Pikachu is one of the iconic Pokemon, and you can pull a lot of variations of this Pokemon from the packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket. But the strongest version of this card is by far, the Pikachu EX variation. With a strong electric-type move, and lots of potential, using it in the right deck can be quite a game-changer. So, here's the best Pikachu EX deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
If you want to build the best deck around the Pikachu EX card , here's a complete breakdown of the cards that you need to have:
Cartão | Prioridade | No. of Copies | Razão |
---|---|---|---|
Pikachu EX | Necessário | 2 | Pikachu EX is the core of this deck. This card's true potential lies in having electric Pokemon on the bench. It can deal up to 90 damage per move with the right setup and 120 damage with trainer cards. |
Zapdos EX | Ótimo | 2 | Zapdos EX provides a strong backup and synergizes with Pikachu EX well. In case your Pikachu faints, you can use your Zapdos as a substitute. |
Voltorb | Substituível | 2 | Voltorb works as a floater card that you can use as your initial attacker, or bench card to provide Pikachu with extra attack. |
Eletrodo | Substituível | 2 | Electrode is Voltorb's evolution and provides a stronger attack, making them somewhat viable in the mid-game as well. |
O motivo pelo qual esse baralho possui apenas quatro Pokemon é ajudá -lo a girar mais rápido para o seu cartão principal (Pikachu EX) e configurar os cartões de bancos necessários como ZapDos e Voltorb.
Caso você não tenha todas as cartas para o deck do Pikachu Ex ideal, aqui estão algumas cartas alternativas para o seu baralho que você pode usar como substituto até encontrar o restante das cartas.
Cartão | Replaces | Razão |
---|---|---|
Magneton | Eletrodo | A viable substitute for Electrode, deals similar damage and can also attach extra energy orbs on itself when in the Active slot. The downside is that Magneton's move requires four orbs instead of two. |
Magnemite | Voltorb | Same as Voltorb, good as a starter, and can be used as a floater till you have Pikachu EX or Zapdos EX set up. |
Pikachu | Zapdos | In case you don't have Zapdos, you can use the regular Pikachu card as a viable support for your Pikachu EX. |
Raichu | Zapdos | Used to evolve regular Pikachu in the mid-game, and can almost one-shot most opponent cards. But you'll have to invest your energy orbs correct for the most value as they'll get discarded after every move. |
This deck needs to have 20 cards but to support your four main Pokemon cards, you'll need 12 trainer cards in your deck. To help you make the best decision, here are the best trainer cards to choose for this deck:
Cartão | Prioridade | No. of Copies | Razão |
---|---|---|---|
Giovanni | Necessário | 2 | You need to use this trainer card in tandem with Pikachu's move to almost one-shot any card, as it adds +10 damage to every attack. |
Sabrina | Ótimo | 2 | A strong trainer card that you can use to get rid of troublesome Pokemon from your opponent's active slot. |
X Speed | Ótimo | 2 | Extremely important trainer card to help you switch out your Active Pokemon when you've built up your core card. |
Poção | Bom | 2 | A good option to have around that you can use to heal your important Pokemon. |
Poke Ball | Substituível | 2 | A floater support card that you can use to quickly rotate to your core Pokemon. |
Professor's Research | Substituível | 2 | Similar to the Poke Ball, but draws two cards instead of one. |
Like every other deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, your deck alone won't be enough to help you win matches. You'll have to set them up correctly all the way from your starting hand to your late-game setup. So, here's all you need to know about that.
This deck relies on early-game dominance , which means you'll have to be aggressive from the get-go. So, when getting your first five starting cards, these are the ones you should try to get:
Quanto aos cartões de treinador, a maioria deles pode ser útil, mas você deve tentar ter pelo menos um cartão de poção para evitar deixar seu flutuador desmaiar mais cedo e uma velocidade X para alternar seu slot ativo quando sua configuração estiver pronta.
Quando você inicia um confronto nas primeiras rodadas (uma a cinco), tenta configurar um dos seus principais cartões, o Pikachu Ex ou o Zapdos EX no slot ativo com os outros tipos elétricos nos slots de bancada.
This lets you create early-game pressure as either of your core cards can take care of most early-game Pokemon that your opponent might play.
Independentemente do que configure seu oponente está tentando jogar, seu foco principal deve ser se livrar de qualquer slot ativo que seu oponente tocar nas cinco primeiras rodadas. Pikachu Ex e Zapdos, são ótimos em danos causados pelas primeiras rodadas, para que possam efetivamente interromper a maioria das configurações inimigas antes que possam atingir todo o seu potencial.
While using this deck, you'll be up against other kinds of deck. Among all the decks against which I've used the Pikachu EX deck, here are the best and worst matchups:
Nenhum deck não é imbatível no bolso Pokemon TCG, que inclui este deck de Pikachu Ex, que tem algumas fraquezas e pode ser um pouco combatido se você tomar as precauções adequadas. Here are all the ones you need to know:
Cartão | Razão | How To Counter |
---|---|---|
Machamp EX | Insanely strong move that can deal 120 damage with just three energy orbs. | Switch out Pikachu EX for Zapdos EX and potentially one-shot him, or disrupt the evolution. |
Marowak EX | Similar to Machamp EX, can deal up to 240 damage in a single move. | Disrupt its evolution by targeting Cubone or using Zapdos EX in one shot. |
Dragonite EX | Can attack the active as well as bench slots at the same time. | Try to disrupt the evolution by using Sabrina to force a switch in and get rid of Dragonair. |
Dugtrio | 50% chance to negate all damage done in a round. | Has low HP, all you need is a lucky shot in the early game. Prone to getting one shot. |
Machamp | A tad bit weaker than the EX version, but can deal significant damage because of type advantage. | Same as EX, target Machop or Machoke to stop the evolution or switch in Zapdos EX. |
