Learn the best way to use a Palafin ex Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Palafin ex is a card that relies heavily on switching in and out of the Active Spot. As a result, the rest of the deck is built around that mechanic. Not only are the Pokemon cards in the deck meant to benefit from regular switching, but the Trainer cards as well. This makes Palafin ex a risky combination to pull off, but it can be rewarding if done well.
Pokemon TCG Best Palafin Ex Deck Guide Overview
The plan is to switch between Palafin ex and other damage-dealing cards in this deck so that you can deal over 200 damage each turn. While some of the Pokemon have ways to switch around easily, there are Trainer cards in the deck like Switch, Rescue Board, and Jet Energy to help make this easier to pull off.

- Palafin from Obsidian Flames is another attacker that can deal 210 damage with its move Justice Kick if it switches in on the same turn.
- N’s Zoroark ex is an alternate attacker that can copy either Palafin or Palafin ex’s moves with its move Night Joker. With the Stadium card N’s Castle set up, it also has no Retreat Cost.
