Recommended Counter Deck:

Being as though the Gible Drop Event has you do battle against four Fighting type decks, any decent Grass deck will rise to the occasion. One such deck we found to work really well, is the all-new Leafeon ex & Yanmega ex Deck (Triumphant Light), thanks to how quick it is to pull of any decent strategy and even if you only want to auto battle, the Leafeon ex & Yanmega ex Deck (Triumphant Light) does hold its own.

For help with building your own Leafeon ex & Yanmega ex Deck (Triumphant Light), we’ve got you covered. You just need the following cards Triumphant Light, Space-Time Smackdown and PROMO-A cards:

  1. Yanma | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) | A2 006/155
  2. Yanma | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) | A2 006/155
  3. Yanmega ex | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) | A2 007/155
  4. Yanmega ex | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) | A2 007/155
  5. Leafeon ex | Triumphant Light | A2a 010/075
  6. Leafeon ex | Triumphant Light | A2a 010/075
  7. Eevee | Triumphant Light | A2a 062/075
  8. Eevee | Triumphant Light | A2a 062/075
  9. X Speed | PROMO-A | PROMO-A 002/P-A
  10. X Speed | PROMO-A | PROMO-A 002/P-A
  11. Poké Ball | PROMO-A | PROMO-A 005/P-A
  12. Poké Ball | PROMO-A | PROMO-A 005/P-A
  13. Giant Cape | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) | A2 147/155
  14. Giant Cape | Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga) | A2 147/155
  15. Professor’s Research | PROMO-A | PROMO-A 007/P-A
  16. Professor’s Research | PROMO-A | PROMO-A 007/P-A
  17. Erica | Genetic Apex (Charizard) | A1 219/226
  18. Erica | Genetic Apex (Charizard) | A1 219/226
  19. Sabrina | Genetic Apex (Charizard) | A1 225/226
  20. Cyrus | Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia) | A2 150/155

In case you feel the Leafeon ex & Yanmega ex Deck (Triumphant Light) is not up to task, you can always swap it out for a Grass themed deck that utilises Celebi and Serperior.
