Compared to other Mega Pokemon Pokemon, Mega Rayquaza ex's HP isn't as highly difficult to deal with. It can easily be OHKO'd or 2HKO'd with the right boosts and Pokemon. Use Pokemon that have high attack power such as other Mega Pokemon to defeat Mega Rayquaza ex.


The Mega Rayquaza ex deck can accelerate Energy by using the Rainbow Cave Stadium and Dragonair's Ability. To disrupt this setup, you can remove the Rainbow Cave from the field by using the Field Blower item or by replacing it with your own Stadium.

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.

Altaria or Drampa can be used as early-game attackers as Mega Rayquaza ex is being set up in the Bench. A combination of Rainbow Cave and Dragonair is then used to generate more Energy for Mega Rayquaza ex.
Once there's enough Energy in play, put it in the Active Spot and have it attack the opponent's Pokemon. While attacking will discard all of its Energy, you may be able to immediately attack again in the next turn if you have at least 1 Dragonair in your Bench.

While using Pom-Pom Oricorio to nullify attacks from ex Pokemon, accelerate Lightning Energy to Genetic Apex Magneton with its Ability. Once set up, evolve Magneton to Crimson Blaze Magnezone.
Promote your fully-set up Magnezone to the Active Spot since it will be your main attacker. Magnezone's Mirror Shot will force the opponent to flip a coin whenever they attack. When flipping Tails, the attack does not happen. Taking advantage of this disruption will be key to victory.
