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. If you want to know more, here's how to make the best possible PTCGP Mega Rayquaza deck in the meta right now.

Energy: Fire / Electric
There's plenty of variants of this deck (many include Gouging Fire) but this one is one we've seen a little more success with. The goal here is to use Mega Rayquaza as your main damage dealer, with throws away energy only for Dragonair to be able to bring it back from the discard pile. Drampa works in the same way, only in a less powerful form.
The downsides are, of course, the costs of energy generation. Even with two Dragonair on the bench you can only bring back one energy per turn, and that makes it difficult to build up once you start attacking. I recommend keeping Rayquaza on the bench until the mid-game and letting Drampa or Dragonair soften enemies up a bit, then bringing out Rayquaza once it has some energy on it or until you can have it target a powerful enemy Pokemon.
- Pros
- Potentially huge damage output
- No type weaknesses for enemies to exploit
- Not much build-up required
- Cons
- Struggles in the early game
- Risk of using Rayquaza at the wrong time
