Darkrai Ex's ability to deal an additional 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you move an Energy to it pairs exceptionally well with Dawn, who facilitates Energy movement. This setup allows you to follow up with Weavile Ex's attack, which excels at dealing extra damage to an already weakened Pokemon.

The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is proving to be a formidable force in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta-game. Its quick setup time allows it to outpace decks that require more extensive preparation, making it a go-to choice for aggressive players.

• Darkrai Ex x2

The Koga deck, a personal favorite from the Genetic Apex era, has been revitalized with this new archetype. This deck is complex but rewarding to master due to its intricate mechanics. The strategy involves dealing consistent chip damage with Weezing's poison, which you can then reset using Koga when your Pokemon is in a precarious position. Additionally, Dawn aids in moving your Pokemon strategically, setting the stage for Darkrai Ex to deliver the final blow.

What makes this deck particularly appealing is the minimal Energy investment required for Weezing and Spiritomb, allowing you to focus on powering up Darkrai Ex for maximum impact.
