Mega Rayquaza ex and Gouging Fire Deck 2D Pattern QR Code

Mega Rayquaza ex is played in this deck as a late-game finisher. Its primary attacker is Gouging Fire, which has synergy with Dragonair, Ancient Booster Energy Capsule, Professor Sada, and Rainbow Cave.

Ancient Booster Energy Capsule increases Gouging Fire's HP by 40, making it harder to KO. Dragonair can continuously provide it with Energy so that it can keep attacking every turn. Professor Sada gives Gouging Fire another way to recur Energy. While Rainbow Cave discards Energy from the Energy Zone, for Professor Sada and Dragonair to return.

Mythical Island Druddigon functions as a wall to put into the Active Spot in the early game. It can deal chip damage with its Ability as Haxorus is set up in the Bench,

Once Haxorus is set up, it can be placed in the Active Spot to deal damage. It is best if the Bench is filled out beforehand for it to deal more damage.

Iris can be used to increase the points that the player earns after Haxorus lands a KO.

Powerful but Requires Difficult Set Up

A common theme for Dragon-type cards is that they can deal a lot of damage but need specific set-ups.

All of these Dragon Pokemon cause a lot of damage through attacks or abilities, but are difficult to set up for attacks, since they need multiple Energy types to function.

Deck Building Guide

Dragonair and Rainbow Cave

Dragonair
Rainbow Cave

Dragon decks gain new support options from the Ruler of the Skies set in Dragonair and Rainbow Cave. Dragonair helps fulfil difficult Energy requirements for Dragon-types, while Rainbow Cave helps fuel this and also give you the chance to get the correct Energy type.
