Mega Lucario ex and Hitmonlee Deck — plan and trade-offs
Hitmonlee provides another early Basic while the Riolu line develops into Mega Lucario ex; Lucario is also present as a separate evolution option. Korrina and Arena of Antiquity are included in the published support package.
Energy Zone: 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.
Rampardos and Lucario Deck — plan and trade-offs
The list combines the Skull Fossil / Rampardos line with Riolu / Lucario. Rare Candy appears twice, so the evolution route must be considered alongside the single Cranidos rather than assuming two full intermediate lines.

Mega Lucario ex and Darkrai Deck — plan and trade-offs
This alternate Mega Lucario list pairs Riolu with Igglybuff and Darkrai and carries two X Speed. Its Basic package and movement cards differ from the Hitmonlee variant; copy the actual list rather than attaching a tournament win rate from another build.
