Mega Lucario ex has finally stopped feeling like a flashy card people wanted to believe in and started looking like a real threat in Pokemon TCG Pocket. If you've been testing the Pulsing Aura cards or picking up extra support through Pokemon TCG Pocket Items for sale, you've probably noticed the same thing: Lucario doesn't win by rushing. It wins when you slow the other player down, build your board, then land one clean hit that changes the whole match.
The deck wants time, not chaos
The list is pretty tight. You're usually running two Riolu and two Mega Lucario ex, with Darkrai and Igglybuff doing the dirty work while Lucario gets ready. That might sound a bit odd at first. A cute baby Pokémon and a spooky backline partner helping a huge Fighting attacker? But it makes sense once you play a few games. Igglybuff can use Sleepy Lullaby for no Energy, which gives you a real chance to stall. If the opponent stays Asleep, great. If they wake up, you've still forced them to deal with an annoying Active Pokémon instead of pressuring Riolu right away.
Darkrai makes the stall feel mean
Darkrai isn't really here to be the star. Most of the time, you won't be attacking with it unless the matchup calls for it. Its Bad Dreams Ability is the real reason it earns a spot. While Igglybuff keeps the opponent stuck or at least slowed down, Darkrai quietly adds damage. It's not dramatic. It's not a huge swing. But after a couple of turns, that chip damage starts to matter. Suddenly, Lucario doesn't need quite as much help to finish something off, and awkward knockouts become much cleaner.
When Lucario finally moves, it hits hard
The key is getting Fighting Energy onto Riolu without panicking. You don't always need to evolve the second you can. Sometimes it's better to wait, read the board, and make sure your Mega Lucario ex won't get punished right away. Once it's ready, Fighting Pulse starts at 90 damage, then climbs to 140 if you've got the extra Fighting Energy attached. That alone takes care of plenty of targets. Add Korrina against Pokémon ex, and the number jumps again. With Arena of Antiquity in play too, you're looking at damage that can wipe out most popular ex attackers in one shot.
Small choices decide the match
This deck can feel amazing, but it isn't forgiving. Sabrina can pull something soft into the Active Spot. Cyrus can help you line up the prize trade. Copycat and Professor's Research keep your hand from going dead, while Poké Ball helps you find the pieces before the game slips away.
