Strategy Guide
Auto-generatedMarowak ex aims to land two heads on Bonemerang for 160 damage, one-shotting most targets and scoring 2 points for a KO on the opposing ex. The deck pairs Marowak ex with Lucario for early Fighting pressure while the coin-flip finisher charges up.
Open by benching Cubone and a Riolu, using Poké Ball to secure your basics and Professor's Research or Copycat to dig toward Marowak ex and Lucario. In the mid-game, push Lucario active to trade early points while Marowak ex charges two Fighting Energy on the bench. Late game, promote Marowak ex and swing with Bonemerang; a two-heads result deals 160 damage and claims a 2-point swing that can end the match. Cyrus can redirect incoming damage or force a favorable trade when you are behind on points.

How to Play
Charge Marowak ex Behind a Lucario Wall
Start Riolu active and use the first turns to attach Fighting Energy to Cubone on the bench. Lucario applies immediate pressure and may score a point while Marowak ex finishes its evolution. Once two Fighting Energy sit on Marowak ex, promote it and swing with Bonemerang for maximum impact.
Use Cyrus to Protect Your ex Investment
Marowak ex is worth 2 points when knocked out, so use Cyrus to redirect damage away from it during setup turns. Will can shuffle a damaged Marowak ex back to hand to deny your opponent a scoring opportunity, buying time to redeploy. Pokémon Center Lady heals chip damage during the same window.
How to Beat This Deck
Exploit Bonemerang's Zero-Heads Turns
When Marowak ex flips zero heads, its entire turn is wasted without Energy removed. Use that window to heal, retreat, or charge a response attacker. Opponents running healing Trainers like Pokémon Center Lady can erase the 80-damage one-heads result before Marowak ex attacks again.
Target the Cubone Before It Evolves
Marowak ex cannot reach the field without Cubone surviving setup. Bench-sniping tools or spread attackers can deny the evolution line before it completes, stranding the deck without its win condition and forcing reliance on Lucario alone.
Run Water or Grass Attackers
Fighting-type attackers typically carry weaknesses to Grass or Water types. Putting a Grass or Water ex attacker active forces Marowak ex into an unfavorable exchange. Confirmed bad matchups include Suicune ex, and decks that resist or exploit typing will outscore this deck reliably.
Common Substitutions
Early attacker
- Hitmontop:Non-ex Fighting attacker that avoids the ex 2-point loss condition if promoted early
