Fire-type Pokémon have always been fan favorites, whether it’s Charizard with his burning tail or Infernape and his detailed story in the anime. Pokémon TCG Pocket also has a wide variety of Fire-type Pokémon to acquire, but few of them are as cool as Mega Blaziken ex. And while it’s impressive on its own, Mega Blaziken ex becomes truly exceptional when paired with Entei ex.

Why is the Mega Blaziken ex and Entei ex deck good in Pokémon TCG Pocket?
Before anything, players must understand both of the leading Pokémon’s strengths and weaknesses. First is Mega Blaziken ex, who came with the Mega Rising expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket. This Pokémon has 210 health, which is more than most. While the downside of it being a Mega Pokémon means that it automatically loses you the battle if you let it get defeated, the minor retreat cost of one energy of any type helps you play around this issue. Of course, LootBar can also help you get some nice support cards to go with Blaziken.
As for this Pokémon’s attack, Mega Blaziken ex only has one attack, called Mega Burning. It deals 120 base damage, which is already high. While it forces Mega Blaziken ex to discard a Fire-type energy, it also burns the enemy Pokémon, making it so that they receive 20 base damage unless they roll a head, evolve their active Pokémon, or have them retreat. This status effect can make for some smart plays with the right supporting Pokémon.
Speaking of the right support Pokémon, this is where Entei ex comes into play. Entei ex has 140 health, and the Fire-type requires two energy cards of any type to retreat. Additionally, it has one attack called Blazing Beatdown, which deals 60 base damage. While the attack costs two Fire-type energy cards, players can add two additional cards to deal 60 more damage, turning the base damage into 120.
Entei ex also has a passive ability called Legendary Pulse. It makes it so that the player can draw a card if Entei ex is in the active spot at the end of the turn. Of course, this card is from the top of the deck, but it can make getting the right cards in your hand significantly easier, especially when paired with support cards like Professor’s Research.
What is the best Mega Blaziken ex and Entei ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket?
The Mega Blaziken ex and Entei ex deck is fairly straightforward. The concept is to send out Entei ex first so that the player can set up Mega Blaziken ex, before using the Mega Pokemon’s incredible damage and sustain to win the battle.
Below are the cards you’ll need for this deck:
Torchic x2
Blaziken x1
Mega Blaziken x2
Rare Candy x2
Entei ex x2
Professor’s Research x2
May x1
Cyrus x1
Leaf x2
Poke Ball x2
Lillie x1
Flame Patch x2
Entei has more than enough health to tank some decent hits, while also being able to deal decent damage back. Thanks to this, send out Entei ex first and start setting up your Mega Blaziken ex. The Rare Candy should help you evolve Torchic into Mega Blaziken ex quicker without requiring a Combusken, and cards like Professor’s Research and Poke Ball are great to help you get the cards you need to get your hand up to speed.
Remember to use Entei ex’s Legendary Pulse at the end of every turn so that you can get the cards you need faster. When Mega Blaziken is ready to attack, swap Entei out with Mega Blaziken and start dealing damage. The Flame Patch is an excellent item here, since it can help you get an extra Fire-type energy and mitigate Mega Blaziken ex’s attack’s downside, which causes it to discard an energy.
You must have Mega Blaziken retreat if things look dire, since the Pokémon’s status as a Mega Pokémon means that you lose if it goes down. A good way to work around this is by setting up a second Mega Blaziken ex on your bench so that you can use Leaf to retreat and send out the second one. If your enemy attempts to switch out their main Pokémon, then you can always use Cyrus to drag them back in and finish them off. Lillie is also pretty handy, since she can heal your Mega Blaziken ex by a good amount, keeping it in the fight.
Conclusion
This wraps up what we think is the absolute best Mega Blaziken ex and Entei ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket. While there is some room for flexibility here, the general idea is to use the deck as a baseline so you can start dominating with your own creation. Of course, if you find yourself in need of any additional cards, then you can always buy a Pokémon TCG Pocket top up or two.
