Mega Greninja ex (350 HP, Stage 2). This is the reason to buy the deck. Its Mortal Shuriken Ability works once during your turn while it's in the Active Spot: discard a Basic Water Energy from your hand to place 6 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. That's 60 damage anywhere on their side. Its Ninja Spinner attack costs two Water Energy and does 120, or 200 if you put a Water Energy attached to it into your hand.

Mega Starmie ex (330 HP, Stage 1). The second attacker. Jetting Blow costs one Water Energy and does 120, plus 50 to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Nebula Beam costs three Energy of any type and does 210, ignoring Weakness, Resistance and effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon.

Meowth ex (170 HP, Basic). When you play it from your hand onto your Bench, Last-Ditch Catch searches your deck for a Supporter. Tuck Tail then lets it pick itself back up into your hand, along with anything attached.

  • Rare Candy evolves a Basic straight to its Stage 2, skipping the Stage 1. You can't use it on your first turn, or on a Basic you put into play that turn.
  • Surfing Beach is a Stadium: once during each player's turn, that player can switch their Active Water Pokémon with a Benched Water Pokémon. It works for your opponent too, if they're playing Water.
  • Special Red Card only works if your opponent has 3 or fewer Prize cards left. They shuffle their hand to the bottom of their deck and, if they did, draw 3.
  • Lillie's Determination shuffles your hand away and draws 6, or 8 if you have exactly 6 Prize cards.

05 · How it plays

How does the Mega Greninja ex deck play?

The plan is to get Mega Greninja ex out fast and keep it using Mortal Shuriken every turn.

1Set up on turn oneBench Froakie, ideally two or more. Mantine's Call for Family puts up to 2 Basic Pokémon onto your Bench, and Froakie's Collect draws a card. Frogadier's Summoning Jutsu searches for up to 3 Pokémon if you evolve the slower way.
2Evolve on turn twoPlay Rare Candy on a Froakie you put down last turn to go straight to Mega Greninja ex. Attach Water Energy to it as you go.
3Use Mortal ShurikenWith Mega Greninja ex in the Active Spot, discard a Basic Water Energy from your hand for 6 damage counters. Pick off a damaged or low-HP target, or soften up the Pokémon you plan to attack.
4Use Surfing Beach to swapYour Mega Greninja ex needs to be Active to use its Ability. Surfing Beach moves a Benched one into the Active Spot, so with two in play you can use Mortal Shuriken with each in the same turn.
5Keep the Energy comingNinja Spinner's extra 80 damage returns a Water Energy to your hand, ready for the next Mortal Shuriken. Energy Retrieval brings back up to 2 Basic Energy from your discard pile.

Mega Starmie ex covers the other jobs. Jetting Blow is strong for one Energy, and Nebula Beam gets around Pokémon that block effects.

!The riskEach Mega Evolution Pokémon ex gives up 3 Prize cards when it's Knocked Out, so two Knock Outs on your Megas can lose you the game. Both are also weak to Lightning. Plan to take big Knock Outs early and think about what you leave exposed.

06 · Who it's for

Who is the Mega Greninja ex League Battle Deck for?

  • Players who know the rules and want a Standard deck. This is a full 60-card list you can bring to a league night without buying more cards.
  • Players moving on from a beginner deck. Choosing where damage counters go and when to swap Pokémon are decisions you'll get better at over time.
  • People who want the cards. It's a way to pick up several useful Trainers along with the Pokémon, including four Poké Pad and four Lillie's Determination.

It's not where we'd start a complete beginner. Stage 2 evolution, Rare Candy timing and the 3-Prize risk are a lot to learn at once. If that's you, read our guide to the best way to start Pokémon TCG and our how to play guide first.

In short: Level 2 decks teach the game, and this one gives you more decisions and more power once you know it. See every option in our Pokémon battle decks collection, or buy Chaos Rising singles if you're building your own version.

08 · Our take

Our take

Our take

A strong deck for players who are ready for it. Six Pokémon ex and a Stage 2 you can reach on turn two make this one of the more interesting boxes to pick up, and Mortal Shuriken gives you real choices every turn.

It's not a first deck, and the 3-Prize risk will punish sloppy play. If you've won a few games with a Level 2 deck and want something with more bite, this is a sensible next step.
