Mega Garchomp ex Deck Variants	Strengths and Weaknesses
Mega Garchomp ex Deck	Strengths: • Mega Garchomp ex is able to deal a meaningful 190 damage, OHKOing most Pokemon in the game. • Garchomp's Mach Stealth prevents all incoming damage in the next turn after Garchomp KOs a Pokemon. • Dragonair can accelerate Energy for the other Pokemon in the deck. Weaknesses: • Makes use of Stage 2 Pokemon, which may require multiple turns to set up.

Mega Garchomp ex is able to hit for 190 damage with Falling Edge, notably knocking out most Pokemon in the game. This gives it a natural upper hand against Pokemon like Mega Altaria ex or Mega Absol ex.

With a single Dragonair set up, Mega Garchomp ex can use Falling Edge consecutively.

A copy of Garchomp from Team Rocket's Ambition gives you a strong, single-point Pokemon that's usable in matchups against Pom-Pom Oricorio or as an initial attacker while you prepare a healthy Mega Garchomp ex on the bench.

Mega Garchomp ex Deck Strategy Guide

Score OHKOs with Falling Edge

Mega Garchomp ex's Falling Edge deals 190 damage, OHKOing most Pokemon in the game. Pokemon like Mega Altaria ex and Mega Absol ex are easily OHKOd by this.

Use Rainbow Cave to Discard Energy

Use the Rainbow Cave to discard Energy from the Energy Zone that you do not need, and replace it with the next Energy. We highly recommend using the Rainbow Cove Stadium if you're playing decks that have multiple Energies at play such as Dragon decks.

List of Stadium Cards

How to Beat Mega Garchomp ex Decks

Knock Out Gible It Evolves

Mega Garchomp ex can take a while to set up since it has a 2 stage evolution. Try to KO Gible before it gets the chance to evolve.

Discard Rainbow Cave

Discard the Rainbow Cave stadium using the Field Blower or by placing a different Stadium down. Discarding your opponent's Rainbow Cave will make it more difficult for them to draw the Energy that they need to use Mega Garchomp ex's attack.

Use Pokemon Who Have 200 HP or More

Use Pokemon that have more than 200 HP, to prevent being OHKO'd by Mega Garchomp ex . If needed, use cards that can boost HP such as the Giant Cape so that you don't give Mega Garchomp ex the chance to score a KO.
