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

All Sylveon ex variants in PTCGP (Image via TPC)

Sylveon ex

• HP: 140
• Ability: Happy Ribbon — On playing Sylveon ex, you may draw 2 cards
• Move: Brave Buddies — 70 damage for 1 Psychic Energy and 1 Colorless Energy

Though not the main attacker, Sylveon ex is the core of this deck. Its ability lets you draw two cards when it's played from your hand. This gives you immense flexibility up front with your potential choice of cards.

Sylveon

• HP: 90
• Move: Evoharmony — 40 damage for 1 Psychic Energy and 1 Colorless Energy + 30 more damage for each Evolution Pokemon on your Bench

Regular Sylveon from Eevee Grove is the main attacker of this deck. The plan is to have Sylveon in the Active Spot, while all the other Eeveelutions make up the Bench. A full Bench boosts Sylveon's Evoharmony to 130 damage.

Espeon

• HP: 100
• Move: Energy Crush — 20 damage for each Energy attached to your opponent's Pokemon for 1 Psychic Energy

Espeon is the secondary attacker of the deck, who can be deployed if the opponent is using Energy-heavy cards like Darkrai ex or Giratina ex. Otherwise, Espeon is best left on the Bench to power up Sylveon's Evoharmony.
