Best Pokemon TCG Pocket Mega Rayquaza ex deck
This dragon deck for PTCGP generates energy as fast as it can burn it up, and Mega Rayquaza is its heavy hitter
This Mega Rayquaza ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is one of the best dragon type decks out there to date, with players experimenting with variations to work out the best build. Right now it seems as though Rayquaza and Dragonair from the Ruler of the Skies set remain a winning combination, resulting in a deck that burns up energy and then brings it right back from the discard pile.

Energy: Fire / Electric
This is the latest build to arise out of the Mega Rayquaza problem - namely, that this is clearly a very powerful card, if only we could get it to work properly. Here the strategy is to use Gouging Fire as your opening tank, either building up its energy or just letting it absorb damage while evolve Dratini and fuel Rayquaza on the bench.
At the same time, keep using Rainbow Cave to mill through energy, so your discard pile is as big as possible for Dragonair and Professor Sada to pull from. Make sure you save Rayquaza for the endgame, and do everything you can to keep Dragonair alive - they're the key to victory, as energy production is too slow otherwise.
- Pros
- Potentially huge damage output
- No type weaknesses for enemies to exploit
- Gouging Fire is a good early game tank
- Cons
- Struggles in the early game
- Risk of using Rayquaza at the wrong time
- If you lose Dragonair, you'll struggle
