If you’ve been lurking in the shadows of the current Pokémon TCG meta, then you already know—Dragapult ex is no longer just spooky. It’s a full-on spectral powerhouse.

Whether you’re here to dominate the ladder or just love ghosts with a game plan, this is the deck for you. Let’s dive into why Dragapult ex is one of the most devious decks in the game right now.
👻 DECK CORE – STRATEGY & SYNERGY
🌀 Dragapult ex
The star of the show! Dragapult ex is a free-retreat Psychic-type attacker with the Phantom Dive attack, spreading 6 damage counters to your opponent’s board while hitting for 130 damage. This makes it perfect for setting up multi-KO turns and controlling the board state with relentless chip damage.

☠️ Dusknoir (Obsidian Flames)
Dusknoir brings spooky synergy with Spectral Breach, which removes all Special Energy effects. This effectively bricks decks that rely on double turbo or Fusion Strike Energy. It also helps wall off attackers that use Colorless-based acceleration. Pair this with Dragapult’s spread and you’ve got a recipe for frustration (for your opponent, that is).

🪙 Reversal Energy
This deck leans into comeback mechanics, and Reversal Energy shines here. Once you’re behind on prizes, this single energy provides a free Psychic-typed Triple Acceleration for Dragapult’s attack. Suddenly, what looked like a safe lead for your opponent crumbles into a damage-spreading nightmare.

💎 Earthen Vessel + PokéStop Engine
Need consistency? This engine fuels your deck by thinning out cards, accelerating Energy to the discard for retrieval, and ensuring you can keep applying pressure. Earthen Vessel finds your Psychic Energy, while PokéStop accelerates the setup of your Stage 2s.
