Dek Ex Pikachu Terbaik

Pikachu is one of the iconic Pokemon, and you can pull a lot of variations of this Pokemon from the packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket. But the strongest version of this card is by far, the Pikachu EX variation. With a strong electric-type move, and lots of potential, using it in the right deck can be quite a game-changer. So, here's the best Pikachu EX deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Pikachu EX Best Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket

If you want to build the best deck around the Pikachu EX card , here's a complete breakdown of the cards that you need to have:

Kartu Prioritas No. of Copies Alasan
Pikachu EX Diperlukan 2 Pikachu EX is the core of this deck. This card's true potential lies in having electric Pokemon on the bench. It can deal up to 90 damage per move with the right setup and 120 damage with trainer cards.
Zapdos EX Besar 2 Zapdos EX provides a strong backup and synergizes with Pikachu EX well. In case your Pikachu faints, you can use your Zapdos as a substitute.
Voltorb Tergantikan 2 Voltorb works as a floater card that you can use as your initial attacker, or bench card to provide Pikachu with extra attack.
Elektroda Tergantikan 2 Electrode is Voltorb's evolution and provides a stronger attack, making them somewhat viable in the mid-game as well.

Alasan dek ini hanya memiliki 4 empat pokemon adalah untuk membantu Anda berputar lebih cepat ke kartu inti Anda (Pikachu Ex) dan mengatur kartu bangku yang diperlukan seperti Zapdos dan Voltorb.

Best Budget Cards

Jika Anda tidak memiliki semua kartu untuk dek Pikachu Ex yang ideal, berikut adalah beberapa kartu alternatif untuk dek Anda yang dapat Anda gunakan sebagai pengganti sampai Anda menemukan sisa kartu.

Kartu Replaces Alasan
Magneton Elektroda A viable substitute for Electrode, deals similar damage and can also attach extra energy orbs on itself when in the Active slot. The downside is that Magneton's move requires four orbs instead of two.
Magnemite Voltorb Same as Voltorb, good as a starter, and can be used as a floater till you have Pikachu EX or Zapdos EX set up.
Pikachu Zapdos In case you don't have Zapdos, you can use the regular Pikachu card as a viable support for your Pikachu EX.
Raichu Zapdos Used to evolve regular Pikachu in the mid-game, and can almost one-shot most opponent cards. But you'll have to invest your energy orbs correct for the most value as they'll get discarded after every move.

Best Trainer cards

This deck needs to have 20 cards but to support your four main Pokemon cards, you'll need 12 trainer cards in your deck. To help you make the best decision, here are the best trainer cards to choose for this deck:

Kartu Prioritas No. of Copies Alasan
Giovanni Diperlukan 2 You need to use this trainer card in tandem with Pikachu's move to almost one-shot any card, as it adds +10 damage to every attack.
Sabrina Besar 2 A strong trainer card that you can use to get rid of troublesome Pokemon from your opponent's active slot.
X Speed Besar 2 Extremely important trainer card to help you switch out your Active Pokemon when you've built up your core card.
Obat Bagus 2 A good option to have around that you can use to heal your important Pokemon.
Poke Ball Tergantikan 2 A floater support card that you can use to quickly rotate to your core Pokemon.
Professor's Research Tergantikan 2 Similar to the Poke Ball, but draws two cards instead of one.

How to play the Pikachu EX Deck

Like every other deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, your deck alone won't be enough to help you win matches. You'll have to set them up correctly all the way from your starting hand to your late-game setup. So, here's all you need to know about that.

Starting Hand

This deck relies on early-game dominance , which means you'll have to be aggressive from the get-go. So, when getting your first five starting cards, these are the ones you should try to get:

  • Pikachu EX (important)
  • Zapdos EX (recommended)
  • Voltorb

Sedangkan untuk kartu pelatih, kebanyakan dari mereka bisa berguna tetapi Anda harus mencoba memiliki setidaknya satu kartu ramuan untuk menghindari membiarkan floater Anda pingsan lebih awal dan kecepatan X untuk mengganti slot aktif Anda saat pengaturan Anda siap.

Early Game Setup

Saat Anda memulai pertarungan di beberapa putaran pertama (satu hingga lima), cobalah untuk mengatur salah satu kartu inti Anda, baik Pikachu Ex atau Zapdos EX pada slot aktif dengan jenis listrik lainnya pada slot bangku.

This lets you create early-game pressure as either of your core cards can take care of most early-game Pokemon that your opponent might play.

Late Game Setup

Terlepas dari pengaturan apa yang coba dimainkan lawan Anda, fokus utama Anda adalah menyingkirkan slot aktif apa pun yang mengambang lawan yang Anda mainkan dalam lima putaran pertama. Pikachu EX serta Zapdos, sangat bagus dalam kerusakan burst di babak awal, sehingga mereka dapat secara efektif mengganggu sebagian besar pengaturan musuh sebelum mereka bahkan dapat mencapai potensi penuh mereka.

Best and Worst Matchups

While using this deck, you'll be up against other kinds of deck. Among all the decks against which I've used the Pikachu EX deck, here are the best and worst matchups:

  • Fighting-type Decks: Fighting-type decks are by far the worst matchup against this deck. Karena dek ini terutama didasarkan pada pokemon tipe listrik, tipe pertempuran seperti Marowak dan Machamp memberikan kerusakan tambahan dan mengurangi kerusakan karena keuntungan jenisnya. If you're up against this type of deck, try to set up Pikachu EX as far as possible and keep switching your Pokemon to not get fainted.
  • Water-type Decks: Electric types have an inherent type advantage against water-type Pokemon. Karena itu, dek Ex Pikachu sangat kuat terhadap deck tipe air, terutama terhadap meta picks seperti Articuno Ex dan Blastoise .
  • Other-type Decks: This deck fares well against the above two deck types. Because of its strong early damage attack potential, dealing with other deck types is relatively easy.

Pikachu EX Deck Weaknesses and Counters

Tidak ada dek apa pun yang tidak terkalahkan di saku Pokemon TCG, yang mencakup dek pikachu ex ini yang memiliki beberapa kelemahan dan dapat dilengkapi jika Anda mengambil tindakan pencegahan yang tepat. Here are all the ones you need to know:

Kartu Alasan How To Counter
Machamp EX Insanely strong move that can deal 120 damage with just three energy orbs. Switch out Pikachu EX for Zapdos EX and potentially one-shot him, or disrupt the evolution.
Marowak EX Similar to Machamp EX, can deal up to 240 damage in a single move. Disrupt its evolution by targeting Cubone or using Zapdos EX in one shot.
Dragonite EX Can attack the active as well as bench slots at the same time. Try to disrupt the evolution by using Sabrina to force a switch in and get rid of Dragonair.
Dugtrio 50% chance to negate all damage done in a round. Has low HP, all you need is a lucky shot in the early game. Prone to getting one shot.
Machamp A tad bit weaker than the EX version, but can deal significant damage because of type advantage. Same as EX, target Machop or Machoke to stop the evolution or switch in Zapdos EX.
