Pokémon TCG Pocket players want to avoid the best cards in battles, find creative solutions

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, the special ex cards have an advantage over the normal cards. To avoid battles against strong ex-decks, players have now taken advantage of the private battles feature.

What are ex cards? ex cards are special cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket that have more HP than regular cards and stronger attacks.

For example, a normal Charizard card has 150 HP and the Fire Spin attack with 150 damage, while the ex card has 180 HP and two attacks, each with 80 and 200 damage.

ex cards are so useful that players build their entire deck around these cards. One of the strongest decks is the Pikachu ex Deck: Pikachu ex Deck – This is how you build one of the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Private battles without ex-cards

What’s the problem with ex cards? ex cards are so superior to normal cards that the probability of winning with a normal deck against an ex deck is low. This creates an imbalance between players because ex cards are very rare.

In addition, many still need preliminary developments, such as the Gengar ex card. So not only the ex card itself has to be drawn, but also the previous developments.

The difference between F2P players and paying players is particularly noticeable in this way. Paying players have much higher probabilities of having multiple ex cards in their decks.

What is the solution? To enter a private battle, both players must enter the same password. The idea came up on Reddit that players who play a deck without ex-cards and only want such opponents should simply use the private battles function.

The password is set to what is expected in the players’ deck:

  • noex: Both decks are without any ex cards
  • 1ex: Both decks each have an ex card
  • abc: Only A, B, or C tier decks are used; so less powerful decks
