Pokemon TCG Pocket: Best Pikachu EX Decks

I have played around with many different themes Pokemon TCG Pocketbut the one that has given me the most wins online has definitely been mine Pikachu ex deck. Just today I jumped online to try out some matches, and I won six matches in a row with this bad boy. Now, this might not be the ultimate, S-tier best deck ever that includes Pikachu ex, but this is a great one to start with (at least I think so).

What is the rarest Pokemon card in your collection?

It saddens me that this card has since been lost, but without a doubt the rarest card I've ever owned is a Japanese Neo Genesis Lugia holo, which currently has a TCGPlayer value of $84.95 for a hard played card and more a hundred dollars for one. in fair to good quality. Of course, I was just a kid when I came into possession of this card and had no idea how valuable it would become over time. Although I tried to take care of it since it was a “shiny” (holo) and legendary Pokemon, this unfortunately took some damage over the years and eventually disappeared. Aside from that, I also currently own good condition copies of a few holos from the Base Set, Jungle and Neo sets, as well as a handful of full arts and holos from XY Evolutions that have increased significantly in value/rarity.

Using exburst.dev I have lined up my deck in the image above. But I'll also share a list below that includes the cards and the booster packs they can be found in. I debated whether to add a Zapdos to the party and remove one of the Pikachu, but the risky nature of Zapdos ex's Thundering Hurricane is too a lot to deal with. With Pikachu ex and three Electric types on the bench, you can guarantee at least 90 damage.

A few things to note when using this Pikachu ex deck:


  • Always make sure the bench is full of electric types when Pikachu ex is set to take the active spot. You want to ensure maximum damage.
  • Use Magneton's ability to gain extra energy in case Pikachu ex gets kicked out of the active spot, and you need a Pokémon that can retreat easily.
  • If there are weak/susceptible Pokemon on your opponent's bench, use Zebstrika's power to damage them. Sometimes knocking out a weak, retreating Pokémon is faster than trying to knock out a powerful one in the active zone.
  • Sabrina is a good card when your enemy has a strong opponent on the field or if there is a Pokemon on the opponent's bench that you think would be easier to take out.
  • Please watch out for decks with Fighting-type Pokémon. Obviously, this deck might not be suitable for that because of the extra damage your Pokemon will take (+20).
