Pokemon TCG Pocket: Best water type tire

Players looking for alternatives for some of the best water types in Pokemon TCG Pocket can discover the most viable options through this guide.

But can Cresselia ex fit into any reliable tires? Is it meta-relevant? This guide answers these questions by providing three competitive tires built around Cresselia Ex's abilities, along with a rapid overview of its performance in Pokemon pocketS Metagame.

Cresselia ex short overview
- HP: 140
- ATK: 80
- Text: When you attach a mental energy from your energy zone to this pokemon, heal 20 damage from this pokemon.
- ATK cost: Three (two psychic, one colorless)
- Retreat cost: Two
- Weakness: Darkness
- Set & Pack: Space-Time Smackdown; obtained from Cresselia ex drop event (promo-a vol. 4 packs)

Cresselia Ex is a self -hearable Pokemon introduced as the presented card in Pokemon pocketThe February drop event, along with Skarmory, Misderavus, Turtwig and Electivire.

Many players have compared Cresselia ex with Darkrai, for example, because of their similar abilities. However, Darkrai ex has emerged as the stronger alternative, as its ability – which removes 20 damage to each energy it receives – is much more competitive than Cresselia ex's healing effect.

The most consistent tire for Cresselia Ex has a Mewtwo ex -lineup in combination with Gardevoir. In this installation, Cresselia ex acts as a tank and slows the enemy while you build up mewtwo ex. To improve its efficiency, you can pair Cresselia ex with a rocky helmet, which allows it to take up damage while chipping away at the enemy HP.

Alternate tires for cresselia ex

Magnezone and Cresselia ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

In addition to the standard mewtwo ex shell, two other tires will benefit from Cresselia ex: Lightning type Magnezone lineup and the confusion-focused Mismagius ex-installation.

One of the more interesting combinations is Magnezone tires, with Magnemite and Magneton (from genetic peak). The strategy here is to use only mental energy, with magneton that is energetic from the bench. Basically, Cresselia stops the enemy with her self -heating while you build two magnee zones on the bench.

In Mismagius ex-tires Cresselia ex with Basic Cresselia, which also has a self-heeling feature. The concept reflects it on the Magnezone tire: Stall with both Cresselia and Cresselia ex, confuses the enemy with Mristrenavus (promo-a) and deal with damage with mismagius ex.

How to counteract Cresselia ex

Each anti-stall tire with the ability to snap the opponent's bench can counteract Cresselia ex. In most settings, Cresselia ex acts as a tank and absorbs initial injury while the most important injury dealers are built on the bench. If you are targeting the back line with cards such as Hitmonlee, Greninja or Zebstrika, you can interfere with Cresselia Ex's strategy.

A meta Darkness tire can also counteract most Cresselia ex -tires. For example, a Scolipede & Weezing Combo would be an ideal answer.

Is Cresselia ex worth it?

Cresselia Ex is a free marketing card, so there is no need to think about whether to get it or not. But if you are focused on gathering only the most competitive Pokemon in the TCG pocketYou can easily skip Cresselia ex.

Given the current Metagame trends, it is unlikely that this Pokémon will find a meta-relevant role. Instead, it will be an alternative to Druddigon, primarily used as a card to stop the enemy.
