Darkrai Ex's ability to deal an additional 20 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon when you move an Energy to it synergizes exceptionally well with Dawn, who enables you to maneuver Energy around the board. This setup can be followed by a devastating attack from Weavile Ex, who capitalizes on weakened foes for extra damage.
The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination has become a dominant force in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta-game. Its quick setup and aggressive playstyle make it a formidable choice against decks that require more time to establish their strategy.

- Darkrai Ex x2
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Potion x2

- Koga x2
The Koga deck has always been a personal favorite of mine, particularly from the Genetic Apex days, and its resurgence with Darkrai Ex is a welcome development. Mastering this deck can be challenging due to its complexity, but this is also where its strength lies.
The strategy involves dealing consistent chip damage with Weezing's poison effect and using Koga to reset the board when necessary. Dawn assists with repositioning your Pokemon, aiming to weaken opponents with poison before striking decisively with Darkrai Ex.
A significant advantage of this deck is that both Weezing and Spiritomb require minimal Energy, allowing you to focus more resources on powering up Darkrai Ex for maximum impact.
