Pokemon TCG Pocket Ultra Beast Drop Event: Best counters

Best counters to use in the Pokemon TCG Pocket Ultra Beast Drop Event (Image via The Pokemon Company)

• Ultra Necrozma ex is a powerhouse without any specific type weakness, so it’s smart to use fast-setup decks that can take advantage of its initial build-up time. Good options include Lightning-type decks and Solgaleo ex, which can apply early pressure.
• For missions that require Darkness-type knockouts, ideal choices are Darkrai ex, Guzzlord ex, and Alolan Muk ex — all of which offer solid synergy and reliable damage output.
• Missions calling for 1–3 Diamond rarity decks can be cleared with low-rarity yet efficient builds like Silvally, Krookodile, or Dragonite decks.
• For the poisoning task, the easiest method is simply equipping a Poison Barb to one of your Pokemon.
