In Pokemon TCG Pocket, the usual decks you flock to include the fan-favorites like Charizard, Mewtwo, or Dragonite but sometimes, Dark-type ‘Mon are overlooked and can be used to your advantage.
There are some pretty incredible Dark decks you can craft but with a somewhat limited pool of monsters to pick from, it can be tricky.
Here, we’ll take a look at what we think is the best Dark deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket so you can use an off-meta creation that takes your opponent off guard.
What is the best Dark deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
If you’re wanting to mix things up a bit and utilize Dark-type Pokemon in your TCG Pocket deck, you can build something that can topple even the strongest ex cards.
This is especially true when you’re looking to counter a tough Psychic-type deck which can include the likes of Mewtwo ex or Mew ex.
Our pick for the best Dark deck focuses on Weavile ex and Darkrai ex, introduced in Space-Time Showdown, which looks to go all out as early as possible.
Here is the full best Dark deck list so you can make it yourself:
- Weavile ex x2
- Darkrai ex x2
- Sneasel x2
- Spiritomb x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Cyrus x2
- Dawn x2
- X Speed x2
Obviously Weavile ex and Darkrai ex are the two standouts here but utilizing these in conjunction with your Supporters is key.
For example, you’re able to throw Dawn into the mix to give Darkrai more energy thus activating its ability to do more damage to your opponent without actually using an attack.
Don’t sleep on Spiritomb either because even though you’re only doing 10 damage, it is to each of your opponent’s Pokemon, and could be key when you’re against someone who is constantly switching out to save HP.
