Aerodactyl Ex and Marshadow can become a deadly duo that doesn’t let your enemy’s Pokemon evolve.
Learn more about this Pokemon TCG Pocket deck.
Dawnis the biggest star here.
Energy flexibility opens lots of doors for decks, butEnergy-hungry cards like Infernape enjoy it the most.
But if you don’t have all the cards just yet,you could always improvise with something else.
Giant Cape’s main goal is to avoid 1-hit knockouts, butyou can add Potions instead.
It does come at the cost ofbeing an easier target for Palkia decks, though.
But sincethis deck isn’t much about spreading damage, this is more of a preference than a must.
If you don’t want to play two Sabrinas,you’re free to slot in a Giovanni.
Lastly, you might always slot inX Speed/Leaf for free Retreats.
It’ll probably remind youof Genetic Apex Charizard ex, since both cards work the same way.
It also serves as a backup plan for attacks if you take longer than expected to get Infernape out.
An ideal starting hand consists ofMoltres, Chimchar, Giant Cape, Monferno, and Infernape.
Cards like Pokemon Communication, Poke Ball, and Professor’s Research are welcome, as always.
Pokemon Communication shouldalways be used on cards you already have on the field.
Infernape discards all Energy attached to it when it attacks, so more than 2 is always a waste.
Moltres has the bigger Energy costs, so he’s a priority in this case.
Your turn Energies should be fed to your active Moltresso they can use Heat Blast.
Otherwise, just use it to retreat.
After Infernape attacks once, retreat it oruse Dawn to take one Energy from a benched Pokemon.
Combine it with your turn Energy and you’re able to attack once again.
Palkia Ex
Palkia is much harder to face.
It starts attacking with a single Energy, andManaphy/Misty can quickly boost it to an attacking position.
Magnezone also has an advantage against Moltres, so it’s a bigger problem than it seems.
Yanmega ex can be one-shot as well.
Its most common partners are Exeggutor and Dialga, whose weakness to fire allows you to one-shot them too.
Of all the wonderful promotional cards in Pokemon Pocket, which one has the best artwork?
