Learn the best way to use a Jellicent ex Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Jellicent ex comes just in time for Gardevoir ex to get a powerful ally before Worlds 2025. This combination has already seen success in the Japan Championships 2025. The key reason why Jellicent ex has become a part of this archetype is its ability, Oceanic Curse. This ability shuts down Item and Tool usage from the opponent’s side as long as Jellicent ex is in the Active Spot.

How To Play This Best Jellicent Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG
Ideal Starting Hand
Getting a Frillish on your first turn is actually pretty useful, as it can also act as an Item lock card. Its move Oceanic Gloom does 20 damage for one Basic Psychic Energy and prevents the opponent from playing any Items. The only downside of playing Frillish directly in the Active Spot is that swapping it out is impractical due to its high Retreat Cost of three Energy.

Something to consider while using this deck
- Klefki is a card that can become very useful in mirror matches, stopping cards like Munkidori and Lillie’s Clefairy ex from functioning.
- If you don’t want to attach too much Psychic Energy to Jellicent ex, you can use it to devolve the opponent’s Pokemon with Technical Machine: Devolution.
- It’s very likely that your opponent will employ gusting strategies with Boss’s Orders to get Jellicent ex out of the Active Spot. Thus, the Supporter cards they will play will be a bit limited. Try to take advantage of this to disrupt your opponent’s plans further with Iono or Counter Catcher.
