You will want to use fast Lightning-type Pokemon to counter the Mega Blastoise ex deck. While Mega Blastoise ex has a powerful attack, it is a 3-evolution card with a high energy cost, which makes it slow to set up. You will want to take advantage of the slow set-up with Lightning-type Pokemon with a low attack cost like Pikachu ex or Pachirisu ex.

You will want to prevent your opponent from setting up Mega Blastoise ex too quickly, so target the energy accelerators in the deck like Manaphy.


As much as possible, target Squirtle or Wartortle before they have the chance to evolve into Mega Blastoise ex. You may have a difficult time facing Mega Blastoise ex once it is set up due to its powerful attack and bulky HP.

Mega Charizard Y ex is a powerful new Mega Pokemon ex from Crimson Blaze that has the ability to OHKO every Pokemon in the game. It comes at the cost of recoil damage, however, so careful decision-making and analysis could prove vital when piloting this deck.
Crimson Blaze Houndoom can be used as an early game attacker while building Mega Charizard ex in the bench due to its quick set-up and low-energy cost.
This deck also runs copies of Charmeleon instead of Rare Candy, because of its Ignition Ability being able to accelerate Energy to your Active Pokemon. This makes the deck even more consistent.

While using Pom-Pom Oricorio to nullify attacks from ex Pokemon, accelerate Lightning Energy to Genetic Apex Magneton with its Ability. Once set up, evolve Magneton to Crimson Blaze Magnezone.
Promote your fully-set up Magnezone to the Active Spot since it will be your main attacker. Magnezone's Mirror Shot will force the opponent to flip a coin whenever they attack. When flipping Tails, the attack does not happen. Taking advantage of this disruption will be key to victory.
