Top Arceus Ex Decks for Pokemon TCG Pocket

Arceus Ex, known as the God of all Pokemon, has made an early entrance into *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, shaking up the digital card game scene with its powerful abilities and synergies. Here's a breakdown of the best Arceus Ex decks that you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* to dominate your opponents.

Best Arceus Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Arceus Ex stands out with its immunity to debilitating status conditions like Sleep and Confused. Its Ultimate Force attack delivers 70 damage, plus an additional 20 damage for each benched Pokemon, requiring just 3 Colorless energy. When fully powered up with a full bench, Arceus Ex can hit a whopping 130 damage, making it a formidable force on the battlefield.

Moreover, Arceus Ex synergizes seamlessly with eight different Pokemon from the Triumphant Light expansion pack, each with a unique "link" ability that activates when an Arceus Ex or regular Arceus is in play. These Pokemon include:

• Carnivine (Power Link)
• Heatran (Speed Link)
• Abomasnow (Vigor Link)
• Raichu (Resilience Link)
• Rotom (Speed Link)
• Tyranitar (Power Link)
• Crobat (Cunning Link)
• Magnezone (Resilience Link)

Among these, Crobat, Magnezone, and Heatran emerge as the most potent allies for Arceus Ex. Let's dive into the deck compositions that leverage these synergies:

Crobat (Dark Energy)

• 2x Arceus Ex
• 2x Zubat (Triumphant Light)
• 2x Golbat (Genetic Apex)
• 2x Crobat
• 1x Spiritomb
• 1x Farfetch’d
• 2x Professor’s Research
• 2x Dawn
• 2x Cyrus
• 2x Poke Ball
• 2x Pokemon Communication

This deck features two primary attackers: Crobat and Arceus Ex. With Arceus Ex in play, Crobat can deal 30 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon even from the bench. Additionally, Crobat hits for 50 damage with just one Dark energy, making it an excellent partner for Arceus Ex, which you'll want to fully power up with three Colorless energy.

With Arceus Ex powered up on the bench, you can retreat Crobat into it for free, as Crobat has no retreat cost, allowing you to hit your opponent for 130 damage with a full bench. Farfetch’d adds pressure, while Spiritomb spreads damage across your opponent’s bench, setting up knockouts with Cyrus.

Dialga Ex/Magnezone (Metal Energy)

• 2x Arceus Ex
• 2x Dialga Ex
• 2x Magnemite (Triumphant Light)
• 2x Magneton (Genetic Apex)
• 1x Magnezone (Triumphant Light)
• 1x Magnezone (Genetic Apex)
• 1x Skarmory
• 2x Professor’s Research
• 2x Leaf
• 2x Giant’s Cape
• 1x Rocky Helmet
• 2x Poke Ball

In this deck, Arceus Ex serves as the primary attacker, with both versions of Magnezone providing backup. The Triumphant Light Magnezone takes -30 damage when Arceus Ex is around, while the Genetic Apex Magnezone deals 110 damage after using Magneton's Volt Charge ability at least once. Remember, you can't attach Metal energy to the Genetic Apex Magneton as it's an Electric type, so timing your evolution is crucial.

To maximize Arceus Ex's damage output, you'll need a full bench. Skarmory, along with 2x Giant’s Cape and a single Rocky Helmet, helps ensure your Dialga Ex and Arceus Ex survive long enough to power up Skarmory and reach that 130 damage threshold.

Heatran (Fire Energy)

• 2x Arceus Ex
• 2x Heatran (Triumphant Light)
• 2x Ponyta (Mythical Island)
• 2x Rapidash (Genetic Apex)
• 1x Farfetch’d
• 2x Professor’s Research
• 1x Blaine
• 1x Cyrus
• 1x Dawn
• 2x Giant’s Cape
• 2x Poke Ball
• 2x X Speed

This deck offers a more aggressive approach with a rush-down Fire type strategy, reminiscent of the Ninetails Blaine deck. You'll want to threaten your opponent early with Heatran, Rapidash, and Farfetch’d, which require minimal energy to activate, while powering up your Arceus Ex on the bench. Giant’s Cape keeps Heatran alive longer and boosts Arceus Ex past the crucial 150 HP mark.

With Arceus Ex in play, Heatran can retreat for free, allowing you to switch between your Pokemon with minimal energy cost. Heatran's Ragin’ Fury attack hits for 80 damage with two Fire energies if it has been damaged; otherwise, it deals 40 damage, which can still be significant early in the game.

As the meta evolves, more strategies involving Arceus Ex will undoubtedly emerge. For now, these are the top decks you can use to harness the power of this legendary Pokemon in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
