Greninja ex from the Twilight Masquerade expansion is a card focused on dealing damage to the opponent’s Bench as well as the Defending Pokemon. The cards in this deck aim to spread out as much damage as they can to multiple cards at once. This lets you take multiple prizes by KO’ing Pokemon with small HP stats.

Pokemon TCG Best Greninja Ex Deck Guide Overview

The strategy here is to set up with Greninja ex from Twilight Masquerade and alternate between its two moves to deal damage. Shinobi Blade deals 170 damage and acts as a draw engine for a specific card. However, its second move, Mirage Barrage, does 120 damage each to two of your opponent’s Pokemon. Once the opponent’s Pokemon are heavily damaged, you’ll clean up with Greninja ex from Scarlet and Violet Promos and Munkidori.
