Darkrai Ex brings a powerful ability to the table, allowing it to inflict an additional 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you transfer an Energy to it. This ability synergizes exceptionally well with Dawn, who facilitates Energy movement. Following this, you can unleash an attack from Weavile Ex, which can deal extra damage to an already weakened Pokemon.
The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination has emerged as a formidable force in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta-game. Its quick setup and relentless damage output make it a challenging opponent for decks that require more time to establish their strategy.

The Koga deck, a favorite from the Genetic Apex era, has been revitalized with this new archetype, much to the delight of many players, including myself.
Mastering this deck can be challenging due to its complex mechanics, but this complexity is also its strength. The strategy involves dealing consistent chip damage through Weezing’s poison effect and using Koga to reset the board when necessary. Additionally, Leag aids in repositioning your Pokemon, setting the stage for softening up your opponents with poison before delivering a decisive blow with Darkrai Ex.
A key advantage of this deck is the low Energy requirement for Weezing and Spiritomb, allowing you to focus more Energy on Darkrai Ex to maximize its damage potential.
