Darkrai Ex is a powerhouse with its ability to deal an additional 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokémon when you move an Energy to it. This synergizes exceptionally well with Dawn, who facilitates moving Energy around. You can then capitalize on this setup with Weavile Ex, which delivers extra damage to a Pokémon that’s already been weakened.
The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is currently a dominant force in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta-game. It's quick to build and highly effective against decks that require more time to set up, making it a lethal choice for players looking to strike fast and hard.

As someone who enjoyed the Koga deck during the Genetic Apex era, I'm thrilled to see this archetype getting a boost. The Darkrai Ex Koga Bounce deck can be challenging to master due to its complexity, but that's precisely where its strength shines. The strategy revolves around dealing chip damage with Weezing's poison over time and using Koga to reset your cards when needed. Leag also aids in repositioning your Pokémon, aiming to weaken opponents with poison before striking with Darkrai Ex.
A significant advantage of this deck is that Weezing and Spiritomb require minimal Energy investment, allowing you to focus more Energy on Darkrai Ex to maximize damage output.
