Top Arceus Ex Decks for Pokemon TCG Pocket

The God of all Pokémon has made an early entrance into *Pokémon TCG Pocket*, bringing with it a suite of synergistic Pokémon that enhance its formidable presence. Arceus Ex is a game-changer, and here are the best decks to harness its power in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*.

Best Arceus Ex Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Arceus Ex boasts an ability that renders it immune to status conditions like Sleep and Confused. Its Ultimate Force attack packs a punch, dealing 70 damage plus an additional 20 for each benched Pokémon with just 3 Colorless energy. When fully powered up, it delivers a whopping 130 damage.

Arceus Ex synergizes brilliantly with eight Pokémon from the Triumphant Light expansion, each with a unique "link" ability that activates in the presence of an Arceus Ex or a regular Arceus:

• 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 stand out as the most potent allies. Let's dive into the best Arceus Ex decks featuring these powerful Pokémon.

Crobat (Dark Energy)

Deck List:

• 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 focuses on two primary attackers: Crobat and Arceus Ex. With Arceus Ex in play, Crobat can deal 30 damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon 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 power up with three Colorless energies.

With Arceus Ex fully powered on the bench, you can retreat Crobat for free, dealing 130 damage if you have a full bench. Farfetch’d adds pressure, while Spiritomb spreads damage to your opponent’s bench, setting up knockouts with Cyrus.

Dialga Ex/Magnezone (Metal Energy)

Deck List:

• 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 main attacker, backed by both versions of Magnezone. The Triumphant Light Magnezone reduces damage taken by 30 with Arceus Ex in play, while the Genetic Apex version deals 110 damage after using Magneton's Volt Charge ability at least once. Timing the evolution correctly is crucial, as the Genetic Apex Magneton can't use Metal energy.

To maximize Arceus Ex's damage output, Skarmory is included, along with Giant’s Capes and a Rocky Helmet to help Dialga Ex and Arceus Ex withstand heavy hits while powering up Skarmory.

Heatran (Fire Energy)

Deck List:

• 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 is a high-octane Fire type strategy, similar to the classic Ninetails Blaine deck. Heatran, Rapidash, and Farfetch’d apply early pressure with minimal energy requirements, while Arceus Ex powers up on the bench. Giant’s Cape keeps Heatran alive and pushes Arceus Ex above the crucial 150 HP threshold.

With Arceus Ex on the field, Heatran can retreat for free, allowing for flexible swaps between Pokémon at a low energy cost. Heatran's Ragin' Fury attack deals 80 damage for two Fire energies if it's been damaged; otherwise, it hits for 40, which is often enough early in a match.

As *Pokémon TCG Pocket* evolves, more strategies with Arceus Ex will emerge. For now, these are the top decks to dominate with this legendary Pokémon.
