Strategy & play
How Skeledirge ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Luster Burn) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Hits for 160 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Fire Energy to attack — note its own type is Metal, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥165 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.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Skeledirge ex

- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
