Zoroark ex Deck

With a 1 Energy attack dealing up to 90 damage and a consistent way to evolve, Zoroark ex is one of the most efficient early-game threats. It can knock out unevolved Pokémon in a single hit. In Pulsing Aura, Zorua and its 1 Energy Ascension attack provide a way to "summon" Zoroark ex from the deck, which reduces the usual inconsistency of playing evolved Pokémon.

To fill the Bench, the already wide toolbox has improved further with Bombirdier, released in the same set. Its Villainous Delivery reduces Zoroark ex’s retreat cost to zero, protecting it from further harm or allowing you to pivot into stronger late-game Pokémon.

A natural partner for Zoroark ex is Mega Absol ex. Not only is its retreat cost also nullified thanks to Bombirdier, but it also deals more consistent damage and adds a strong disruption element to make up for its lower damage output.
It is also useful to optimize "point mapping" in the game by first sending a regular ex, then a Mega Pokémon ex, creating a 2-point to 3-point sequence.
This variant often runs Darkrai ex as well to improve damage output per turn and to take advantage of the low Energy requirements shared by all Pokémon in the deck.

- Brutal Bash deals damage based on the number of Benched Pokémon. This creates constraints in deckbuilding that reduces the chance of opening Zorua. It is also limited by the lack of strong Pokémon to search with Lisia, currently the best Bench filler in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
- Even at max damage, the damage output from Brutal Bash is rather underwhelming in a Mega-dominant metagame.
