While players are still getting to grips with the game's new cards and which ones will be battle-ready, one deck featuring W♊eavile ex and Darkrai ex has already started to rise to prominence.

Darkrai Ex and Weavile Ex Stake A Claim As The New Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Meta

There are plent♔y o🔯f cards that look like they're going to be viable from Pokemon TCG Pocket's Space-Time Smackdown. Honchkrow was initially scoped as a Mewtwo ex killer, Palkia ex is a card that looks set to strengthen Water-type decks, Lucario adds a lot of power to Fighting-t🔴ype decks, and the new 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Tools make Druddigon even more of a p𒐪ain.

One deck, however, featuring Darkrai ex and Weavile ex is less speculative and is already destroying 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mewtwo ex decks. The two Pokemon complement each other perfectly, c𒐪ausing trouble for most decks, but especially those weak to Dark-type moves.

Darkrai ex, from the bench, can deal 20 damage to the opponent's active Pokemon every time a Dark-type energy is attached to it; given that it's a basic Pokemon, it's a more versatile, slightly flawed version of Greninja. Weavile ex, at the cost of one Dark-type energy, deals 30 damage with its Scratching Nails attack. However, if the active Pokemon has any damage on it, it deals an extra 40 damage. Given that Darkrai ex ca🍌n damage from the bench, you should be able to hit for 70 pretty quickly, or 90 if the opponent's Pokemon is weak to Dark🐎.

Given that Mewtwo🌞 ex has 150 HP, Scratchinꦅg Nails should be a two-turn KO, all at the cost of one energy.

It's an exciting new deck, set to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:counter the game's most prolific, and it will be🅰 interesting to see what effect it has on the wideꦍr meta.
