Why Choose Charizard ex?

Unique Offensive Potential
Charizard ex is the only Pokémon in the format capable of eliminating any opponent with a single attack. For example, thanks to its move, it can easily defeat powerful Pokémon like Venusaur ex or Mewtwo ex in one turn, as long as it’s properly charged with Energy through Moltres ex. Its move deals 200 damage but requires the sacrifice of 2 Energy. Using Moltres ex’s ability, you can quickly charge Charizard ex and prepare it to deliver decisive blows.

Synergy with Moltres ex
The deck relies on a solid strategy. You start with Moltres ex as the active Pokémon, using its attack Inferno Dance to accelerate Energy onto benched Pokémon. With 140 HP, Moltres ex is durable enough to accumulate Energy before making room for Charizard ex. The goal is to power up Charizard ex to repeatedly use Crimson Storm, ensuring powerful hits.

Support Cards from the "Shining Revelry" Set
Charizard ex gains additional support from the new Charmander and Charmeleon introduced in Shining Revelry. These cards allow smoother progression in the deck, reducing the resources required to evolve and attack. For example, Charmander can quickly evolve into Charmeleon due to its reduced attack costs, preparing to power up Charizard ex in fewer turns. These cards require fewer resources to be effective, making the deck more efficient.

Advanced Strategies: Charizard ex, Moltres ex, and Arcanine ex Deck

The combination of Charizard ex with Moltres ex and Arcanine ex creates a trio of Pokémon capable of handling any challenge. For instance, against an opponent with Pikachu ex as their main attacker, Arcanine ex can quickly manage the threat thanks to its speed and resilience, while Moltres ex prepares Charizard ex to finish the match with devastating strikes in subsequent turns.

Why Add Arcanine ex?

• Speed: Arcanine ex is quicker to deploy, making it ideal against fast opponents like Pikachu ex.
• Energy Efficiency: It doesn’t require the sacrifice of Energy to attack, addressing one of Charizard ex’s main weaknesses.

Perfect Synergy

• Moltres ex: Functions as the energy engine for all Fire-type Pokémon.
• Charizard ex: Shines in long games against Pokémon with more than 120 HP, like Mewtwo ex and Venusaur ex.

This setup covers each other’s weaknesses, creating a balanced and versatile deck.
