Pokémon-EX returned with 180 HP basics, and N rewrote the rules of comebacks. The era of full-art cards and the first truly global competitive circuit.
As listas abaixo são builds representativas de como cada arquétipo era mais comumente jogado — não listas exatas arquivadas de torneios.
Emboar's Inferno Fandango attaches unlimited Fire energy per turn, turning Reshiram's Blue Flare into an every-turn 120-damage sledgehammer.
Eelektrik's Dynamotor recycles Lightning energy from the discard every turn, keeping Zekrom and Mewtwo EX fueled indefinitely. The consistency benchmark of early BW.
Night Spear hits the active and the bench at once while Dark Patch accelerates energy from the discard, and Darkrai's free retreat for Darkness Pokémon keeps the board mobile.
Thundurus EX, Deoxys EX and Kyurem combine through Team Plasma synergy: Deoxys boosts every Plasma attack and Kyurem's Frost Spear snipes the bench while Colress Machine accelerates.
Virizion EX's Verdant Wind blocks all special conditions while Emerald Slash ramps energy onto Genesect EX, whose Red Signal drags up whatever target G Booster wants to delete.
