Energy Used

Alolan Ninetales ex becomes even more disruptive when played with Crawdaunt and its Unruly Claw Ability. Opponents can be denied Energy completely with Binding Snow and Unruly Claw.

Alolan Ninetales ex Deck Strategy Guide

Be Disruptive with Alolan Ninetales ex

Aim to quickly set up Alolan Ninetales ex as early as turn 2. Once it is set up, keep using Binding Snow until your opponent's Pokemon are knocked out. without letting it retaliate.

Use Greninja with Cyrus

The Greninja + Cyrus combo is a highly effective combo at high levels of play. Being able to choose which Pokemon to damage, and which Pokemon of your opponent's go to the Active Spot can often win you games. Having these options are the main reason why Greninja decks have remained on top of Tier Lists for so long.

How to Beat Alolan Ninetales ex Decks

Use Cards that Attach Energy from the Discard Pile

While disruptive, Alolan Ninetales ex can only restrict opponents from attaching Energy from their Discard Piles.

A play that you can make is not attaching Energy for the turn, to send Energy to the Discard Pile. This lets you use cards like Volkner, Lusamine, or Flame Patch to attach it to your Pokemon.

Prevent Alolan Ninetales ex from Setting Up

Alolan Ninetales's Binding Snow also has a restrictive 2 Water Attack Cost. Gusting it out with Greninja + Cyrus can put the Alolan Ninetales player at a severe disadvantage, because you will be preventing it from successfully setting up.
