The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex deck shines thanks to the innovative Supporter card, Dawn. This card allows you to transfer Energy from a Benched Pokemon to an Active Pokemon, a crucial mechanic in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Darkrai Ex complements this ability by dealing an extra 20 damage when you move Energy to it, setting up a potent combo.

Metal-type decks have been struggling, but Dialga Ex's introduction in Space-Time Smackdown revitalizes this archetype.
