Learn the best way to use a Reshiram ex Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Reshiram ex is a powerful new Fire-type attacker that is looking to burn a spot in the current Pokemon TCG meta. Its claim to fame is its move Blazing Burst, which can potentially deal up to 380 damage depending on the number of Prizes your opponent has taken.
So let’s take a look at the best way to play Reshiram ex so that it can “Fire Blast” the competition to cinders.
Pokemon TCG Best Reshiram Ex Deck Guide Overview
The plan for this deck is to team up Reshiram ex with its fellow White Flare expansion card Emboar. Emboar’s ability Inferno Fandango lets you attach as many Fire-type Energy from your hand to any of your Pokemon as you want, easily meeting the Energy requirements for Blazing Burst. However, Blazing Burst only becomes effective once your opponent starts taking Prizes, so until then Gouging Fire is an option to use early on.

How To Play This Best Reshiram Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG
Ideal Starting Hand
Getting Reshiram early on isn’t particularly useful. A combination of Gouging Fire ex and Air Balloon would be ideal so that it can hold the Active Spot until Reshiram ex is ready to start dealing massive damage.
Best Reshiram Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG: Key Cards
Here’s the strategy for this deck:
- Gouging Fire ex starts off in the Active Spot, dealing damage with Blaze Blitz every other turn and switching out with an attached Air Balloon.
- Emboar should be set up on your Bench to attach as many Basic Fire Energy from your hand to your other Pokemon.
- Finally, when your opponent has taken enough Prizes, unleash Reshiram ex and spam Blazing Burst. Use Emboar to attach the lost Fire Energy after using it.
- Cards like Earthen Vessel help get more Fire Energy, while Night Stretcher, Superior Energy Retrieval, and Max Rod will help get back any discarded Energy.
