Strategy & play

How Keldeo-EX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
  • Its main attack (Secret Sword) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
  • Water type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥85 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.

How to beat Keldeo-EX

  • Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥85 damage one-shots it.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Keldeo-EX is real?

Keldeo-EX is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
