The *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Space-Time Smackdown expansion injected a jolt of excitement into the metagame, and Darkrai ex is arguably the star of the show. Its unique abilities have spawned several powerful deck archetypes. Here are some of the best Darkrai ex decks to build in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*.

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Best Darkrai ex Decks

Darkrai ex/Weavile ex

This deck utilizes the synergy between Darkrai ex and Weavile ex to deliver devastating blows.

• Sneasel x2
• Weavile ex x2
• Murkrow x2
• Honchkrow x2
• Darkrai ex x2
• Dawn x2
• Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Great Cape x2

Darkrai ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when energy is moved to it pairs perfectly with Dawn, facilitating energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on pre-weakened opponents, dealing amplified damage. This combination creates a fast, aggressive strategy that overwhelms slower decks.

Darkrai ex Koga Bounce

This deck offers a more intricate, control-oriented approach.

• Koffing (GA) x2
• Weezing x2
• Spiritomb
• Darkrai ex x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Potion
• Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
• Dawn x2
• Giant Cape x2
• Koga's Trap x2

This strategy revolves around Weezing's poison damage and Koga's Trap to reset the board when needed. Lea's ability to move Pokémon around adds further tactical flexibility. The goal is to chip away at the opponent's health with poison before unleashing Darkrai ex for the knockout blow. Weezing and Spiritomb's low energy requirements ensure ample energy remains for Darkrai ex's attacks.

These are just two examples of effective Darkrai ex decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Experimentation and refinement are key to mastering these strategies and finding what works best for your playstyle. For more Pokémon TCG Pocket tips and strategies, check out The Escapist.
