Hoopa ex and Hydreigon Deck — plan and trade-offs

Hydreigon is reached from Deino with Rare Candy, while Hoopa ex and Bombirdier fill the Basic package. Deceptive Needle appears twice. The list omits Zweilous, so the Rare Candy plan is central to its exact counts.

Energy Zone: Darkness. Open the source QR image. Published list and pack requirements.

Matchup note (editorial): compare the opposing attacker’s printed Weakness, HP and knockout points with the exact attackers above. Evolution-heavy lists risk drawing setup pieces late; ex attackers give up two points and Mega Evolution ex attackers give up three. The source list alone does not establish a matchup win rate, so no favorable-matchup percentage is assigned here.

Mega Absol ex and Hydreigon Deck — plan and trade-offs

Mega Absol ex shares the Hydreigon core with Bombirdier, but uses one Mega Absol rather than two Hoopa ex. Its three-point Mega knockout liability differs from the two-point ex used by the other build.

Hydreigon Deck — plan and trade-offs

The non-ex Hydreigon list uses Absol, one Zweilous and two Rare Candy. Its Basic package and one-point attackers differ from the Hoopa and Mega Absol versions; the three deck names do not mean interchangeable support lists.

Does one source mean a verified top-tier result?
