Deck Primer

Hello everyone, I AM BACK. you might know that i have been helping the creation of phalanx v3, which might be the worlds most human chessbot without the use of databases, and you can play it on FICS as pikozrout, but anyways, lets go to the instructions of our deck

As far as Pokemon go, Mega Charizard Y ex is about as straightforward as they come. Essentially it’s just here for its pwoerful Explosion Y attack – one that lets you do 280 damage to any of your opponent’s

...

Snipe a two-prize Pokemon on the bench to close out the game.
Finish off a weakened Mega Pokemon ex that’s been retreated to the bench to score as many as three prizes.
Take a KO against a powerful defender.

Think of Mega Charizard Y ex as your multipurpose tool. Sure, your other Charizard ex cards are going to be more effective in the majority of situations you face, but Explosion Y can come in clutch to secure the win.

Many of the Pokemon ex from Scarlet & Violet are just too strong to let go of easy, and Charizard ex is a great example of an oldie-but-a-goodie staying relevant even this far into the Mega Evolution era. Despite having powerful new Charizard attackers at our disposal, you just can’t cut the Tera Charizard ex from Obsidian Flames from the equation due to its powerful Infernal Reign ability and attack that scales in damage output for each prize card your opponent has taken.

That being said, with the 2026 rotation rapidly approaching, Tera Charizard ex is out, and players will need to get used to running Mega Charizard X ex and Mega Charizard Y without it. That’s a lot more feasible, however, thanks to the powerful Oricorio ex we got back in Phantasmal Flames.

Charizard players will need to get used to Oricorio ex and its Excited Turbo ability in a post Charizard ex world. Luckily this Pokemon and its ability is no slouch, making it more than feasible to run a strong deck with just Mega Charizard X ex and Mega Charizard Y ex.

Use Mega Charizard X ex to take down mighty foes

Finally, Mega Charizard X ex is the ideal finisher for this unique deck strategy. While Tera Charizard ex is reliable attacker and energy accelerator, and Mega Charizard Y ex is there for its bench sniping potential, Mega Charizard X ex is your one-stop-shop for shutting down hyper powerful Mega Pokemon ex.
