Crobat ex and Sylveon ex Deck [★ Best ★]	Strengths: • Crobat ex and Nihilego can deal damage early on with support from Sylveon ex. • Sylveon ex can help you set up your Pokemon. Weaknesses: • Weak against decks that counter status conditions, like Pokemon Center Lady and Arceus ex. • Crobat ex needs to be set up quickly.
Umbreon ex and Crobat ex Deck	Strengths: • Umbreon ex's Dark Chase Ability allows you to gust up an opponent's Benched Pokemon without the use of Cyrus. • robat ex has an inexpensive Venomous Slash Attack, which only costs 1 Darkness Energy to use.

Eevee ×2	Giant Cape ×2	Cyrus ×1	Rare Candy ×2
Lillie ×1	Silver ×1	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

This deck utilizes Crobat ex and Nihilego's More Poison Ability to deal quick damage early on in the game. If you're able to set it up, you can deal 80 damage as early as your second turn.

Aim to evolve Zubat into Crobat ex early with Rare Candy. Make use of Sylveon ex to find necessary cards for your setup.

Silver and Dark Pendant are also useful for this deck as it can disrupt your opponent's hand.

Alternate Card Suggestions

Alternate Cards	Possible Cuts
Darkrai ex (A2 110)	→ ・Damage from Darkrai ex's Ability can help deal additional damage. ・Crobat only needs one Energy, so it is safe to give it to Darkrai ex.
Nihilego (A3a 042)	→ ・Switch for a second Nihilego for more poison sources.

Crobat ex ×2	Umbreon ex ×2	Eevee ×2	Rare Candy ×2
Dark Pendant ×2	Silver ×1	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Crobat ex is this deck's main attacker. Its cheap one-cost Attack can allow you attach subsequent Energies to Darkrai ex and pile on even more damage.

A single Sylveon ex is included to give you an option to draw cards when you need it.

Silver can be disruptive, denying your opponents of a Supporter card for their turn. Dark Pendant synergizes with Silver, reducing your opponent's options even further.

Crobat ex Deck Strategy Guide

Crobat's Venomous Slash

Crobat ex only needs one Dark Energy to attack for 70 damage, which helps it become an effective attacker early in the game. This also lets it easily eliminate low-HP Basic Pokemon, like Charmander, Eevee, and Pheromosa, putting your opponents on the back foot for the rest of the game.

Synergizes Well with Nihilego

Nihilego's More Poison Ability makes Poisoned Pokemon take additional damage, which synergizes with Crobat ex's Venomous Slash, letting you deal extra damage. You can rely on this combination as your opponent sets up their board.

How to Beat Crobat ex Decks

Use Cards That Counter Statuses

Status conditions are less effective against cards like Arceus ex and Pokemon Center Lady, which Crobat ex decks rely on.

All Status Effects Explained

Disrupt Crobat ex's Evolution

Cards like Red Card and Mars will force your opponent to shuffle their cards around, which can disrupt their strategy to quickly evolve Crobat ex.
