Best Suicune ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Suicune ex is a fun deck to appear in Secluded Springs today, so I wanted to put together a quick deck list if, like me, you wanted to jump in and test it while coming up with different fun options on how to make the best use out of the new set of cards.

Again. I say fun deck. Not everyone playing Pokémon TCG Pocket is tryharding to climb the ranked level using the same meta-heavy decks; some people do want to have fun and create something for fun. So, if you use my deck list, do so to enjoy yourself and not sweat to Master rank.

Card Amount Set
Suicune ex 2 Secluded Springs
Mantyke 2 Secluded Springs
Gyarados ex 2 Mythical Island
Magikarp 2 Mythical Island
Poké Ball 2 Promo-A
Red Card 1 Promo-A
Fishing Net 2 Celestial Guardians (Lunala)
Professor's Research 2 Promo-A
Misty 2 Genetic Apex (Pikachu)
Leaf 2 Mythical Island
Fisher 1 Wisdom of Sea and Sky (Lugia)

What I have attempted to do here is take a Gyarados ex core and add Suicune to it, using some new cards from Secluded Springs, including Mantyke, which can get you some Water-type Energy onto your backline if you can get it out early enough. Don't expect it to survive; it is mainly there to help you set up either your Gyrados ex or Suicune ex, and is an extra slot in the back line to give you additional attack power for your Suicune ex.

You are mainly going to watch to switch between Suicune ex and your other cards to benefit your situation. If your opponent doesn't have many Benched Pokémon, you aren't going to be able to make use of its additional 20 damage effect, but you might want to have it up front to use its ability to get you a free card draw.

Card Amount Set
Suicune ex 2 Secluded Springs
Mantyke 2 Secluded Springs
Feebas 2 Secluded Springs
Milotic 2 Secluded Springs
Poké Ball 2 Promo-A
Mars 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)
Irida 2 Triumphant Light
Professor's Research 2 Promo-A
Cyrus 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)
Leaf 2 Mythical Island
X-Speed 1 Promo A

Alternatively, if you want to ruin someone's day, have a Water-type deck that won't die. This deck is arguably worthy of trying in the ranked ladder with some minor alterations, as trust me, you'll continuously be healing off of Milotic's ability, Idida's effect, and will constantly have a healed-up backline of Suicune ex to keep swapping in and out.

Mantyke is also just too good, allowing you to keep drawing cards on top of Suicune ex's ability. Try it out. Experience it for yourself.
