Mewtwo ex Deck

Mewtwo ex Deck

Mewtwo ex Deck utilizes Gardevoir's ability so that Mewtwo ex can continuously use Psydrive. 150 damage can one-shot most of the Pokemon in the current format, which is very powerful.

All the Pokemon are Included in Genetic Apex Mewtwo

Cards needed to build the deck with the exception of Sabrina, can be drawn from the Genetic Apex Mewtwo booster packs, making the deck fairly easy to collect. We highly recommend spending some of your Pack Points to purchase Sabrina, as she is an exceptionally powerful and versatile Support card.

Pikachu ex Deck

Pikachu ex Deck

Pikachu ex Deck puts Lightning Pokemon in the bench and attacks using Circle Circuit to deal 90 damage. The main damage dealer is a basic Pokemon making it very easy to use.

Collecting 2 Copies Each of 2 ex Cards is Difficult

Pikachu ex deck requires 2 copies of 2 different ex cards, making it harder to build than a deck with only 1 type of ex card.

Articuno ex Deck

Articuno ex Deck

The characteristic of the Articuno ex Deck is that the only Pokemon in the deck is Articuno ex. Use Misty to boost Articuno ex's energy and attack using Blizzard from the early game.

Blaine Deck

Blaine Deck

Blaine deck enhances Rapidash and Ninetales using Blaine. All the cards in the deck are from Genetic Apex Charizard and Promo cards, so the deck is very easy to build but is also powerful.
