As expected, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion has introduced a new Drop Event inPokemon Pocket, this time featuring the intriguing Cresselia ex. Many are already comparing this card to another powerful addition from the expansion, Darkrai ex, due to their similar effects. Cresselia ex heals 20 HP whenever you attach a Psychic-type Energy to it, mirroring Darkrai ex’s ability to deal 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon whenever it receives a Darkness-type Energy.

Among them, only Cresselia ex and Misdreavus will have new abilities, while the rest are simply new art variants of previously released cards fromthe Space-Time Smackdown expansion.

The Best Deck for the Cresselia ex Drop Event
ADarkness-type deck featuring Scolipede and Weezingis ideal for this event. Since Cresselia ex and all other Solo mode decks in the event are Psychic-type, a Darkness lineup can easily dominate them.

you’re able to also go with an Arbok & Weezing deck if you are missing any Scolipede lineup cards.
