessary evolution cards and Trainer cards. Weaknesses: • Charizard ex always needs a turn to use Stoke before it can start attacking with Steam Artillery. • Sylveon ex has low HP, making it susceptible to getting gusted by Cyrus and KOd. |

Lisia is a great Supporter in this deck because it can consistently find you your Basic Pokemon.
Mega Altaria ex is your primary attacker, which can be kept healthy by Dusknoir.
Eevee from Mega Rising can immediately evolve into Sylveon ex if it is in the Active Spot, and can draw you cards with Happy Ribbon as early as your first turn, increasing your chances of finding a turn 1 Lisia, or a turn 2 Rare Candy into Dusknoir.

This deck focuses on attacking quickly with Jolteon ex and Jolteon. By using the Mega Rising Eevee, you can evolve it right away and start doing damage on the turn you put it in play.
Shining Revelry Pikachu ex is used as a late-game finisher against bulkier opponents. On the other hand, Pom-Pom Style Oricorio is another early-game option. It may also be used to wall the opponent's ex Pokemon.
You may also evolve Sylveon ex to help you search for the cards that you need.

Sylveon ex can help you quickly set up a Greninja with its Happy Ribbon Ability which draws you two cards when you evolve it from Eevee.
An early Greninja can often win you the game, letting you snipe for 20 each turn with Water Shuriken and putting opponents into Giratina ex's KO range.
Giratina ex can safely sit on the Bench and set up with Broken-Space Bellow until it is ready to score a KO.

Espeon ex's healing ability is a good counter against aggressive decks. It can be switched to the Active Spot to heal critical Pokemon when their HP is low and saves you space on healing items. At most, you may only need items like the Eevee Bag to keep your Espeon ex's HP from falling too low.
Espeon ex can also deal 80 damage for only 2 Energy with Super Psy Bolt, which can also be buffed by Eevee Bag to ensure 2HKOs on exs, and OHKOs on most Basics.
The ideal strategy is that you use Sylveon ex to draw more cards, then evolve Eevee to Espeon ex to immediately have healing. If you are facing against opponents with high HP cards, you can opt to use non-ex Sylveon to deal heavy damage.

Sylveon ex and its ability to draw cards with Happy Ribbon can help you quickly set up Charizard ex.
Once set up, use Charizard ex's Stoke to accelerate Energy onto it, then use Steam Artillery to score KOs afterwards.
Use Lillie to keep Charizard ex in the battle longer.
Genetic Apex Flareon works as a countermeasure to Pom-Pom Oricorio. Do your best to set it up and take a KO before it gets sniped by Greninja and gusted with Cyrus.
Genetic Apex Charmander can KO Baby Pokemon in one hit, while also putting opposing Charizard ex in KO range of your own Charizard ex's Steam Artillery.
Wisdom of Sea and Sky Eevee can help find important evolution cards, like a Sylveon ex for more card draw the following turn.
This deck also runs Red to allow Charizard ex to KO Crobat ex who has 170 HP.

This deck offers plenty of draw and search options, letting you have all of your cards in-hand for you to use when you need them.
Shiinotic can find you important evolution cards after you have used up your Poke Balls, while your single copy of Sylveon ex can immediately draw you two cards as soon as you evolve into it.
You will have to rely on the low HP non-ex Sylveon for your damage however, so it is important to get your Bench filled with evolved Pokemon as quickly as possible. Espeon can punish Energy-heavy Pokemon.
Your Energy attachments must always be carefully thought when playing this deck, as you must always have a Pokemon ready to attack, especially after one has been KOd.

![]() ![]() • You can use the Wisdom of Sea and Sky Eevee instead so you only draw Pokemon cards, further increasing your chances to Horsea, Kingdra ex, or Sylveon ex. • However, you won't be able to draw Rare Candy Cards through this Attack, so you'll need to rely on other means to get the Rare Candies and evolve Horsea. |
![]() Red (A2b 071) |
![]() ![]() • Consider swapping out Silver for Red to increase Kingdra's damage against ex Pokemon. |

This deck utilizes Crobat ex and Nihilego's More Poison Ability to deal quick damage early on in the game. If you're able to set it up, you can deal 80 damage as early as your second turn.
Aim to evolve Zubat into Crobat ex early with Rare Candy. Make use of Sylveon ex to find necessary cards for your setup.
Silver and Dark Pendant are also useful for this deck as it can disrupt your opponent's hand.

This Galarian Cursola and Sylveon ex deck lets Galarian Cursola stay on the Active spot to act as a wall that can also knock out attacking opponents with its Perish Body Ability and give Giratina ex enough time to set up.
Sylveon ex's main role is to draw cards and find evolution cards to speed up your setup. Galarian Cursola can then protect Giratina ex until the latter gathers enough Energy for a Chaotic Impact sweep.

Poliwrath ex is the deck's primary attacker, being able to do 100 to 140 damage for only 3 Energy. This is very easy to achieve if you have Mantyke in the early game to accelerate 1 Water Energy onto your Poliwag.
Lucario and Red give Poliwrath ex damage boosts, which can be helpful if you did not draw Mantyke on the first turn.
You may use Sylveon ex to help you search for the support and evolution cards that you may need.

Having an early Silvally ready can put a lot of offensive pressure on your opponents. Silvally is also notably a non-ex Pokemon, which means it only gives up one point once KOd.
Sending out a Silvally is a strong early-game play that can put you ahead in momentum.

Because Sylveon ex has a mediocre attack and low HP, it is not a good idea to have it out on the field. Its main purpose comes from its Happy Ribbon Ability, which allows you to draw 2 cards when it evolves. This works similarly to a Professor's Research, but does not use up your Supporter for the turn.
Evolve Eevee into Sylveon ex when you need that extra bit of card draw.

Giratina ex's main role in this deck is to KO higher HP Pokemon when Silvally's 100 damage isn't enough.
Make it a top priority to activate Broken-Space Bellow at the end of a turn where you don't have to attack.



Primarina ex can easily KO an Eevee with a 2-Energy Hydro Pump.
It can also notably keep itself out of KO range with Sparkling Aria which does 100 damage, but also heals 20 damage from itself.
Pair Primarina ex with cards like Irida or Lillie, and you're guaranteed to have a difficult time taking points.
