Poliwrath EX Deck In Pokemon TCG Pocket

Poliwrath EX is a very powerful Pokemon card with 180 HP, which allows it to tank so many hits. It’s also not a demanding card since it’s easy to manage the card’s energy requirements. Since it needs both Fighting and Water energy, players can either play Poliwrath EX deck with another Fighting Pokemon like Lucario, or focus more on Poliwag's evolution by bringing Politoed.

Poliwrath EX And Lucario Deck

Pokemon Cards	Poliwag x2 Poliwrath EX x2 Mantyke x2 Riolu x2 Lucario x2
Trainer Cards	Professor's Research x2 Poke Ball x2 Rare Candy x2 Pokemon Communication x1 Leaf x1 Irida x2
Energy	Fighting

This deck builds Poliwrath EX to one-shot everything in front of it. So, bringing a Politoed card on top of the two Lucario behind Poliwrath EX will be overkill, as Poliwrath EX can already defeat many Pokemon cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

The perfect start is to have at least one Mantyke and one Poliwag in your hand. Mantyke should give Poliwag water energy before evolving into Poliwrath EX. After that, Poliwrath EX will just keep getting better and better with every Lucario behind him. Additionally, it’s crucial to have a Pokemon Communication card instead of bringing cards like Cyrus or Sabrina. These Supporter cards are important, but it’s more important to shuffle through all these Pokemon cards to accelerate setting up the field for Poliwrath EX in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Poliwrath EX And Politoed Deck

Pokemon Cards	Poliwag x2 Poliwrath EX x1 Politoed x1 Miltank x2
Trainer Cards	Professor's Research x2 Poke Ball x2 Rare Candy x2 Irida x2 Ilima x2 Leftovers x2 Whitney x2
Energy	Fighting Water

This Poliwrath EX deck doesn’t have a lot of Pokemon cards; instead, it focuses on support cards to make sure Poliwrath EX is maxed and ready to go. Since there are no starter Pokemon cards like Mantyke to feed Poliwrath EX energy, it may take a little longer to get Poliwrath EX ready. So, it’s important to bring a tanky basic Pokemon card like Miltank.

The perfect start is by having Miltank on the active spot. It doesn’t require a lot of energy to attack, and its attack continuously gets stronger, forcing your opponent to deal with it. While your opponent is busy with Miltank, build both Politoed and Poliwrath EX from behind it. When Poliwrath EX is ready, Ilima can simply take Miltank away if the card gets critically low. However, it’s also viable to let Miltank fall as Poliwrath EX is coming next to one-shot everything in the game.

Cards like Whitney and Leftovers are for protecting Miltank when it is in the active spot. You can use one Leftovers card for Miltank while saving the other for Poliwrath EX. Also, Irida offers another layer of protection since the deck generates water energy, and both Miltank and Poliwrath EX can benefit from the card’s healing.
