GN Version 4.0


With amazing moves and abundant HP, the new Mega Evolution Pokémon are definitely worth a lot of attention. But they’re only one part of the awesome cards in the XY expansion—Pokémon-EX continue to make their presence felt, too. Check out two cards that are particularly effective at countering the might of Xerneas-EX and Yveltal-EX.

Skarmory-EXSkarmory-EX vs. Xerneas-EX

Skarmory-EX (80/146) can attack quickly, because you can use its Joust attack with a Double Colorless Energy attached. Seal your victory in the final stages of the game by dealing massive amounts of damage with the Tailspin Piledriver attack. Xerneas-EX has Weakness to Metal-type Pokémon, making Skarmory-EX a potent foe.

Emolga-EXEmolga-EX vs. Yveltal-EX

Emolga-EX (46/146) has no Retreat Cost, so it’s very easy to get it in and out of the action. Even better, its Electron Crush attack can deal a maximum of 90 damage. Yveltal-EX is weak to Lightning-type Pokémon, so Electron Crush will do enough damage for a one-hit Knock Out!
