Best Decks to Use for Pulsing Aura Emblem Event

Use Strong Meta Decks

Best Decks to Use

If you want to obtain all available Emblems during this event, you need to win 9 PvP battles. The best way to do so it to use strong decks.

You may use up and coming new decks such as the Zoroark ex and Mega Absol ex Deck or the Mega Sceptile ex and Pheromosa Deck. You may also use decks from the previous expansions' meta such as the Chien-Pao ex and Baxcalibur Deck or the Mega Absol ex and Hydreigon Deck.

Zoroark ex serves as your early game attacker. Using Zorua's Ascension, you can immediately evolve Zorua into Zoroark ex. Zoroark ex's Brutal Bash only costs 1 Darkness Energy, which makes it ready to attack as soon as it is on field. If you have a full bench with Darkness-type Pokemon, Zorua can deal up to 90 damage.

Meanwhile, Mega Absol ex is set up on the Bench. Once ready, you can switch in Absol ex to discard your opponent's Supporter cards, placing them at a greater disadvantage.

Bombirdier is also set up on the bench for its Ability, which reduces the Retreat Cost of Darkness Pokemon by 1 Energy.

Pheromosa acts as this deck's early-game attacker. It deals chip damage to the opponent's Active and Benched Pokemon, which is useful for getting them to KO range or using Cyrus.

Mega Sceptile ex is the main damage-dealer. It can deal 140 damage with both Terminating Tail and inflicting Poison. You may find evolution cards quickly with Quick-Grow Extract.

Chien-Pao ex is played with Baxcalibur in this deck. The deck's main objective is to accelerate Energy to Chien-Pao ex and KO threats before they are able to set up.

Chien-Pao ex in particular has a low HP of 130, so Giant Cape and Starting Plains are needed to give it extra staying power.

Although Mega Absol ex's Darkness Claw has a great disruptive effect, it lacks the power you may want in the late game. Hydreigon is here to make up for Mega Absol ex's damage output. Switch it in if you need to deal with high HP Pokemon or if you need to go up against Pom-Pom Oricorio.

A copy of Lucky Ice Pop are slotted in to mitigate Hydreigon's damage from Roar in Unison.

Nihilego works well for putting high HP Mega exs like Mega Kangaskhan ex into Hydreigon's KO range.
