The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex deck is a powerhouse, thanks to the new Supporter card, Dawn. This card lets you shift Energy from a Benched Pokemon to an Active one, a crucial move in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* where Energy management can make or break your game. When you move Energy to Darkrai Ex, it deals an extra 20 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon, setting the stage for Weavile Ex to finish them off with additional damage on already wounded targets. Murkrow and Honchkrow serve as effective interim attackers while you set up your bench.

Metal-type Pokemon have had their ups and downs, but with the introduction of Dialga Ex in *Space-Time Smackdown*, they're poised for a competitive resurgence. Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability allows you to attach two Metal Energy to your Benched Pokemon, accelerating your setup for Melmetal. Including Mew Ex and Tauros as counters, this deck leverages Metallic Turbo to boost Tauros' performance as well.
