The Ultimate Pachirisu ex Deck Build for Pokémon TCG Pocket
Pachirisu ex Deck Build in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Zap your opponent's cards and make the most of Pokémon Tools with this remarkable Pachirisu ex deck.
Using a Pachirisu ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket is an incredibly efficient way to fully utilize the Pokémon Tools from the Space - Time Smackdown set.
If you're struggling against Water - type decks in Versus and Solo modes, and you're tired of using the traditional Pikachu ex build, Pachirisu ex offers an excellent off - meta alternative that you must try.
Pachirisu ex's offensive capabilities might seem modest compared to other Pokémon in the game. However, when combined with a Pokémon Tool, this card has the potential to eliminate almost any Basic to Stage 1 Pokémon in a single turn.
Besides Pokémon Tools, there are other cards that can enhance Pachirisu ex. In this post, we'll share those cards as part of a unique Pachirisu ex deck build.

How to Play Pachirisu ex Deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket
The deck list provided above gives you two options for the start of the game: either begin with a Pachirisu ex or an Electabuzz.
Starting the game with Pachirisu ex as your first Active Pokémon is a more favorable strategy in the early stages. This is because there's a high probability that you'll also have at least one Pokémon Tool in your hand. As long as you've drawn a Pokémon Tool and a Pachirisu ex, it's always advisable to play them together at the start of your turn.
Attach any Pokémon Tool to Pachirisu ex (ideally a Rocky Helmet) to activate the effect of its move, Sparking Gadget. This move will deal 80 damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon, and an additional 20 damage if Pachirisu ex takes retaliatory damage on the next turn.
If your opponent has a Pokémon ex that depends on a large number of Energies, Pachirisu ex should be able to deal with it before it can launch a powerful counter - attack.
While Pachirisu ex is doing the main work, you can power up your Electabuzz with Electric Energy until it has four Energies attached. Once it evolves into an Electivire, you can use it to finish the game if Pachirisu ex has low health or gets Knocked Out.
Other Notable Cards in the Deck
Pachirisu ex and Electivire alone may not have sufficient power to close out games in the later turns. Therefore, the following cards are included in the deck to boost their effectiveness:
Cyrus
When paired with Electabuzz, Cyrus enables you to target and eliminate some of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. When using these cards, focus on taking out the more vulnerable Basic Pokémon that can evolve into powerful ones, such as Ralts, Charmander, Misdreavus, and Magikarp.
Giant Cape, Rocky Helmet, and Lum Berry
Pachirisu ex can deal substantial damage only when a Pokémon Tool is attached to it. Having as many as five Pokémon Tools in the deck maximizes the chances of drawing one at any point during the game.
Rocky Helmet is the most effective Pokémon Tool for Pachirisu ex as it increases its damage output. However, Giant Cape and Lum Berry can also be useful, especially if you're unable to obtain a Rocky Helmet early in the game.
X Speed and Giovanni
A couple of X Speed cards allow you to switch out your low - health Pachirisu ex or bring your four - Energy Electivire from the Bench into play. A copy of Giovanni is also included in the deck. It provides a bit of extra damage when you don't need to use Cyrus in a particular turn.
Strong Against
Pachirisu ex can easily overpower any off - meta decks that are weak against Electric - type Pokémon, such as Lapras ex and Greninja decks.
Weak Against
Ground/Fighting decks can effectively counter Pachirisu ex and Electabuzz due to the type disadvantage. Additionally, if you don't have Cyrus in your hand, you might give your opponent enough turns to set up their main Pokémon cards.
