Strategy & play
How Koraidon ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥115 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.
- Seen in 1% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 1 copy.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Koraidon ex
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥115 damage one-shots it.

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
