Blaziken ex deck: the core, the flex slots, and what beats it

Here's the heart of the deck: the cards every single list runs. The remaining slots change from player to player, and you'll find them all counted further down. Tap any card to take a closer look.

We took 20 lists of this deck, handed in at 19 different tournaments, and counted every card in every one. For 16 of them we know how the day ended, and none won their tournament. 2 cards turn up in all of them, 6 slots out of 60. The other 54 are decided player by player, with 128 different cards turning up in them.

Published Data updated
THE SHORT VERSION
  • 2 cards show up in all 20 lists, no exceptions: 6 of your 60 slots. Of those, 3 are Trainers, 3 are Pokémon and 0 are Energy. Start there. That leaves 54 slots for you to pick yourself.
  • Your big card is Blaziken ex, 320 HP. Smolder-sault hits for 200. It needs 2 Energy, 1 Fire and 1 Colorless attached.
  • The sharpest disagreement is over Fezandipiti ex: 10 of the 20 lists run it. The table below has all 128 cards fighting over the 54 free slots.
  • Your attackers are Weak to Water, and 24 of the 97 decks we track attack in that type: Festival Lead, Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex / Froslass and Raging Bolt ex, among others. They are listed at the bottom, with the card that does the damage.

What Blaziken ex looks like when you open the box

Across the 20 lists we counted, this deck runs 16 to 24 Pokémon, 28 to 37 Trainers and 7 to 13 Energy. Its attacks are paid for in Fire.

On results pages and on stream you will see it written « blaziken-ex-jtg ». Every card named in that label turns up in the tables below, which is what makes it a fair name for the deck.

The bit they tack on the end, « JTG », is a set code: Journey Together. They spell it out because several cards share that name, and this deck plays that particular printing.

Look at the Energy: 7 to 13 out of 60, exactly the median of the 97 decks we track. It draws neither too much nor too little, so this is not where its games are won or lost.

It takes a while to set up. Blaziken ex is a Stage 2 Pokémon: you put down the baby, you evolve it, and then you evolve it again. Three cards stacked before anything attacks. That is what the hardest-hitting decks cost you, and it is also where they crack — a fast opponent can bury you before the line is standing.

Look at the Trainers: 28 to 37 cards out of 60, against a median of 31 across the 97 decks we track. Inside that, 8 to 16 Supporters, and the rule there is strict — one a turn, even if you are holding three. The 10 to 20 Items you can play all of in the same turn. It also brings up to 4 Stadiums, and 57 of the 97 decks we track bring that many or more. Only one Stadium sits on the table at a time: the one you play sends the one already there to the discard pile.

What Tools and Stadiums do — the two Trainer families we skipped here — and why the Energy count says so much: how to read a deck list.

What the card in this deck's name actually does

Blaziken ex gives this deck its name. Here is what is written on it.

Blaziken ex is in all 20 lists, 3 copies of it. Its Ability is called Seething Spirit, and here is what is printed on it, word for word: « Once during your turn, you may attach a Basic Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Pokémon. »

How Blaziken ex actually wins

Blaziken ex attacks with Smolder-sault for 200. It needs 2 Energy, 1 Fire and 1 Colorless attached, and it has 320 HP. And the number is not everything the card says. There is one more line printed under the attack, and it is the one everybody skips: "During your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack."

The cost of Smolder-sault decides your first few turns. You only get to attach one Energy a turn, and that attack asks for 2. On your own attachments alone, your first real swing lands on turn 2. Except it charges itself. Blaziken ex, which the list runs 3 of, has an Ability called Seething Spirit: it digs Energy out of your discard pile and puts it back on one of your Pokémon. An Ability costs you nothing: not your attack, not your card for the turn. That is where this deck buys its turns, and it is the first thing to look for in your opening hand.

Here is the detail that quietly loses games. To pull Blaziken ex back to the Bench you have to discard 2 Energy attached to it. Retreating does not cost you your turn, you can step back and still swing right after. What it costs you is the 2 Energy you spent 2 turns attaching, and you start that climb again from nothing. Pack a card that moves it for free, or send it up knowing it stays up.

Blaziken ex carries the "ex" suffix, and your opponent takes 2 Prize cards instead of one when Blaziken ex falls. They need 6 to win: 3 well-placed knockouts on that card beat you, where it would take 6 anywhere else on your Bench.

The core: the 2 cards every list runs

These 2 cards appear in all 20 lists, without a single exception. That is 6 of the 60 slots. The other 54 are decided player by player.

Look at how those 6 slots break down: 3 Trainers, 3 Pokémon, 0 Energy. Trainers outweigh everything else put together, which is the mark of a deck that goes and fetches its cards rather than waiting to draw them.

2 of those 2 cards do not sit at the same count from list to list: Blaziken ex (2 to 4) and Rare Candy (1 to 4). Add those spreads up and you get 5 copies the 20 lists do not agree on, inside the core itself.

What "3 to 4" means in the copies column, what the "TWM 130" code under each name is for, and why we count dozens of lists instead of one: how to read a deck list.

The 128 cards that change from list to list

128 cards fight over the 54 slots that are left: 9 above three lists in four, 104 below one in four, and the percentage on each row says how many players took it.

The most agreed on first: Lillie's Determination at 95 %, Night Stretcher at 95 % and Torchic at 90 %, plus 6 more above 75 %. Add those to the core and you have the common build.

The dividing line runs through Fezandipiti ex, at 50 %: 10 of 20 players took it, 10 put something else there. The ones who run it bring 1 copy. Right at the bottom of the table, Dudunsparce (5 lists out of 20) and Pecharunt (5 lists out of 20).

Why a card at 45 % is not a bad card, and what order to buy all this in: how to read a deck list.

What Blaziken ex costs to build, and how long it will last

You need 130 different cards to cover every version of this deck, 2 of which nobody argues about. We do not have card prices, so we are not going to put a number on it.

19 of these 20 lists bring an ACE SPEC, and that is where they part ways: 4 took Secret Box, 4 took Unfair Stamp and 2 took Enriching Energy. The flex table shows you all 10. You are allowed ONE ACE SPEC card in your whole deck, so a single copy covers it whatever it costs. New to this deck? Take Secret Box and watch what the others do with theirs before you switch.

Then there is time. 1 of the 2 core cards carries the letter H, the one that goes at the next rotation: Blaziken ex. The core table marks it. In copies, that is 3 of the 6 slots the core fills. Which day it lands, we do not know yet.

What Blaziken ex struggles against

The attackers in this deck are Weak to Water, so they take DOUBLE damage from that type. 24 of the 97 decks we track attack in exactly that type.

Concretely, here is what is waiting for you: Festival Lead (Seaking), Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex / Froslass and Raging Bolt ex (Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex), plus 21 more decks. The table below takes them one at a time, and those are the lists you practise against first before an event.

This table counts one thing, Weakness, and that comes to 24 decks out of the 97 we track. The other 73 do not attack into yours, and this table says nothing about them. You will still run into them.

Going the other way, your attackers are Fire, and 29 of the decks we track have an attacker Weak to one of those: Mega Excadrill ex, Festival Lead and Slowking, among others. That is you doubling, for once. Second half of the table.

They double the damage they put on you

Questions people ask

What is the Blaziken ex deck list?
There isn't one. Across 20 tournament lists harvested between 16 August 2026 and 1 September 2026, 2 cards turn up in every single one, 6 slots out of 60. The remaining 54 change from player to player, with 128 different cards competing for them. Both tables are above.
How many lists is this counted on, and where do they come from?
20 lists, played across 19 different tournaments, harvested between 16 August 2026 and 1 September 2026 from play.limitlesstcg.com. All 20 were read card by card, and every card recognised.
Where do I start if I want to build Blaziken ex?
With the whole core: 2 cards, 6 slots. Inside it, buy the 3 Trainer slots and the 0 Energy first: they carry over into your next deck. Leave the 3 Pokémon slots for last. Only then work down the flex table and add the cards the most lists agree on, starting with Lillie's Determination at 95 % and Night Stretcher at 95 %.
What beats Blaziken ex?
Its attackers are Weak to Water, so they take double damage from an attacker of that type. 24 of the 97 decks we track play an attacker of that type: Festival Lead, Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex / Froslass, Raging Bolt ex and Latias ex / Mega Kangaskhan ex, among others.
Will Blaziken ex survive the next rotation?
Not intact: 1 core cards out of 2 carry the letter H, starting with Blaziken ex.
Are a lot of people playing Blaziken ex?
We have read 20 lists of it, which puts it 82nd of the 97 decks we track by lists read. The platform those tournaments run on counts 21 entries for it, 0.05 % of the field, across all its players. That figure is theirs.

Where all of this comes from

20 lists from play.limitlesstcg.com, played across 19 events, harvested between 16 August 2026 and 1 September 2026. The 130 cards named here were read against poko's own catalogue, built on the public TCGdex API. No prices on this page, for want of a fresh enough reading. The TCGplayer link in the cost section is a shop link, labelled as one right where it stands.
