Mega Rayquaza ex and Gouging Fire Deck — plan and trade-offs
Mega Rayquaza ex pairs with Gouging Fire and Dragonair. The source selects Fire and Lightning Energy, matching the Mega Burst Energy categories. The Pokémon’s Dragon type is not a separate Energy option; keep the published Energy mix.
Energy Zone: Fire, Lightning. 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.
Garchomp and Cynthia Deck — plan and trade-offs
Garchomp and Cynthia use Water and Fighting Energy in the source list. The line contains Gible, one Gabite, and two Rare Candy. Druddigon supplies another Basic while the evolution pieces are assembled.
Energy Zone: Water, Fighting. 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.
Haxorus and Druddigon Deck — plan and trade-offs
Haxorus and Druddigon select Fighting and Metal Energy. The list has one Fraxure and two Rare Candy, plus Iris support. This differs from the Energy mix of either Mega Rayquaza or Garchomp despite all three appearing under Dragon.
Energy Zone: Fighting, Metal. Open the source QR image. Published list and pack requirements.
