Darkrai Ex's ability to deal an extra 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon when you move an Energy to it synergizes brilliantly with Dawn, allowing you to redistribute Energy effectively. Following up with an attack from Weavile Ex, who can capitalize on already damaged Pokemon, enhances this strategy. The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex combo is currently a formidable force in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta-game, known for its rapid setup and ability to overpower slower decks.

The Koga deck, a nostalgic favorite from the Genetic Apex era, has been revitalized with this new archetype. Mastering this deck requires finesse due to its intricate mechanics, but this complexity is also its strength. The strategy involves using Weezing to inflict poison damage over time, and then resetting with Koga when necessary. Dawn facilitates Pokemon movement, enabling you to soften your opponents with poison before striking decisively with Darkrai Ex. A key advantage of this deck is its low Energy requirement for Weezing and Spiritomb, allowing you to focus on powering up Darkrai Ex for devastating attacks.
