Deck Evaluation
Has an advantage against ex decks.
While Ranked Matches aren’t made up of only ex decks, making it hard to place this deck in S Tier, it’s a solid and consistent deck that can win reliably.
How to Play, Strategy & Gameplay
Use Cyrus and Greninja together to steadily earn points.
Giratina ex is used as a finisher, but depending on matchups or if it’s drawn too late, there are battles where it might not be used at all.
Use Oricorio as a wall while deciding whether to raise Greninja or Oricorio based on Energy availability.
If you have Eevee, use its draw attack to thin your deck while working toward completing Greninja.
Be careful not to leave Giratina ex damaged and then get it pulled out by Cyrus, as that can create a path to defeat.
The player who completes Greninja first tends to win, so it’s important to use Eevee’s draw attack at least once and make effective use of Sylveon ex’s Ability.
Who Should Use This Deck
Recommended for players who want to perform strongly against ex decks.
If you draw Cyrus, you’re likely to win—but if not, it becomes a tough battle, so it’s best suited for those who can play defensively and endure until then.
