Kilowattrel ex employs an odd hit-and-run strategy, except the first time around it doesn’t even hit. Its first move, Return Charge, lets it switch out to the Bench while attaching Energy to itself. It can then use those attached Energy to deal massive damage the next time it enters the Active Spot with its move Thunder Lance. Thunder Lance does 40 damage plus 40 more for each Lightning Energy attached to Kilowattrel ex, which can be quickly added by using its other move, Return Charge.

Pokemon TCG Best Kilowattrel Ex Deck Guide Overview

The plan is to use Kilowattrel ex’s Return Charge repeatedly to attach as much Lightning Energy as possible. The Pokémon that will be switched in from the Bench will be either Mimikyu or Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex to block the opponent’s Defending Pokémon from attacking. Once Kilowattrel ex has enough Energy attached, it will spam Thunder Lance to win.
