Best Mega Dragonite ex Decks

Start a Dragonite deck by choosing an attack, then match the card number. Mega Dragonite ex C1-100, ordinary Dragonite A1-185 and Dragonite ex A3b-053 are different Stage 2 cards. They share an evolution family but do different jobs after evolving. The Dragonite list above keeps those versions visible so that a familiar illustration does not lead you to copy the wrong attack or Energy plan.

Mega Dragonite ex has 240 HP and needs Water, Lightning and three more Energy for its attack. The Dragonite deck therefore has two separate preparation tasks: finish the evolution and supply five Energy. Evolving early does not solve an unpaid attack. Before selecting a Dragonite build, check the intermediate Dragonair, the Energy support and the Pokémon expected to remain Active while the line develops. A Rare Candy list can follow a different timetable from a Dragonair attack list.

The current Dragonite lists and historical Dragonite builds are separated on this page. Current ordering follows the number of tracked tournament lists, rather than a promise about your next match. An archived original can still teach a useful sequence, but its age and printed version matter. Choose the current complete Dragonite deck first when testing a present sample; open an archived list deliberately when you want to study its older attack plan.

Dragonair B2b-052 uses its one-Colorless attack to attach Water and Lightning Energy to itself. In a Dragonite deck, that attack can prepare the colored requirements before the Pokémon evolves. It is an attack, so it uses the turn's attack action and requires Dragonair to be Active. A Dragonite build cannot copy this sequence with a different Dragonair merely because both cards have 80 HP and evolve from Dratini.

Dragonair B4-117 instead works from the Bench: once during your turn it can move an Energy from your discard pile to your Active Dragon Pokémon. A Dragonite list needs an Energy in that discard pile and the correct Active target before this ability does anything. Keep that Dragonair on the Bench if you intend to use its ability. Evolving every available Stage 1 can remove the very Energy support your Dragonite deck was preparing to use.

Rare Candy skips the Stage 1 but cannot be used on your first turn or on a Basic put into play that turn. A Dragonite deck that uses it still needs the Stage 2 in hand. Wally supplies a Colorless Energy to a Stage 2, rather than supplying the Water and Lightning requirement by itself. Write the Dragonite build's next attack cost after each action. Five attached Energy only pay the Mega's attack when the required colors are present.

The Mega's Draconic Meteor selects one opposing Pokémon at random and deals 250 damage to it. A Mega Dragonite deck does not choose a damaged Benched target, and the attack does not split those 250 damage across several Pokémon. Check every opposing Pokémon that might receive the hit. A Dragonite list can have enough damage for one target while another possible target remains outside the knockout you were planning to take.

A1 Dragonite's Draco Meteor makes four random selections for 50 damage each. Those selections can repeat a target. That Dragonite deck creates a different spread pattern from the Mega, even when both attacks can hit the Bench. With only one opposing Pokémon, the ordinary Dragonite list concentrates its selections there; with several Pokémon, the outcome can spread out. Use each target's remaining HP to plan the following turn instead of assuming a particular distribution.

Drayden names Draco Meteor specifically. It does not add another selection to the Mega's differently named Draconic Meteor. Will controls a coin flip and cannot choose the random target of an attack that flips no coins. For a Dragonite build, these are card-text checks before spending the Supporter action. A Dragonite deck with a larger number printed on its finisher still needs a legal target-selection rule, and a successful random hit does not prove that a Supporter caused it.

An A1 ordinary attacker beside the Mega gives a Dragonite deck access to four smaller random selections. The B4 ordinary attacker instead has Hyper Beam: it deals 110 to the Active Pokémon and discards a random Energy from that opposing Active. These Dragonite builds use different finishing and disruption options. Read the version label beside the selector before deciding whether the ordinary card in your collection supplies the route you intended to test.

B2b Dragonite is another different card. Its Dragon Wave deals 150 and discards Water and Lightning from itself. A Dragonite list built around that attack must replace those colors before repeating it. A B4 Dragonite deck cannot simply substitute the B2b copy and retain the same Energy calendar. Alternate artwork within a verified rules family is a separate question from cards that share a species name but have different attacks and costs.

The current selector can show more than one Dragonite build with the same ordinary partner name. The card number distinguishes those versions, and the complete list resolves the rest of the configuration. For your first test, keep the selected Dragonite deck unchanged and record which attack was available on the critical turn. Change the ordinary version in a separate test so that a result caused by a different Energy cost is not mistaken for a change in random targeting.

The Charcadet route uses P-B-064, whose one-Colorless Protect attack depends on a heads. It is not the P-B-035 Punch version. In this Dragonite deck, read the actual printed Charcadet rather than treating the P-B label in an archetype slug as a complete card number. The Dragonite list's wall has a specific attack; another Charcadet with the same HP and retreat cost does not provide that protection.

Will makes the first coin flip of the next qualifying effect heads that turn. When planning a Dragonite deck turn with Protect, check whether another attack, ability or Trainer effect will consume that first flip beforehand. The support is for the next relevant flip, rather than every flip you might make. A Dragonite build cannot spend a coin-flipping Item first and still assume that Will is reserved for the wall's later attack.

Victini B3-025 can redo the coin flips for an attack of your Fire Pokémon once per turn. That applies to Charcadet's attack, not to Dragonite's random target selection. A reroll alone is not guaranteed protection. In a Dragonite list, also distinguish attack damage and effects from other ways to lose HP. Protect's text does not make the wall immune to everything, and buying another setup turn does not pay the Dragonite deck's remaining Energy automatically.

The linked Giratina example uses the A2b Psychic Giratina ex. Its ability attaches Psychic Energy to itself and ends your turn. Complete the other actions you need before using it. The Dragonite build cannot use that ability, continue evolving, and then attack on the same turn. Decide whether the extra attached Energy and the waiting turn help your actual board before pressing the ability.

C1 Giratina ex is a Dragon Pokémon with different attacks. It does not inherit the A2b card's ability. A Dragonite list that shows A2b in its complete card grid must not be assembled with C1 just because the display name is still Giratina ex. Keep the required Energy types beside both attackers when testing a Dragonite deck. Psychic Energy can pay a Colorless part of a cost, but it does not replace a required Water or Lightning symbol.

Rainbow Cave can discard the generated Energy and produce the next Energy once during each player's turn. That can put Energy into the discard pile for the B4 Dragonair ability, but it does not itself attach an Energy to a Pokémon. For the Dragonite build, confirm the Stadium, discard pile, Benched Dragonair and Active Dragon target separately. The Dragonite deck's sequence only works when each required board position and resource is actually present, including after an opposing Stadium change.

Professor's Research draws two cards; Copycat replaces your hand with a hand sized to the opponent's. A Dragonite deck can need evolution access, Energy support or survival on different turns. Count what the present hand already guarantees before shuffling it away. The Dragonite list's search and draw slots are not interchangeable with a Supporter that supplies Energy. Only one Supporter can be played each turn, so draw and Wally compete for that action.

A ready Stage 2 with an unpaid attack is a different problem from a hand missing the Stage 2. In the first Dragonite deck position, Wally can help with a Colorless requirement if the colors are already attached. In the second, it cannot search for the evolution. Compare two practice hands with the same Energy and different evolution pieces. Write the missing resource before choosing the Dragonite build's Supporter, rather than choosing a card solely because it is common in the sample.

Trainer adoption on this page combines the current Dragonite lists and counts lists containing each card. It is not the number of copies to insert in one Dragonite deck. Open the selected complete list to check quantities, including healing and switching cards. A healing plan still has to survive the next credible hit: the Mega gives three points when Knocked Out, and its 240 HP does not protect it from an attack that reaches the remaining HP in one hit.

The complete Dragonite list is a statistical representative allocated from the observed average counts. A linked public tournament submission is a real twenty-card example of the corresponding build, not a claim that every player submitted that exact configuration. Copy the current Dragonite deck from its full card grid and retain the printed version labels when sharing it. Card adoption and the build's tournament record belong to the stated sample and window, not solely to the linked individual example.

Historical Dragonite ex A3b-053 attacks for 180 and cannot attack during your next turn. That older Dragonite build needs a different follow-up from the Mega's 250-damage random attack or A1's spread. Open the archived complete list for its exact evolution line and partners. The archive date is the Registry's last observation, not a claim about the final match ever played with that Dragonite deck or a recommendation based on current results.

Use the archive badge and date before interpreting any older Dragonite list. Archived samples do not enter the current ranking, matchups or Trainer adoption totals. If only one current Dragonite build remains after a snapshot change, study that build rather than inventing a comparison; if none remain, enter the historical complete lists from the archive. Recheck the current card quantities after a refresh, and carry the evidence window with a copied Dragonite deck instead of treating one tournament sample as a permanent verdict.
