Deck Primer

A straightforward Gardevoir ex deck, updated for Obsidian Flames. There are no new cards from Obsidian Flames in the deck, but I've updated based on recent trends in Gardevoir decklists (read: Tord). In particular, I added a Mirage Step Kirlia and a second Reversal Energy. You might also consider Lumineon V. In addition, I have seen the new stadium Pokemon Leage Headquarters from Obsidian Flames in some lists.

A straightforward Gardevoir ex deck, updated for Obsidian Flames. There are no new cards from Obsidian Flames in the deck, but I've updated based on recent trends in Gardevoir decklists (read: Tord). In particular, I added a Mirage Step Kirlia and a second Reversal Energy. You might also consider Lumineon V. In addition, I have seen the new stadium Pokemon Leage Headquarters from Obsidian Flames in some lists.

This list was originally published at the beginning of the Scarlet Violet format. This list is still getting views, so I wanted to make sure people weren't using an outdated deck. Rather than make a new list, I decided to update this one for Paldea Evolved and then Obsidian Flames. In Paldea Evolved, the most notable additions are Super Rod, Iono, and Reversal Energy. Super Rod allows you to recycle your Pokemon without using a Supporter like Klara or Miriam, which was necessary last format. Iono gives you decent early-game draw and great late-game disruption. Ideally, you'll want to Iono almost every turn. When you're behind in prizes, Reversal Energy can be used on your Gardevoir CRE to give Brain Wave an immediate 90 damage boost. This allows Gardevor CRE to more easily up-trade into 2-prize and potentialy 3-prize Pokemon.

Looks solid! I feel like I'll be playing lots of emergency jelly in my Gardevoir ex deck. Have you seen Super Rod yet? It has a similar power to Ordinary Rod, but a little different.

Octowen Agreed, Jelly seems made for this deck. I have seen Super Rod, and I'm really looking forward to playing it! It could be useful in this deck, and it seems like an auto-include in Lost Box.

Octowen avatar

Lol yes it definitely does!

Shouldn't this deck have a more efficient way to discard energy, to attach them to pokemons more efficiently using Gardevoir EX?

MujRocksTCG avatar

Wow the Mirage step attack on Kirlia is strong! Wouldn't it be better if you sacrificed one or two ralts for a couple of switches?

Colress135 avatar

Totally making this! Only costs a thousand bucks!

Actually look pretty solid tho

Change the V to ex already please.

When I realised that I have this card:

thatonemagicarp avatar

i made a similar variant in real life, it is ridonkulous. i love gardevoir

also change the dang v to ex and irida to arven

klamburglar avatar

Thanks for reminding me to change the Gardevoir V and Irida, everyone. :)

thatonemagicarp avatar

i made most of it irl but I need the gardevoir ex :D

thatonemagicarp avatar

also maybe consider adding Gallade ASR-62

Grippybug avatar

Just experiabce here, I have never lost to a gardex deck on ptcgl because they always can't get set up quickly, maybe add a Pokémon that can make them set up better

I play Miraidon Pika V Union

This has also been my experience playing miraidon/regieleki vs gardi. Its really tough for them to handle immediate pressure. Playing Ralts 067/195 like Tord does might help stall early to help get setup.

I really like your deck. I've been playing it but I never seem to get the right cards when I need them and get overthrown by just about everything else

Octowen avatar

Whoa Grippybug Miraidon Pika V-Union sounds really cool!

Colress135 avatar

I agree with everyone, this deck seems like it would take way too long to set up. Miraidon would murder it instantly.

Maybe add some sort of stall pokemon, like the new Mimikyu when Paldea Evolving comes out, or Banette ex.

All Gardy decks will typically take 2 turns to set up. But it's not like meta decks will just come in and take 2-3 prizes before this deck attacks, it would just be knocking out maybe one ralts or 2. After that the firepower of this deck is just too much and the prize trade against mew, arc/dura and other giants with baby Gardi is too good. This deck is made to get behind and come back big with reversal energy and big iono plays.

I like the Gallade better thank Lumineon, goes off faster. I've been playing a scream ti setup, with lots of Arven and a few rare candy. I feel like straight Gardevoir is still viable, but Scream Tail provides a lot of pressure and flexibility. I have a list very similar to my Live one on my account, it'll be one of the more recent uploads.

İlk olarak destede nest ball yok bu da gelişimi zorlaştırır zaten gardevoir "ex" oynandığı için reversal energy'yi gereksiz buluyorum
