Attacker

Strategy & play

How Pikachu 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 (Dynamic Bolt) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
Hits for 220 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥95 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 Pikachu ex

Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥95 damage one-shots it.
It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Pikachu ex is real?

Pikachu 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.
