Articuno ex Deck - Pros / Cons

High Consistency with Articuno ex Only
Strong Energy Acceleration from Misty
High Dependency on Misty

High Consistency with Articuno ex Only

Since Articuno ex is the only Basic Pokemon in the deck, you will always start with Articuno ex. With no need for Evolve Pokemon, attaching Energy and attacking with Articuno ex is consistently achievable, which is a strong advantage.

Poke Ball Guarantees Articuno

As Articuno ex is the only Basic Pokemon in the deck, using Poke Ball guarantees you can draw Articuno ex. This consistency is further enhanced by the ease of playing two Articuno ex in the deck.

Strong Energy Acceleration from Misty

Misty allows you to attach Water Energy, accelerating the timing of attacks. With a successful Misty Energy attachment, even a first-turn attack becomes possible.

High Dependency on Misty

Although Misty’s Energy Acceleration is useful in battles, it still needs two turns to attack if the coin flip fails. This delay against fast-paced decks can result in losing momentum.

Articuno ex Deck Strategy

Plan Your Strategy with Supporters
Place Fossils with the Second Articuno
Efficient Use of Extra Poke Balls

Plan Your Strategy with Supporters

Since Articuno ex is your only attacker, the main challenge is effectively using the 8 Supporters in your deck. Typically, prioritize Misty; however, if you don’t have a second Articuno on the Bench, use Professor’s Research to find it.

Place Fossils with the Second Articuno

The Fossils act as a buffer to prevent Sabrina from calling out an unprepared Articuno ex from your Bench. Don’t place a Fossil immediately when drawn; instead, place it alongside your second Articuno. If the first Articuno is Knocked Out, be sure to Discard the Fossil.

Efficient Use of Extra Poke Balls

Due to the deck composition, a second Poke Ball is often redundant. Use the extra Poke Ball to manage your hand based on your strategy: “play it if you want to hold other cards as a buffer against Red Card” or “don’t play it if you want to swap your hand and trigger Red Card.”
