Wigglytuff ex Deck Guide

Introduction

Welcome to my Wigglytuff ex Deck Guide! See the picture above? The reason why I want to show you guys a1-153-marowakex and a1-195-wigglytuffex is to draw a similarity between these two cards.

With a1-153-marowakex, you need to win two coin flips to deal 160 damage, but with just one winning coin flip using a1-195-wigglytuffex, you can deal the same 160 damage. Because a1-195-wigglytuffex deals a guaranteed 80 damage and inflicts sleep with only one additional energy compared to a1-153-marowakex. Now, let's get into the deck lists and guide for a1-195-wigglytuffex!

Deck List

In the following deck list I will be including the following card:

The upcoming promo-22-jigglypuff is a very strong card compared to its counterpart from the Genetic Apex version of a1-193-jigglypuff. promo-22-jigglypuff can be used to stall the game from the get-go if you fail to draw other any other basic Pokémon in your opening hand.

Core Cards

a1-195-wigglytuffex decks are very very flexible where you can pair it to any type of pokemon since it doesn't care what type of energy is attached to it. Thus, the core cards are just as followed:

• Promo promo-22-jigglypuff ×2
• a1-194-wigglytuff ×1
• a1-195-wigglytuffex ×2

The promo version of promo-22-jigglypuff scales naturally in to a1-194-wigglytuff or a1-195-wigglytuffex which makes it the best Jigglypuff version to use in your Wigglytuff decks.

Why include 1 version of a non-ex Wigglytuff?

Including at least 1 copy of a non-ex a1-194-wigglytuff alongside a1-195-wigglytuffex offers flexibility during your matches. The non-ex version of a1-194-wigglytuff is easier to set up compared to a1-195-wigglytuffex, requiring only two energy to start dealing damage instead of three energy required by a1-195-wigglytuffex. This lower energy cost makes it a quick attacker, perfect for times when you need to strike sooner or conserve resources for other key plays.

Additionally, the non-ex a1-194-wigglytuff doesn’t give up two match points when knocked out, unlike its a1-195-wigglytuffex counterpart. This makes it an excellent choice for absorbing hits or for when you want to keep the match points exchange low, especially if the opponent is targeting your high-value Pokémon. Keep both versions in your decks to give you more options to adapt to various situations.

Wigglytuff ex Deck Guide

Using the Greninja Package

a1-89-greninja synergizes with a1-195-wigglytuffex by providing consistent chip damage (20 damage per turn) to opposing Pokémon, including high-HP threats and key support Pokémon. This weakens opponents' resources and sets up easier knockouts for a1-195-wigglytuffex.

a1-89-greninja's ability, Water Shuriken damage also complements a1-195-wigglytuffex's attacks, maximizing damage output and ensuring pressure is maintained more so when the opposing Pokémon is asleep. a1-89-greninja's flexibility as a bench-sitter adds versatility to the deck without hindering Wigglytuff ex's active role.

Using the Weezing Koga Bounce Package

The a1-177-weezing and a1-222-koga bounce combo works really well with a1-195-wigglytuffex stall strategy. Weezing's ability Gas Leak and attack skill Tackle inflict 50 damage per turn cycle for just one energy.

a1-222-koga's bounce effect resets a1-177-weezing's HP extends its longevity on the field, this prolongs a1-177-weezing’s time on the battlefield, enabling it to absorb more hits and buy time while you build up energy resources for a1-195-wigglytuffex. When a1-195-wigglytuffex is ready to come into the Active Spot, you'll be able to have the opposing Pokémon to be inflicted with both Poison and Sleep at the same time - Brutal.

Wigglytuff ex is NOT unplayable

After some playtesting with this card, a1-195-wigglytuffex is actually really good. If the opponent losses the first coinflip after getting whacked for 80 damage, that's a potential 160 damage in total. If they lose again, that's a total of 240 damage in three turns. The promo version of promo-22-jigglypuff covers these decks' early game strategy because the card also inflicts a guaranteed sleep effect like its EX version. Coming back to the a1-153-marowakex card from my introduction, this card can sometimes deal 0 damage if you fail both coin flips but you're guaranteed to deal 80 damage with a1-195-wigglytuffex.

Deck Weaknesses

• a1-195-wigglytuffex’s strength relies heavily on its ability to put opponents to sleep via coin flips. Since sleep only has a 50% chance of keeping an opponent skip their attack phase, RNG a significant role. If they consistently win the 50-50, you're going to have a bad day with these decks.
• a1-195-wigglytuffex needs three energy to attack, which is relatively high for a deck that revolves around a single high-damage Pokémon. But, considering a1-195-wigglytuffex is a stage 1 Pokémon coupled with the fact you can use the Weezing-Koga combo package, this problem can be mitigated.
• Ironically, going against Marowak ex decks is an uphill battle.

Closing

I don't have anything else to add to my Wigglytuff ex Deck Guide - Try it for yourself with both the Greninja package or the Weezing-Koga package, you'll be surprised with the outcome!
