The Best Indeedee EX Deck Builds
Indeedee EX decks usually consist of several additional attack or defensive Pokémon that may use Indeedee’s passive healing ability. The ones that are most popularly used to pair with Indeedee EX are Mega Altaria EX, Giratina EX, Espeon EX, and Gengar EX If you don’t have the cards, no need to worry because Lootbar can help you with that. Below are the more details about the best Indeedee EX deck builds.
Mega Altaria EX and Indeedee EX Deck
It is certainly one of the best Indeedee EX decks to build, because you’ll use it in Mega Altaria EX, the current meta of the game. There’s a reason why Mega Altaria EX is a favorite. This Pokémon has a whopping 190 health, making it one of the most durable Pokémons. Additionally, it has the Mega Harmony ability that can deal up to 130 damage. It can easily wipe out basic Pokémons or even some EX Pokémons.
To support this deck, we’ll need some support items that can hasten the process of finding the basic Pokémon and their evolutions. That’s why we need Poke Ball, Professor's Research, and May. Put Mega Altaria EX in the active spot, and Indeedee EX at the bench. With this formation, you can continuously heal Mega Altaria EX in each turn, making it more durable than ever.
It’s a good idea to put two Indeedee EX so that you can have 40 heal every turn. But, having just one is enough, as long as the enemy doesn’t use Pokémons that can deal status or chip passive damage.
As a second attacker, you can use Giratina EX This is also another great Pokémon that can draw another energy per turn. Its attack can deal 130 damage, although it will also suffer from 20 damage from it.
Indeedee EX and Giratina EX
You can replace Mega Altaria EX with Giratina EX anytime. Giratina EX already has the skill that can deal 130 damage, a pretty strong offensive ability. However, each time the skill is used, it will take 20 damage. But this won’t be a problem at all, because Indeedee EX’s healing ability can easily cover it. With Indeedee EX around, Giratina EX can easily spam its attack without worrying about the side effects.
For an alternative attacker, Arceus EX is a good option. It can’t be affected by abnormal status effects and can deal up to 130 damage if the bench is filled. For this build, you’ll need Professor's Research, Pokémon Center Lady, Poke Ball, Red, Copycat, and Mars.
Espeon EX and Indeedee EX Deck
Another great Pokémon to combine with Indeedee EX is Espeon EX This Pokémon is also a good one for offense, especially when facing an EX Pokémon that requires a lot of energy. It deals 20 damage for each energy attached. So when attacking Charizard EX, it can easily deal around 100 damage. One problem with Espeon EX is its low health pool. The 100 health can easily be beaten with strong EX Pokémons.
Therefore, Indeedee EX can be a great helper here by providing 20 heal for every turn. Placing two and you’ll get 40 heal. With the Espeon EX and Indeedee EX combo, you can get both power and durability for competitive battles. If you don’t have an Espeon EX at your disposal, go to Lootbar to make your top-up.
Indeedee EX and Gengar EX Deck
Before the Mega Rising Pack came, many people used the Gengar EX deck. Although it still requires a basic and an evolution card, Gengar EX can be a powerful offensive Pokémon that can deal 100 damage. Its 170 HP is also durable enough for facing other EX Pokémons. Gengar EX has this unique ability called Shadowy Spellbind that prevents the enemy from using any supporting cards. Having Gengar EX can easily render annoying support cards, like Sabrina, unusable.
What’s The Best Strategy for Indeedee EX Deck Build?
Indeedee EX is a support Pokémon, so the best way to use it is at the bench to heal your strongest Pokémon. Having it at the bench is already enough to make your active Pokémon more durable by providing enough healing to cover the damage. One or even two Indeedee EX can definitely make your deck a lot more durable against so many decks.
Additionally, Indeedee EX can provide a good amount of damage, but only in a special case. Its offensive ability, Psychic, can deal 30 damage plus an additional 30 for each energy attached to a Pokémon. With that in mind, Indeedee EX is perfect to counter Pokémons that require a lot of energy, like Gratina EX or Charizard EX A Pokémon with at least four energy attached can easily be beaten with 150 damage from Indeedee EX
Countering Indeedee EX Deck
Indeedee EX has 130 health, which is frail enough for EX Pokémons with a high damage potential to defeat it. Since it’s a Psychic Pokémon, you can use the counter-element for it. In this case, it’s metal. Some of the best metal Pokémons to defeat Indeedee EX are Mega Blaziken EX and Dragalge EX
Another thing to render Indeedee EX’s healing ability useless is to utilize poison or chip damage. Pokémons like Greninja and Darkrai EX can keep damaging Indeedee EX passively. Since Indeedee EX works only when countering Pokémons with a high amount of energy, use one that’s energy-efficient, like Donphan EX and Rampardos.
Conclusion
Indeedee EX is indeed a powerful Pokémon. Having an Indeedee EX deck build with offensive Pokémons can easily put you at the top of the competition. If you plan to use it, be sure to put your best Pokémons as active and put an Indeedee EX (or two) at the bench. However, this Pokémon still has some weaknesses, such as having a low HP pool, and is focused on high-energy Pokémon. To get Indeede EX, you can make some pulls from Mega Rising Packs using currency obtained through Pokémon TCG Pocket top up.
