Raichu ex is by no means a strong card or a deck to be played in ranked, but for those who happen to pull a couple of them and want to create a fun little Electric-type deck to play against friends, I did some slight testing this morning to find a workaround to help you.
As I'm trying to build a fun deck here, I decided to focus on some free cards that won't be hard to get on top of the Raichu ex, which appears in today's drop event. So if you want to put something quick together, take a gander at what I have created!
Best Raichu ex deck list in Pokémon TCG Pocket
| Card | Amount | Set |
|---|---|---|
| Pichu | 1 | Wisdom of Sea and Sky |
| Pikachu | 2 | Triumphant Light |
| Raichu ex | 2 | Promo A |
| Oricorio | 2 | Celestial Guardians |
| Magnemite | 2 | Genetic Apex |
| Magneton | 2 | Genetic Apex |
| Poké Ball | 2 | Promo-A |
| Professor’s Research | 2 | Promo-A |
| Cyrus | 1 | Space-Time Smackdown |
| Sabrina | 1 | Genetic Apex |
| Red | 1 | Shining Revelry |
| Elemental Switch | 2 | Wisdom of Sea and Sky |
Most of the deck revolves around stacking up Magneton with its ability to get additional Electric-type Energy and then using a card like Elemental Switch to put that Energy onto your Raichu ex. Oricorio is also there as an anti-ex card and offers some freedom to switch your strategy as needed.
There is room for shifting things around here, though, like removing the Red and Sabrina in favor of putting in a Magnezone to make the most of this energy switch formula, or obliterate Oriocorio if you want to get most of your cards from Genetic Apex.
Alternative variants also include using Pikachu ex or Pachirisu ex instead of the Magnemite base if you want to have some more options. There's also plenty of space for item cards, but going on the theme of a free-ish deck, this is what I came up with, so you hopefully don't need to open that many packs to find the cards you need for it.
There are plenty of other options, though, so let me know what decks you've made in the comments below for some other alternative takes and thoughts on how to get the best out of Raichu ex.
