Darkrai Ex brings a potent ability to the table, enabling you to deal an additional 20 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon simply by transferring an Energy to it. This ability pairs excellently with Dawn, who allows you to shuffle Energy between your Pokemon. Following this, you can unleash Weavile Ex's attack, which excels at capitalizing on already damaged Pokemon.
The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combination is currently making waves in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta-game. It's a deck that can be set up rapidly and is especially effective against slower decks that require more time to establish themselves.

The Koga deck harkens back to the Genetic Apex era and remains a personal favorite of mine. This deck is intricate to play due to its multiple components, yet this complexity is also its greatest strength. Your strategy revolves around dealing continuous poison damage with Weezing and strategically resetting your cards with Koga when they're at risk. Spiritomb and Weezing require minimal Energy, freeing you up to consistently boost Darkrai Ex's damage output.
