Much like the animal it is based on, Copperajah ex is a card that likes to rely on how huge it is. This includes a massive HP stat of 300, an ability that lowers the amount of damage it takes, and a move powerful enough to KO a good portion of the metagame. That said, since its move causes recoil and has a high energy cost, Copperajah can be hard to use. But if you can pull it off, this deck can be a big deal for the opposition.

Pokemon TCG Best Copperajah Ex Deck Guide Overview

Copperajah ex utilizes its HP stat of 300 to take hits and set up. Once done, it can unleash its move Nosequake dealing 260 damage to the Defending Pokemon. In return, the opponent will deal less damage to Copperajah ex thanks to its ability, Bronze Body, which lowers the power of opposing attacks by 30.
