Everyone loves Charizard, so it was just about time for him to get a powerful card in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon TCG. Thankfully, our favorite fiery dragon is here with us, but it has some changes. This Charizard ♑ex is terastallized, which means it is now a Dark-type card.
Nonetheless, being a Dark-type card doesn't make Charizard ex lousy; with the right company, as you'll see in this deck, Charizard will be able to deal damage from turn two, and it's also able to help you cut the distance between you and your opponent when you are losing. Let's take a look at it.

Charizard Ex Deck Key Cards
Charizard ex isn't the only important card in this deck; it needs help to work like magic. So, here's a list of the most important cards of this deck, alongside their usage and role in the deck.
Charizard Ex
Charizard Ex is the protagonist of this deck. It is a Dark-type because it is a terastallized card, meaning it'll deal Dark-type damage even thou﷽gh you must put Fire-type Energy cards on it to attack.
You don't need any sort of Dark-type Energy Card in this deck, and remember, this Charizard isn't a Fire-type card.
This card has an ability named Infernal Reign. With it, if you evolve a Charmander (via Rare Candy) or a Charmeleon into this card, you can search three basic Fire Energy Cards in your deck and attach them to any Pokemon you want.
Infernal Reign will be the ability you'll be using to charge Charizard to attack, and it's the one that lets you attack on turn two if you manage to find a Rare Candy.
Aside from Infernal Reign, Charizard has an attack named Burning Darkness, which deals 180 damage, plus 30 per each Prize Card your opponent has taken during the match.
In an ideal situation where your opponent has taken five Prize Cards, Charizard can deal 330 damage, more than enough to takꦆe out a mirror Charizard, any other ex card, and a vast majority of VSTAR cards.
Pidgeot ex
Pidgeot is the main engine of this deck. This is because it has a remarkable ability named Quick Search. This ability lets you search for any card in your deck each turn.
The only drawback this ability has is that you can't use it more than once on each turn, 💮so having more than a Pidgeot on your bench is a bit use🌸less.
But that's not all, as Pidgeot also has an attack named Blustery Wind. This attack deals 120 damage, which is very decent in the early stages of the match, and also lets you discard a Stadium in play, which is great to use꧑ against Path to the Peak users.
Arceus VSTAR
Arceus VSTAR is your secondary attacker. It's in your deck for those moments when you don't find a Charizard ex, but you really need to attack.
Arceus VSTAR has an attack named Trinity Nova, which deals 200 damage and can let you look for three basic Energy Cards on your deck and attach them to your Pokemon V. This deck doesn't have Pokemon V, so the damage is the only thing that matters here.
Aside from Trinity Nova, you can also use Arceus' VSTAR Power, named Starbirth, which lets you search for two cards in your deck and put them in your hand.
You can only use Starbirth once in a game.
You might want to use Starbirth in the early stages of the match, and if you don't find a Charizard ex or some Rare Candies to evolve those Charmander into Charizard.
Radiant Charizard
Radiant Charizard fits in this deck for two reasons: it's Dark-type, and can be a great option if you are behind in the match. Radiant Charizard can be in the field while you are setting up a Charizard ex in your bench, and your opponent will only get a single Prize Card out of it if it gets defeated.
This card is good when you are behind in the match because of its ability, Excited Heart, which makes its attack cost an Energy less for each Prize Card your opponent has claimed.
Radiant Charizard's attack is named Combustion Blast, which deals 250 damage but can't be used in two consecutive turns.
Use this card only if you🍸 are suiting a Charizard ex on your bench. Retreating it costs three Energy Cards, which is a lot. Alternatively, you can switch it with an Escape Rope.
Manaphy
Manaphy protects your benched Pokemon from being damaged with its ability, Wave Veil. That's all it'll do in this deck.
Manaphy is a must in this meta; you can't leave it out of your deck because you are at risk of being dismantled by a Radiant Greninja, who can damage your benched Pokemon.
Mew And Rare Candy
The Rare Candy lets you skip an evolution stage, which means you can evolve Charmander into Charizard and Pidgey into Pidgeot in a single turn. That's why this deck doesn't use a Pidgeotto card.
The thing is that finding thos🥃e Rare Candies can be complicated. Thankfully, Mew is in this deck.
Mew has an ability named Mysterious Tail, which requires it to be in the Active Spot and lets you grab an item card out of the top six cards of your deck.
Iono
Iono has become a big card in the meta, because it's a wonderful card to use when you fall behind in the match.
If you use Iono, you and your opponent must send your hands to the bottom of the deck. Then, both will draw a card for each unclaimed Prize Card.
In other words, if your opponent has only one Prize Card left to claim, and you use Iono, they'll only have one card in their hand.
Artazon
Artazon has two functions in this deck: It lets you find a Basic Pokémon on your deck and remove a Stadium in play.
Removing a Stadium in play is vital as this deck can suffer a lot from Path to the Peak, and, as this deck is famous, you'll have to deal with many of these Stadiums in your matches.
Charizard ex Deck Strategy
This deck has a very straightforward strategy. First, you must try to go first in the match, because there's no chance to attack on your first turn, and you must build yourself as soon as possible.
In the first turn, your objective is to find Charmander, Pidgey, and, if your opponent has a Radiant Greninja, a Manaphy to protect them.
You also need some items, so if you are on the play, you can try to find Mew. It's essential, as it'll be helpful to look for a Rare Candy to evolve your Pokemon.
If everything goes well, you'll be attacking on your second turn. The second turn must be focused on evolving Pidgey to Pidgeot, so it can use Quick Search to find a Rare Candy to evolve Charmander into Charizard. As C꧅harizar꧂d evolves, it can suit itself to attack.
Charizard ex Deck Common Threats
This deck will suffer a lot if Path to the Peak is on the field. This is because Path to the Peak forces all the V and ex Pokemon to have no abilities. Charizard ex will꧅ be unable to use Infernal Reign, and Pidgeot will not be able to use Quick Searc🏅h.
Thankfully, Pidgeot doesn't need abilities to attack; that's why you have Double Turbo Energy Cards on your deck. You just have to find one of them, set it on Pidgeot, and make it use its attack, Blustery Wind, to get rid of Path to the Peak.
You can also use Artazon to remove Path to the P෴eak, and alternatively, you can change🏅 Artazon for Lost Vacuum.
