The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) has witnessed an exciting shift in the competitive landscape, particularly in Pocket online matches where Mewtwo ex and Pikachu ex decks have been ruling the roost. However, a new anti-meta contender has emerged: the Wigglytuff ex deck, which is proving to be a formidable counter to these popular builds.
Mewtwo ex and Pikachu ex decks are notorious for their ability to deliver one-hit knockouts (KOs) against many Pokémon. Their stage one cards unleash devastating attacks, rendering numerous opponents virtually powerless. Yet, the Wigglytuff ex, synergized with Weezing, is challenging this dominance, showcasing its unique strengths in the current meta.
Mastering the Wigglytuff ex Deck
While Wigglytuff ex may not withstand the onslaught of Mewtwo ex’s Psydrive, it comes equipped with an impressive arsenal of tactics. The ability to induce sleep on the legendary Pokémon while dealing 80 damage sets the stage for an intriguing battle. Complementing this is Weezing’s Gas Leak ability, effectively poisoning Mewtwo ex or Pikachu ex, which adds another layer of strategy to the gameplay.
Weezing’s capabilities extend beyond mere poison; it also applies pressure on the opponent’s Ralts, hindering its evolution into Gardevoir and thereby nullifying the benefits of Psy Shadow’s energy generation. This creates a strategic advantage that can be exploited in match play.
In a perfect scenario, aim to poison your opponent’s Mewtwo ex or Pikachu ex with Weezing, inflicting 10 damage per turn. Follow this with a Tackle attack dealing 30 damage, and then utilize Koga to retreat Weezing back into your hand. This clever maneuver maximizes your tactical effectiveness.
The Wigglytuff ex deck’s capabilities extend beyond simple damage dealing. With the poison in place, you can rotate out Wigglytuff ex to continue putting your opponent’s Pokémon to sleep. Each time they want to attack, they must flip a coin, all while accruing ongoing poison damage. This can decisively tip the scales in your favor.
Consider incorporating Giovanni into your strategy to amplify Wigglytuff ex’s Sleep Song by an additional 10 damage, bringing the total to a staggering 90. Harnessing this potent combination of poison and sleep will allow you to set up critical two-hit KO opportunities, paving the way for a series of triumphant victories.
