Milotic ex has emerged as an anti-meta pick that players must always plan for. This is because its ability Sparkling Scales prevents all effects of attacks from Tera Pokemon, including damage. As such these decks have earned the nickname “The Wall.” By pairing Milotic ex with some other cards of a similar nature, they become hard to break through.

So, let’s discuss Milotic ex and how to utilize it the best in the current Pokemon TCG meta.

Pokemon TCG Best Milotic Ex Deck Guide Overview

Milotic ex should be paired with two other ex cards that also prevent certain forms of damage. These two, Farigiraf ex and Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex, work well with Milotic ex to prevent most forms of damage from current meta threats.

Farigiraf ex does not take any damage from Basic Pokemon ex, while Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex does not take any damage from Pokemon with abilities. As a result, unprepared decks might as well surrender if they do not have specific means to answer these three cards.

Getting a Girafarig or a Feebas early on is a good start. However, Fan Rotom is also best used on your first turn to set up all three Girafarig on your side of the field.

Raging Bolt ex and baby Raging Bolt are a combination that has seen some success against these types of decks. Neither have abilities so they can attack Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex. Also, neither of them are Tera Pokemon, so they can deal with Milotic ex as well and can exploit its weakness to Lightning-types. Finally, while Raging Bolt ex cannot take on Farigiraf ex, baby Raging Bolt can.

Best Milotic Ex Deck Guide in Pokemon TCG: Tip

Do not use your Poké Vital A early on. Try to hold onto it near the end of the match and use it on the card that has the best matchup against your opponent.
