8Dudunsparce ex
A Big Tail…
But Is It A Big Deal?
This attack’s damage isn’t affected by any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokemon.
Dudunsparce ex isnt exactly a jaw-dropping evolutionDunsparce just got… longer.
Andas a Colorless Pokemon, it fits in any deck!
Adversarial Tail is a cheap attack that deals 60 damage per ex Pokemon on your opponents side.
If they have no ex Pokemon, it does nothing.
Play this too early, and your opponent might just dodge it entirely.
7Lillie’s Cleafairy ex
Full Bench, Full Force!
(Apply Weakness as 2.)
This attack does 20 more damage for each Benched Pokemon.
(both yours and your opponent’s).
Lillie’s Clefairy ex might not look super functional at first glance.
Unlike other ex Pokemon with flashy abilities, this one requires a more specific situation.
If your opponent isusing Dragon-jot down cards,its ability becomes handy, but otherwise, its pretty useless.
If your bench is full, youre looking at 120 damage for a bargain!
And if your opponents bench is full too, the damage goes up to 220.
6Volcanion ex
A Little Heat, A Lot Of Pain!
Move an Energy from this Pokemon to 1 of your Benched Pokemon.
Volcanion ex may not hit as hard as other ex cards, dealing only 160 damage.
But unlike some other exes, it doesnt suffer from a stun or energy loss after attacking.
Instead, you transfer energy to another Pokemon on the bench.
Volcanions ability also gives the opponent the Burned effect, dealing 20 damage each turn.
So while its busy setting things on fire, youre stacking up guaranteed damage.
Its a solid way to wear down your opponent, especially in the early game!
5Ionos Bellibolt ex
Its Not Lazy, Its Recharging!
During your next turn, this Pokemon can’t attack.
Ionos Bellibolt ex keeps things simple with just one attackbut oh boy, what an attack!
It deals 230 damage, but just like Hops Zacian ex, it takes a break next turn.
Once during your turn, you may draw 2 cards.
Choose 1 of your Benched N’s Pokemon’s attacks and use it as this attack.
Stealing Ns Reshirams Virtuous Flame for 170 damage?
Sounds like a solid deal.
Or maybe theres an even better attack waiting for youZoroarks got options!
(Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon.)
During your next turn, this Pokemon can’t use Brave Slash.
Hops Zacian ex is basic Pokemon that brings anything but basic gameplay!
Drop it on the field fast, and your opponent is in for a rough time.
Insta-Strike deals 30 damage to both the active and a benched Pokemonannoying if they’re not ex cards!
Brave Slash hits hard at 240 damage but takes a breather before swinging again.
Still, that kind of power is no joke!
And if youve got Hops Snorlax in play, Zacian ex hits even harder with an extra 30 damage.
Moral of the story?
Hops team doesnt mess around!
2Salamance ex
A Little Patience, A Lot Of Destruction!
(Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon.)
Discard 2 Energy from this Pokemon.
Being a Stage Two Pokemon means it takes time to set up, but it’s worth the wait.
Is the Pokemon TCg’s Paldea Partners tin still worth picking up?
Then theres Dragon Impact, a monstrous 300-damage attack!
You have to discard two Energy from Salamence after using it.
So, while this dragon is ready to wreak havoc, youll need to time your attacks wisely!
1Mamoswine ex
Get Ready To Rumble, Mamoswines Here!
Then, shuffle your deck.
This attack does 40 more damage for each Stage 2 Pokemon on your Bench.
Its ability, though, is the real winnerit lets you search your deck for a Pokemon each turn.
This is a game-changer, helping you find your powerhouse cards or evolutions quickly.
The ability itself is in perfect synergy with its attack, making Mamoswine a true powerhouse!
