Learn the best way to use a Hydreigon ex Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Hydreigon ex from Surging Sparks is a powerhouse of a card. Both of its moves are powerful and have useful secondary effects. Its first move, Crushing Headbutt, deals 200 damage and mills 3 cards from the top of the opponent’s deck. However, its second move, Obsidian, is what makes it very appealing to Pokemon TCG players. Obsidian deals 130 damage to the Defending Pokemon and 130 damage to two of the opponent’s Benched Pokemon. So, let’s take a look at the best way to use Hydreigon ex in the current Pokemon TCG meta.
