Weaknesses: • Umbreon ex does not deal much damage by itself. • Sylveon ex has low HP, making it susceptible to getting gusted by Cyrus and KOd.

Umbreon ex and Greninja Deck

Froakie ×2	Greninja ×2	Darkrai ex ×2	Umbreon ex ×2
Eevee ×2	Giant Cape ×1	Rare Candy ×2	Lyra ×2
Poke Ball ×2	Red Card ×1	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Umbreon ex's Dark Chase is made even more effective when played with Greninja's Water Shuriken.

These two Pokemon allow you to have precision in the damage and KOs that you take. While you may not always have the highest damage output, this deck's strength is in its ability to target and gust any Pokemon.

Consider loading up Umbreon ex first with Energy, instead of Darkrai ex because Umbreon ex will be able to attack for 80 sooner.

Expansions	Cards to Get and Packs to Open
Genetic Apex (A1)	Froakie x 2 (Charizard Pack) Greninja x 2 (Charizard Pack)

Alternate Card Suggestions

Alternate Cards	Possible Cuts
Eevee (A3b 055)	→ • You can use Eevee Grove's Eevee to give you the option to draw a card instead of a guaranteed Pokemon search. This is useful for finding important Trainer Cards like Supporters or Rare Candy.

Eevee Bag ×2	Dark Pendant ×2	Silver ×1	Poke Ball ×2
Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Umbreon ex is played with Darkrai ex in this deck, functioning as a one-two combo of powerful Dark-types. This deck also runs a single copy of non-ex Umbreon to help against Giratina ex and Darkrai ex decks, as well as Pom-Pom Oricorio decks.

Because this deck runs multiple Eeveelutions, Eevee Bag can be used to either increase the damage output of Umbreon and Umbreon ex, or heal HP and keep them out of KO range.

Energy Used

The Giratina ex and Darkrai ex core with a 2-2 Umbreon ex line gains the ability to target down any Pokemon on your opponent's bench if they have damage on them.

Lyra gives the deck added mobility, allowing you to switch out Pokemon as long as they have damage.

Silver can be disruptive, denying your opponents of a Supporter card for their turn.

Energy Used

Crobat ex is this deck's main attacker. Its cheap one-cost Attack can allow you attach subsequent Energies to Darkrai ex and pile on even more damage.

A single Sylveon ex is included to give you an option to draw cards when you need it.

Silver can be disruptive, denying your opponents of a Supporter card for their turn. Dark Pendant synergizes with Silver, reducing your opponent's options even further.

Umbreon ex Deck Strategy Guide

Use Dark Chase to Gust Up Damaged Pokemon

Umbreon ex's Dark Chase lets you gust up a damaged Pokemon if Umbreon ex is in the Active Spot. This lets you take important and decisive KOs on key Pokemon when you have to.

How to Beat Umbreon ex Decks

Attack Umbreon ex for Weakness

Grass-types can deal increased damage to Umbreon ex, with the most efficient Grass-types for this purpose being Pheromosa or Kartana. Buzzwole ex also handily OHKOs Umbreon ex with Big Beat.

Leafeon ex can also threaten KOs and damage on our Pokemon with its ability to set up fast.

Best Leafeon ex Decks and Card List

Mitigate Damage with Healing Cards

Healing your Pokemon of damage can make Umbreon ex unable to gust it up with Dark Chase. Shaymin can offer incremental healing and keep your Pokemon healthy enough to avoid getting gusted or KOd by Umbreon ex.
