The Mythical Island booster pack introduced Aerodactyl ex to Pokémon TCG Pocket on December 17, 2024, creating one of the game's most powerful decks. Here's a comprehensive guide to building and playing the optimal Aerodactyl ex deck.

Core Deck List:

• Aerodactyl ex
• Mew ex
• Mankey
• Primeape
• Old Amber
• Professor's Research
• Sabrina
• X Speed
• Poké Ball
• Red Card
• Potion

Key Strategy:

• Aerodactyl ex's Primeval Law ability prevents opponents from evolving their Active Pokémon
• Mew ex provides secondary damage through Genome Hacking
• Efficient Energy Token management with flexible attack costs
• Primeape serves as a powerful single-prize attacker

Alternative Options:

• Marshadow (for Revenge damage)
• Marowak ex (RNG-based damage)
• Pidgeot line (setup support)
• Standard Aerodactyl (tech option)

Strengths:

• Strong field control
• Energy-efficient attacks
• Flexible damage options
• Disrupts evolution-based strategies

Weaknesses:

• Vulnerable to Electric-type Pokémon
• Requires setup time
• Can struggle against fast, non-evolution decks
• Setup-dependent strategy

The deck excels at controlling the opponent's strategy while delivering consistent damage output. While it requires some setup, its combination of Aerodactyl ex's control abilities and Mew ex's versatile attacks makes it a formidable choice in the current meta.
