Moltres ex Deck

While Charizard ex has earned its place as the flagship Pokémon, the real star behind the scenes is Moltres ex, whose unique Inferno Dance attack accelerates Energy on Fire Type-Pokémon from turn 1. On average, it attaches 1.5 Fire Energy per turn to your Benched Pokémon, effectively cheating the energy curve and enabling stronger attacks much earlier than usual.

Moltres ex boasts a solid 140 HP for a Basic Pokémon and can deal a respectable 70 damage with Heat Blast. With Moltres ex in both the Active spot and on the Bench, a few lucky coin flips or a well-timed X Speed can even get Heat Blast online as early as turn 2.
