Learn the best way to use a Pidgeot ex Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.

Pidgeot ex is a common support card in several Pokemon TCG decks. However, it has its own control deck which involves using its ability Quick Search to find the right cards each turn to throttle the opponent. Notably this deck isn’t focused on taking Prizes through KOs but instead forcing the opponent to deck out as result of discarding cards or an inability to attack
Pokemon TCG Best Pidgeot ex Deck Guide Overview
As an anti-meta deck, there are several cards in this deck that can be extremely useful depending on the situation and utterly useless otherwise. However, in all of these situations, the goal is to set up Pidgeot ex on the Bench to use its Quick Search ability to find the right card. Your Active Pokemon should be one that either your opponent struggles to KO or provides some form of utility. All the while you will play cards to whittle down the opponent’s deck.
