Other A Tier decks

  • Weezing EX / Hoopa EX / Mega Absol EX
    I rank this deck in A tier because of its excellent Energy flexibility: Weezing EX generates passive Poison + Burn damage without monopolizing Energy, allowing Hoopa EX or Mega Absol EX to be powered immediately. The deck is very strong and technical, but effects that prevent Special Conditions and certain specific matchups can significantly reduce its effectiveness.
  • Zoroark ex / Darkrai ex / Mega Absol ex
    Very good deck, with Roaring Moon acting like an extra “Sabrina” effect on top of a Supporter, but its anti-Oricorio plan can require a lot of energy.
  • Mega Lucario ex / Hitmontop / Shaymin
    Deck very aggressive, with a lot of draw and Shaymin to ease Riolu or Hitmontop retreats. Its main weakness is draw dependency, since there is only one Lucario and one Mega Lucario ex.
  • Magnezone / Oricorio / Ogerpon
    Very strong against the meta thanks to Oricorio + Ogerpon blocking status conditions, with fast pressure from Magnezone. However, it relies on evolution setup.
  • Charizard EX / Entei / Ogerpon
    Very fast offensive deck with strong pressure from Charizard EX and Entei, but setup-dependent and vulnerable to bad openings.
  • Mega Gengar / Darkrai
    Extremely strong once set up thanks to trainer lock, but relies on a slow and fragile setup.
