Jumpluff ex is a Stage 2 Grass-type Pokemon card introduced in the Secluded Springs expansion. While it isn’t as meta-defining as Suicune ex, Jumpluff ex has a unique pivot mechanic that makes it a dark horse selection. So let’s see how to make the most out of a deck built around Jumpluff ex.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Best Jumpluff Ex Deck Guide Overview

Jumpluff ex’s appeal is its move Breeze-by Attack. While it only deals 70 damage, it gives you the option to switch out from the Active Spot at the end of your turn. Additionally, the move only needs a single Colorless Energy. This allows Jumpluff ex to be played alongside many other Energy types besides Grass Energy. However, it works well with Oricorio, as it can be switched in as a wall to prevent damage from opposing Pokemon ex. As a result, this deck can run Lightning Energy.

How To Play This Best Jumpluff Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Ideal Starting Hand

You would want to put a Hoppip in the Active Spot. However, Oricorio also works as a wall if you don’t have a Rare Candy and a Jumpluff ex in your hand ready to go.

Here’s the strategy for this deck:

  • Jumpluff ex uses Breeze-by Attack to deal damage and switch out if the matchup is unfavorable.
  • Oricorio should be switched in against opposing Pokemon ex to slow your opponent’s progress.
  • Finally, Zeraora can be a nice secondary attacker as it can accumulate Energy slowly on the Bench and attack once ready.

As this deck uses Oricorio and Zeraora, Suicune ex decks can struggle against it. However, be careful, as having too many Pokemon on your Bench without Oricorio in the Active Spot can make it susceptible to Suicune ex’s attacks.

Pokemon that have high HP, like Solgaleo ex or Arceus ex, which can withstand Jumpluff ex’s relatively low damage output, can use Sabrina or Repel to swap Oricorio out of the Active Spot and KO your other Pokemon.
