Darkrai ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage by moving Energy synergizes perfectly with Dawn, facilitating Energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on this weakened opponent, dealing increased damage.
This Darkrai ex/Weavile ex combination is currently highly effective in the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta. Its rapid setup outpaces many decks requiring longer preparation.
Darkrai ex Koga Bounce
- Koffing (GA) x2
- Weezing x2
- Spiritomb
- Darkrai ex x2
- Professor's Research x2

- Potion
- Cyrus's Initiative x2
- Dawn x2

The Koga deck, a favorite from the Genetic Apex era, receives a boost with this build.
This deck's complexity is also its strength. Weezing inflicts gradual poison damage, while Koga resets the board when needed. Dawn aids Pokémon movement, setting up Darkrai ex for powerful attacks after opponents are weakened by poison. Weezing and Spiritomb require minimal Energy investment, leaving more for Darkrai ex.
