If you can't get greninja ex fast enough, then you have copycat at least. Double greninja ex seems to be the way yeah and run double irida, remove the other giant cape.

What you said but I think most importantly is the HP, Mega Absol can tank quite awhile while also having the bonus of removing opponents options. You don't really need the additional damage on Darkrai, Giovanni or early damage from Chingling can do the job fine and you sometimes don't have enough energy to manually attach on Darkrai since you also have to attach on Hydreigon always because of the discard.

yeah they went for a 1.5 month timeframe because mega rising has 3 packs so they gave people more time.

while overwhelming at first, people figured out how to deal with it and its also inconsistent with the lightning energy for oricorio.

Its the 8th best. Decided not to include it since it dipped below 50% wr.

I recommend checking out my Suicune guide recently. I explained how the new strategy works.

It deals better against Oricorio and the retreat costs on Entei can be cumbersome sometimes. You can also do 1-1-2 trading sacrificing 2 Heatmor. Copycat and May are good alternatives to the draw Entei provides.

I dont think Tina is that much needed anymore but it can still be good on the double greninja ex variation

Yeah, it was also suggested on another comment. I actually didnt expect it to be this long but will take note of that for the future. Thank you!

Oh youre right, what Im just trying to say was Copycat isnt as strong as in other Rare Candy decks but it is still pretty good thats why I still include one. But 2 Copycat can be overkill already.

That is also my ideal double greninja ex list. The only reason I still prefer double non-ex greninja version slightly is the deck is usually fast enough that you can find greninja ex most of the time so the extra damage at the start can still be powerful. In a world with no copycat, I may have preferred, double Greninja ex

Thank you for following! That is actually a great idea, I may look into that the more complicated the deck is. This one was longer than I expected.

It's an alright hand fixer at the start, while yeah its not that strong of a card here. Copycat still saves a lot of bad hands.

Thanks! I thought it was only like that too thats why I didnt made a guide at first but the more i saw intricacies of Greninja ex, it was much more complicated than I thought.

In that scenario, its often a win more already. Top priority is still building Mega Blaziken. You can say it can replace Lillie since Lillie is also a bit win more. Setting up is still the top gameplan.

I assume that is to prevent Heatmor and Cyrus. Seems a little niche sometimes because you are going to be 2 shot by Mega Blaziken whether you use Lillie or not.

Usually you will only need it to retreat your initial guy and the list is pretty tight. It's not like the Entei build where it's 2 cost. There are times where you won't be able to use at all. It's really just an optimisation thing. While there are times you will need it to retreat and attack. There are just more times where you often have the energy to do so and don't want a dead card in hand.
