This attack also does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.
Lucario 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.
Aura Sphere on active
base 100 damage to active + 30 to one benched
100 KOs most non-ex Pokemon; 30 bench damage can set up follow-up KOs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
