Best Rayquaza ex deck list – Pokémon TCG Pocket

Rayquaza ex is a tricky Pokémon that has the potential to be a powerhouse, but seems to struggle to fit into many decks we make for Pokémon TCG Pocket. Despite its energy-less typing and move use, most decks we have tried to fit it into haven't seen much success. Its challenging, but not impossible, but I should preface that in my testing this morning, it was definitely a very difficult deck to play with no matter what you put it into—but I feel like I have managed to find something that works, using an old reliable core and throwing Ray in their for good measure. The rise of Oricorio (Electric-type) from Celestial Guardians is proving to be a problem, though, as its ability negates any damage being dealt to it by an ex Pokémon, so I've had to be a little creative when coming up with this deck.
