Vortex Gaming

The new ex card Ptera ex from Island of Illusions has the ability to prevent the opponent's battle Pokémon from evolving.

The energy required to use the skill is only 2, but the damage is a bit low at 80.

Therefore, like other Pokémon ex, it is difficult to develop it on the bench and use it as a main Pokémon, so a sub Pokémon combination is important.

✅Ptera Deck Features

· Complete Ptera ex on the bench to activate the characteristic effect

· Lower HP and damage compared to other Pokémon ex

· Mainly used in combination with Fighting-type Pokémon that are strong in the early stages as the second Pokémon

· Spends power in the early to mid game but is weak in the late game

✅How to operate the Ptera Deck

· Start with a sub Pokémon that is strong in the early stages

· Set up a Secret Pot on the bench and prepare Ptera ex

· After completing Ptera ex, actively utilize Erika's Invitation

1️⃣Ptera ex + Primeape + Mew ex Deck Operation Method

· Adopt Primeape, which can attack with little energy, as an early-game Pokémon

· If you have a promo Mankey, the promo Mankey + Strongest Gene Primeape combination is also effective

· Mew ex is effective as a hidden card to counter Mewtwo ex or Charizard ex in the late game

2️⃣Ptera ex + Farfetch'd + Marshadow Deck Operation Method

· Develop around Farfetch'd, which is very strong in the early stages

· Marshadow, which can be linked with strong damage after Farfetch'd is defeated

· Hitmonlee, which can attack Magikarp on the opponent's bench to counter the Gyarados deck

· A deck that loses power in the mid-to-late game due to the lack of a powerful one-shot

3️⃣Ptera ex + Marowak ex Deck Operation Method

· Adopt Marowak ex, which is strong in the early stages

· 1 Hitmonlee that can attack Magikarp on the opponent's bench to counter the Gyarados deck

· Just preparing Marshadow by attaching 1 energy to the bench can somewhat suppress the opponent's attack

4️⃣Ptera ex + Kabutops + Chatot Deck Operation Method

· A deck that quickly obtains the necessary cards by drawing new cards with Chatot

· Since the only basic Pokémon is Chatot, the first start is very stable

· Lack of powerful one-shot damage

5️⃣Ptera ex + Arbok Deck Operation Method

· A deck that excludes Ptera ex's combat power and only utilizes its characteristics

· Only uses Dark energy, Ptera ex only exhibits its characteristics on the bench

· Survive until Ptera ex and Arbok are ready with Koffing + Weezing juggling

· Tie up weak opponent's battle Pokémon with Arbok and prevent evolution with Ptera ex
