Strategy & play
How Dragonite-EX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Hyper Beam) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 130 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Colorless type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥90 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
How to beat Dragonite-EX
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥90 damage one-shots it.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Dragonite-EX is real?
Dragonite-EX is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
