Best Pokemon TCG Pocket Ultra Necrozma ex deck guide: Strategy breakdown

This deck is designed around Ultra Necrozma ex, a card that not only hits hard but also severely disrupts your opponent’s deck. Let’s break down the key components.

1) Ultra Necrozma ex

• Type: Dragon
• HP: 150
• Retreat Cost: 2
• Weakness: None
• Move 1 – Photon Claw: 60 damage for 3 Colorless Energy
• Move 2 – Shoegaze: 120 damage for 2 Psychic and 2 Metal Energy. Each player discards the top 5 cards of their deck.

The deck-milling effect of Shoegaze is what gives Ultra Necrozma ex its strength, not just its 120 base damage. Removing five cards per player in Pokemon TCG Pocket, where decks are capped at only 20 cards, can effectively destroy your opponent's strategy by depleting their resources before they can react.

Powering up this move is difficult because it calls for both Metal and Psychic Energy. Your support Pokemon is crucial in this situation.

Keep in mind that it is important to only run Metal Energy in this deck.

2) Giratina ex

• Ability – Broken-Space Bellow: Once per turn, attach a Psychic Energy from your Energy Zone to this Pokemon. Ends your turn.

Giratina ex’s role is to generate Psychic Energy each turn. Though using its ability ends your turn, it accelerates your Energy pool, allowing you to prepare for Ultra Necrozma’s heavy Energy cost.

3) Lunala ex

• Ability – Psychic Connect: Move all Psychic Energy from a Benched Psychic Pokemon to your Active Pokemon.

Lunala ex serves as your Energy transfer engine in this deck. Once Giratina ex has enough Psychic Energy stacked, Lunala ex shifts it all to Ultra Necrozma ex in one move, enabling the latter to use Shoegaze.

Cosmog is the base evolution for Lunala ex, and Rare Candy lets you skip the middle evolution step, speeding up the setup process.

Trainer & support cards

• Rare Candy: Quick-evolves Cosmog directly into Lunala ex.
• Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, Pokemon Communication, Iono: Helps you draw into your pieces and manage your hand efficiently.
• Lusamine: You can use it to power up your second Ultra Necrozma ex in the late game by selecting one Ultra Beast and attaching two random Energy from the discard pile. It is playable only after your opponent scores a point.
