Flygon ex is a Fighting-type Stage 2 Tera Pokemon card. While on paper its damage output may not seem very high, it’s not exactly meant to function as a one-hit KO machine. Instead it’s more of a pivot, adopting a hit-and-run playstyle. This way it’s meant to force opponents to either not deal damage or rethink their strategy.

So, let’s take a look at the best deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta with Flygon ex at its core.

Pokemon TCG Best Flygon Ex Deck Guide Overview

The gameplay of this deck involves using Flygon ex’s first move, Reversing Storm. This move deals 130 damage and switches Flygon onto the Bench. Taking advantage of this, you will switch in a Pokemon that takes no damage from the Defending Pokemon’s attacks based on what type of Pokemon it is.

How To Play This Best Flygon Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG

Ideal Starting Hand

You want a Trapinch, a Rare Candy, and a Flygon ex card on your first turn. If you don’t have a Rare Candy, having Arven is great to immediately get one. However, if you end up going first, Carmine is a useful card to discard and draw a new hand.
