Recommended Decks

Suicune ex and Greninja Deck

Froakie ×2 Greninja ×2 Giratina ex ×1 Suicune ex ×2
Pokemon Communication ×1 Giant Cape ×1 Cyrus ×2 Mars ×1
Irida ×2 Rare Candy ×2 Poke Ball ×2 Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used
Water Icon

Suicune ex's Ability allows the player to draw a card at the end of the turn. This can allow Greninja to evolve quickly and do additional damage in the early game. Since Suicune ex deals low damage if the opponent's Bench isn't filled out, Greninja can act as a useful support.

Suicune ex may not have enough damage in the late game. Giratina ex may act as a finisher once it is set up being able to deal consistent, high damage.

Best Suicune ex Decks and Card List

Luxray and Galvantula Deck

Shinx ×2 Luxio ×1 Luxray ×2 Joltik ×2
Galvantula ×2 Furfrou ×2 Sabrina ×1 Cyrus ×1
Rare Candy ×2 Copycat ×1 Poke Ball ×2 Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used
Lightning Icon

Mega Rising Luxray can do a solid 110 damage for only 2 Energy, which allows it to deal damage quickly if it has evolved early. Furfrou can be used in the Bench as a way to nullify Flash Impact's recoil.

If Luxray still needs to be set up, you may use Galvantula as an early-game attacker. Meanwhile, you can use Copycat to search for the right Trainer and evolution cards.
