The God of all Pokemon, Arceus Ex, has made an early entrance into *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, bringing with it a suite of synergistic Pokemon that can elevate your gameplay. Here's a breakdown of the top Arceus Ex decks you can build in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* to dominate the competition.

Best Arceus Ex Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Arceus Ex boasts an ability that renders it immune to status conditions like Sleep and Confused, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield. Its Ultimate Force attack is particularly potent, dealing 70 damage plus an additional 20 for each benched Pokemon when powered by 3 Colorless energy. When fully powered up, Arceus Ex can unleash a staggering 130 damage.

Arceus Ex synergizes with eight different Pokemon from the Triumphant Light expansion, each equipped with a unique "link" ability that activates in the presence of an Arceus Ex or regular Arceus:

• Carnivine (Power Link)
• Heatran (Speed Link)
• Abomasnow (Vigor Link)
• Raichu (Resilience Link)
• Rotom (Speed Link)
• Tyranitar (Power Link)
• Crobat (Cunning Link)
• Magnezone (Resilience Link)

Among these, Crobat, Magnezone, and Heatran stand out as particularly effective. Let's dive into an Arceus Ex deck for each of these key partners.

Crobat (Dark Energy)

• 2x Arceus Ex
• 2x Zubat (Triumphant Light)
• 2x Golbat (Genetic Apex)
• 2x Crobat
• 1x Spiritomb
• 1x Farfetch’d
• 2x Professor’s Research
• 2x Dawn
• 2x Cyrus
• 2x Poke Ball
• 2x Pokemon Communication

This deck leverages two main attackers: Crobat and Arceus Ex. With Arceus Ex in play, Crobat can deal 30 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon directly from the bench. Additionally, Crobat hits for 50 damage with just one Dark energy, making it an excellent companion for Arceus Ex as you power it up with three Colorless energies.

With Arceus Ex fully powered on the bench, you can retreat Crobat into it at no cost, delivering a 130-damage hit if your bench is full. Farfetch’d adds some pressure, while Spiritomb spreads damage to your opponent's bench, setting up knockouts with Cyrus.

Dialga Ex/Magnezone (Metal Energy)

• 2x Arceus Ex
• 2x Dialga Ex
• 2x Magnemite (Triumphant Light)
• 2x Magneton (Genetic Apex)
• 1x Magnezone (Triumphant Light)
• 1x Magnezone (Genetic Apex)
• 1x Skarmory
• 2x Professor’s Research
• 2x Leaf
• 2x Giant’s Cape
• 1x Rocky Helmet
• 2x Poke Ball

In this deck, Arceus Ex takes the lead, with both versions of Magnezone providing backup. The Triumphant Light Magnezone reduces incoming damage by 30 when Arceus Ex is present, while the Genetic Apex version deals 110 damage but requires the use of Magneton’s Volt Charge ability before evolving. Note that the Genetic Apex Magneton can only be powered by Electric energy, so timing your evolution is crucial.

Given Arceus Ex's need for a full bench to maximize its damage output, Skarmory joins the lineup along with two Giant’s Capes and a Rocky Helmet. The Giant’s Capes help Dialga Ex and Arceus Ex withstand heavy hits while powering up Skarmory.

Heatran (Fire Energy)

• 2x Arceus Ex
• 2x Heatran (Triumphant Light)
• 2x Ponyta (Mythical Island)
• 2x Rapidash (Genetic Apex)
• 1x Farfetch’d
• 2x Professor’s Research
• 1x Blaine
• 1x Cyrus
• 1x Dawn
• 2x Giant’s Cape
• 2x Poke Ball
• 2x X Speed

This deck offers a high-octane Fire type strategy reminiscent of the Ninetails Blaine deck. Early threats come from Heatran, Rapidash, and Farfetch’d, which require minimal energy to become active, while Arceus Ex powers up on the bench. Giant’s Cape is key to keeping Heatran in play, also pushing Arceus Ex past the crucial 150 HP mark.

With Arceus Ex in play, Heatran can retreat for free, allowing you to cycle through your Pokemon at a low energy cost. Its Ragin’ Fury attack deals 80 damage with two Fire energies if Heatran has been damaged, otherwise it deals 40 damage, which can still be impactful early in a match.

As *Pokemon TCG Pocket* evolves, more strategies involving Arceus Ex will surely emerge. For now, these are the top decks to leverage the power of this legendary Pokemon.
