1 Double Turbo Energy BRS 151Pidgeot ex sits in the back and starts searching for the cards you need to set up your win condition. Charmander + Charizard ex + Rare Candy is usually the go-to play to have a Charizard ex as soon as possible. From there, Charizard ex carried the game with Burning Darkness that gains more damage the more Prize cards your opponent takes. You don’t have to worry about attaching Energy to Charizard ex, his Infernal Reign will look into your deck for three Basic Fire Energy and attach them.

Teal Mask Ogerpon ex can attach a Basic Grass Energy through Teal Dance ability and at the same time, it draws a card. So you’re not losing card value, and you’re attaching Basic Energy for Ranging Bolt ex to discard and power up Bellowing Thunder’s damage.

2 Ancient Booster Energy Capsule TEF 140
3 PokéStop PGO 68
Energy: 9
7 Darkness Energy SVE 7
2 Water Energy SVE 3Roaring Moon ex relies on Calamity Storm as a damage dealer, but it has to discard a Stadium in play for the Power boost. However, Frenzied Gouging can knock out Pokemon with more than 220 HP, but the drawback is that Roaring Moon will deal 200 damage to itself, putting you at risk of a knockout on the upcoming turn.

2 Area Zero Underdepths SCR 131
Energy: 16
14 Lightning Energy SVE 4
2 Double Turbo Energy BRS 151This is another meta call, mostly because it has a great matchup against Lugia and Gardevoir, two decks that are expected to have a high representation in Worlds.
Miraidon ex is the main damage dealer, threatening 220 damage with its Phantom Blaster. However, once activated, you can’t attack on the upcoming turn with Miraidon ex.

4 Double Turbo Energy BRS 151This is a meta call, which uses Iron Thorn’s Initialization to take advantage of decks that rely on their Pokemon’s abilities. By shutting opponents from activating their Pokemon’s Ability, you’re slowing them down immensely, giving you enough time to start Knocking Out their Pokemon with Iron Thorn’s Volt Cyclone.
