Pokemon TCG Pocket best Lunala ex deck: Deck strategy and playstyle

1) Lunala ex

• HP: 180
• Ability - Psychic Connect: Once per turn, you can move all Psychic Energy from one of your Benched Psychic Pokemon to your Active Pokemon.
• Attack - Lunar Blast: Deals 100 damage (Cost: 1 Psychic, 2 Colorless)

Lunala ex is a Stage 2 Pokemon that turns into an important anchor of the deck as soon as it's on the board. Directly evolve Cosmog to Lunala ex using Rare Candy and skip dealing with the middle stage, having your board in position sooner.

Its Psychic Connect ability is important in terms of handling Energy, allowing you to move Energy to the Active Spot at the optimal time for powerful attacks. Notably, Lunala ex doesn't have to be Active to activate this Ability, meaning you can set it on the Bench and have another Pokemon do the frontline work.

2) Giratina ex

• HP: 150
• Ability - Broken-Space Bellow: Once during your turn, attach a Psychic Energy from your Energy Zone to this Pokemon. Using this ends your turn.
• Attack - Chaotic Impact: Deals 130 damage (Cost: 3 Psychic, 1 Colorless)

Giratina ex is your primary Energy acceleration tool. It can end your turn when activating its Ability, but it provides a steady Energy attachment, particularly in the early game. You can then shift this accumulated Energy to Lunala ex or other attackers with Psychic Connect later.

3) Giratina (Space-Time Smackdown)

• HP: 120
• Ability - Levitate: If it has any Energy attached, it has no Retreat Cost.
• Attack - Spooky Shot: Deals 70 damage (Cost: 2 Psychic, 1 Colorless)

This version of Giratina is great for mobility. Its Levitate Ability allows it to leave the Active Spot without cost, so you can cycle through attackers or move around as you wish. It's a great frontline choice while you build up stronger attackers in the Bench.

This deck thrives on timing and Energy management. Start the battle by positioning Giratina ex in the Bench to stack Psychic Energy from your Energy Zone, even if it ends your turn.

Once a sufficient amount of Energy is built up, use Lunala ex to switch them around using Psychic Connect. In the meantime, your lead Giratina (Space-Time Smackdown) can harass the opponent while receding freely due to Levitate.

The duo of Rare Candy with Lunala ex's Ability helps to generate a tempo shift that can blind opponents, particularly in combination with Cyrus or Sabrina for chaotic plays. Use Red to push your damage to other ex cards, and reserve Leaf and Giant Cape for maintaining board presence.

This Lunala ex deck is a strategic, well-rounded Psychic build that penalizes overplaying and rewards well-thought-out plays and good Energy management. It's complex but not obtuse, a truly fascinating deck for casual and competitive players alike in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
