While not the most dominant deck in , a strong Gengar ex deck can still provide you with a lot of ghastly fun. A meta has emerged in with decks opting for pure speed or raw power. Because matches in the new mobile app move so fast, a deck that sets up fast or can quickly knock out opponents tends to win most games. However, as you continue to test out new decks, you can try some other strategies involving cards that aren't Charizard exor Pikachu ex.
One such card is Gengar ex. Unlike Mewtwo ex in which can wipe out most Pokémon cards with its powerful 150 damage Psydrive attack, Gengar ex tops off at 100 damage with its Spooky Shot attack. However, the actual value of Gengar exis its ability to block opponents from using Supporter cards, which prevents using Professor's Research and support cards like Misty or Sabrina. Robbing opponents from accessing these critical cards is sometimes all a player needs to squeak out a win.
The top Gengar ex deck leans into the ability to slow down opponents. The deck consists of two evolutionary lines — the Gastly evolutionary line and the Drowzee evolutionary line. While Gengar is the powerhouse of the deck and blocks opponents from using Supporter cards, Hypno provides support by giving you a 50% chance to put an opponent to sleep every single turn. What makes Hypno so potent is that its Sleep Pendulum ability can be used from the bench, which means a player can potentially keep an opponent's Active Pokémon from attacking on their turn.
