Wugtrio EX: the ultimate counter against Giratina and Darkrai in Pokémon TCG Pocket

In the competitive world of Pokémon TCG Pocket, some decks have dominated the game, creating strategies that are difficult to counter. However, with the arrival of Wugtrio EX in Brilliant Festival, the dominance of the trio Giratina EX, Druddigon, and Darkrai EX has found a tough rival.

This Water-type Pokémon not only possesses great resilience, but its attack mechanics allow it to bypass the most used defensive strategies in the current metagame.

Why is Wugtrio EX the perfect counter?

The mechanics of this competitive deck revolve around Druddigon as a defensive wall, blocking direct attacks while its teammates accumulate energy on the bench. However, Wugtrio EX breaks this strategy with its peculiar attack ability.

Characteristics of Wugtrio EX:

• It evolves from Wiglett, which facilitates its access in the game.
• It has 140 health points, making it more resilient than other Pokémon of its type.
• Its attack has no base damage, but it randomly selects three opposing Pokémon and deals 50 damage points for each selection.
• It doesn't require a coin flip, making it a guaranteed 150 damage points per turn.

How Wugtrio EX surpasses the Giratina-Druddigon-Darkrai trio

The main problem when facing this deck is Druddigon's resilience, which absorbs hits and returns 20 damage points to the striker. However, Wugtrio EX avoids this obstacle, as its attack distributes the damage without directly attacking the active Pokémon.

This means that:

• Druddigon's barrier is ineffective, as Wugtrio EX attacks other Pokémon on the opposing team.
• The energy farming of Darkrai EX and Giratina EX is affected, as they can receive damage in advance without having entered combat.
• Matches become more dynamic, forcing the opponent to rethink their strategy.

Synergies and improvements to enhance Wugtrio EX

To make the most of Wugtrio EX, it is advisable to combine it with cards that enhance its performance:

• Manaphy or Misty: help accelerate the charging of Water-type energy.
• Giant Cape: adds 20 extra health points, increasing Wugtrio EX's resilience to 160 HP.
• Energy recovery cards: allow maintaining constant attacks without interruptions.

Wugtrio EX, a new challenge for the metagame

With its arrival at Brilliant Festival, Wugtrio EX has become an essential option for those seeking an effective counter against control strategies and energy accumulation.

Its combination of high health, disruptive attack, and guaranteed damage positions it as one of the most valuable cards in the current competitive environment.
