Ultra Necrozma ex isn’t just another flashy Dragon-type card. With its high-pressure attacks and brutal deck-disruption effect, this Ultra Beast can flip matches in your favor fast. But to truly make the most of it, you need the right deck, the right support, and the right timing. This guide breaks it all down in a crisp, simple way.
Why Ultra Necrozma ex is So Dangerous
Ultra Necrozma ex’s true strength lies not just in its raw power, but in how it
drains your opponent’s deck. It's move Shoegaze does 120 damage,
and forces both players to discard the top 5 cards from their deck. That’s massive in Pokémon TCG Pocket, where decks are capped at 20 cards. Pull off Shoegaze twice, and your opponent could be left with nothing.
The only catch? It needs 2 Psychic + 2 Metal Energy to activate. So, how do you fuel this beast quickly? That’s what the rest of this deck is all about.

Core Deck Build: What You’ll Need
Here’s the backbone of the best Ultra Necrozma ex deck:
- Ultra Necrozma ex (x2) – Your primary attacker and deck destroyer.
- Giratina ex (x2) – Psychic Energy generator. Crucial for setup.
- Lunala ex (x2) – Energy transfer specialist.
- Cosmog (x2) – Lunala’s pre-evolution.
- Rare Candy (x2) – Skip evolution stages fast.
- Metal Energy (x8) – Primary Energy type for Ultra Necrozma.
- Psychic Energy (x6) – Used in tandem via Giratina.
- Iono (x2) – Shuffle both hands into deck and draw.
- Professor’s Research (x2) – Draw power.
- Poké Ball (x2) – Quick access to Pokémon.
- Lusamine (x1) – Late-game recovery and ramp.

How to Win With This Deck?
Having this deck is one thing, but using it efficiently and winning is another. Here’s how you can win with this deck:
1. Early Game Setup
Start with Ultra Necrozma ex in the active slot. On your bench, set up Giratina ex and Cosmog. Use Trainer cards to dig for Rare Candy and Lunala ex.
- Turn 1: Attach Metal Energy to Ultra Necrozma.
- Use Giratina’s ability to attach a Psychic Energy from your Energy Zone (note: it ends your turn).
2. Mid-Game Power Play
Once Lunala ex is ready, use her Psychic Connect ability to shift all Psychic Energy from Giratina to Ultra Necrozma. Now, you’re locked and loaded for Shoegaze.
- Execute Shoegaze: 120 damage + discard top 5 cards from both decks.
- Target fragile setups or opponents low on deck count. You’ll burn through their options fast.
3. Late Game Sustain
If your first Necrozma gets knocked out, don’t worry. That’s where Lusamine comes in — she lets you pull back an Ultra Beast (Necrozma) and attach 2 random Energy from the discard pile. Boom. You're back in it.
Ultra Necrozma ex is more than a heavy hitter. With the right setup, you’ll be deleting decks before your opponent even gets their second attacker ready. If you're into fast, disruptive, and devastating plays, this deck’s your new best friend in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
