Learn the best way to play a Marnie’s Morpeko deck as well as the complementary cards that enhance its performance.

While Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex is one of the breakout cards of the Destined Rivals expansion, Marnie’s Morpeko is a bit of an underrated powerhouse in its own right. Its move has the ability to be quite destructive, especially with a little help from cards like Janine’s Secret Art and, interestingly enough, Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex.
In this article, we will focus on the best possible Marnie’s Morpeko deck for the current Pokemon TCG meta.
Pokemon TCG Best Marnie’s Morpeko Deck Guide Overview
The goal is to use Marnie’s Morpeko’s move, Spiky Wheel. This move has a base of 20 damage but does 40 more for each Basic Darkness Energy attached to the card. Use cards like Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex and Janine’s Secret Art to add a few more Darkness Energy to Morpeko, making its damage output massive. Additionally, as it is a single Prize attacker, your opponent doesn’t gain much if this card is KO’d.

Some things to consider while playing this deck
- As Basic Darkness Energy is the only source of Energy in this deck, Munkidori is a lot easier to play on the Bench.
- Since the cards in the Active Spot are going to end up Poisoned most of the time, Pecharunt ex is a decent card to keep on the Bench for switch tactics.
