Dragonite ex became the most feared card in the A3b Eevee Grove miniset, released on June 26 in Pokémon TCG Pocket. With a single move capable of knocking out almost any opponent in one hit, this version of the popular Dragon-type Pokémon is revolutionizing gameplay strategies.
Its Giga Impact ability deals 180 damage, a figure that surpasses or matches the HP of most cards in the game. Although it has a significant limitation—it can't attack on the following turn—with minimal planning, it can become an unstoppable annihilation machine.
How to get Dragonite ex and activate its strategy
Dragonite ex can only be used as an evolution of Dragonair, which in turn evolves from Dratini. All these cards are available in packs from the Eevee Grove set, or can be purchased individually with pack-opening points.
The cost varies according to its rarity:
500 points (standard rarity)
1,250 points (super rare or special art rare)

To get the most out of it, players should include cards like Rare Candy or Pokémon Communication in their decks, which speed up evolutions and ensure that Dragonite ex reaches the field as soon as possible.
Winning strategies with Dragonite ex
The most effective strategy consists of rotating between two copies of Dragonite ex, so that while one rests after using Giga Impact, the other can continue attacking without pause. This tactic allows players to maintain pressure without sacrificing offensive momentum.
Another valid option is to reserve its use as a finishing blow, since its massive damage can secure an immediate victory. In scenarios where the opponent's HP is low, Dragonite ex enters as a lethal closer.
