Strategy & play

How Claydol ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Shadow Crush) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Psychic type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥60 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.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Baltoy; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Claydol ex

  • Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Claydol ex is real?
