Giratina ex Darkrai ex
Explanation
Darkrai ex Giratina ex is one of the most consistent decks in the A3 meta, using Darkrai ex for its Nightmare Aura to ping the opponent’s Active Pokemon for 20 damage every time you attach a Darkness Energy to your Darkrai ex. It can then become an attacker, pushing 80 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokémon with Dark Prism.
As you’re attaching Energy to Darkrai ex, you’ll be ramping Psychic Energy with Giratina ex’s Broken-Space Below, trying to get to 3 Psychic Energy before attaching a Darkness Energy and going for the attack. Giratina ex’s Chaotic Impact deals 130 damage, so it’s the heavy attacker in this list. On the downside, Giratina ex will deal 20 damage back to itself, putting it down to 130 HP, more vulnerable to the opponent’s upcoming turn.
Red can be a lifesaver in this list, allowing you to set up a one-shot turn to remove an opponent’s win condition or potentially win the game on the spot.
Buzzwole ex Celesteela
This deck uses Pheromosa as an early attacker, dealing 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokémon and another 20 to the Benched Pokémon. As you’re chopping at the opponent’s HP, you’ll be building up your Buzzwole ex to take over.
Buzzwole ex is our carry, dealing 120 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokémon with its Big Beat attack. However, you can’t activate the attack on the upcoming turn, so we’ll be relying on Celesteela to switch out our Ultra Beast Pokémon without worrying about their retreat costs.
We want the opposing player to get a knockout, getting our Lusamine online to attach 2 Random Energy from our discard Pile to one of our Ultra Beast Pokemon, enabling us to attack with Buzzwole ex on earlier turns.
Espeon ex Sylveon ex
The Psychic deck relies on Sylveon ex for the card draw through its Happy Ribbon ability to add more resources to your hand and find all the right pieces. It can also go for a 70 damage attack, potentially getting a knockout after two strikes.
As for Espeon ex, it’s allowing us to heal one of our Pokémon for 30 damage through its Psychic Healing ability. Espeon ex has to be in the Active spot for this ability to activate, making it harder for the opposing player to get a knockout. Super Psy Bolt is dealing 80 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon, so you’re putting more pressure with Espeon ex’s attacks.
Flareon ex Leafeon ex Sylveon ex
The Eevolution deck running Leafeon ex, Flareon ex, and Sylveon ex as win conditions. Sylveon ex is there for the added value from Happy Ribbon, but for the damage dealing, we’ll be relying on Leafeon ex and Flareon ex.
Leafeon ex and Flareon ex can ramp Energy through their abilities, allowing them to attack on earlier turns. Leafeon ex is dealing 70 damage with its Solar Beam attack, but the real heavy attacks are from Flareon ex, pushing 130 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon, but as a drawback, you have to discard 2 Fire Energy.
