Strategy Guide
Auto-generatedLucario ex wins by using Aura Sphere to deal 100 damage to the active and 30 to a benched target simultaneously, threatening multiple knockouts across two turns. The deck supplements Lucario ex with the Annihilape line for additional fighting pressure.
Poké Ball finds Riolu (Lucario ex's Basic) directly. Evolve into Lucario ex and build to three fighting energy. Once active, Aura Sphere deals 100 damage plus 30 to one benched Pokemon, pressuring two targets simultaneously. The Annihilape line (Mankey into Primeape into Annihilape via Rare Candy) provides a second attacker. Training Area, Pokémon Center Lady, and Potion provide healing to keep Lucario ex in the fight longer. Cyrus and Red Card add disruption in key turns.

Strengths
- Aura Sphere deals 30 damage to the bench every use, creating pressure across multiple targets simultaneously.
- A combined Mankey-Annihilape line provides a second fighting attacker, so the deck does not rely solely on Lucario ex.
- Training Area supports energy management, helping maintain the three-energy cost of Aura Sphere over multiple turns.
Weaknesses
- Lucario ex is an ex — its knockout scores your opponent 2 points, putting them one more KO away from winning.ex KO
- The deck has a 14.3% win rate in tournament data — consistent execution is difficult against the current meta.Consistency
- Three fighting energy is a steep cost; slow energy attachment delays Aura Sphere by several turns.Tempo
- Psychic-type attackers exploit Lucario ex's fighting weakness, dealing double damage.Matchup
How to Play
Target the Bench with Aura Sphere to Stack Damage
Every Aura Sphere deals 30 to a chosen benched Pokemon. Aim this at a high-value target — an opposing ex or the Pokemon they are actively evolving. After two Aura Sphere hits, a benched Pokemon at 60 damage is primed for a KO via Sabrina pull or opponent promotion, enabling a follow-up point.

Evolve Annihilape as a Second Attacker
Mankey evolves into Primeape and then Annihilape (Rare Candy can skip Primeape). Having Annihilape on the bench gives you a second fighting attacker if Lucario ex is knocked out. Pokémon Center Lady and Potion can heal Lucario ex between attacks to extend its lifespan and delay your opponent's 2-point KO.

How to Beat This Deck
KO Lucario ex Quickly for 2 Points
Lucario ex has 150 HP and needs three energy to attack. Aggressive ex attackers that hit 100-plus per turn can KO it in two hits before it fully pays off. The 2-point KO leaves the Lucario ex player needing to score 3 more points with a secondary attacker, a difficult recovery.
Avoid Stacking Your Bench as Aura Sphere Targets
Aura Sphere places 30 damage on a bench target each turn. Keep your bench lean — do not overcommit high-value basics or evolving lines unless necessary. Fewer bench targets means the 30 damage hits something expendable rather than your primary attacker or a key support Pokemon.
Exploit Lucario ex's Psychic Weakness
Lucario ex is weak to psychic type. Psychic-type attackers deal double damage and can KO Lucario ex well below its 150 HP threshold. This nets 2 points immediately and strips the deck of its primary attacker, often forcing the opponent into an underpowered Annihilape finish.
Common Substitutions
Healing support
- Pokémon Center Lady:Heals 30 damage from Lucario ex to delay KO and push back the opponent's 2-point scoring window
- Potion:Additional healing item to extend Lucario ex survivability
Secondary fighting attacker
- Annihilape:Stage 2 backup attacker; Rare Candy can skip Primeape to accelerate deployment
