Recommended Counter Deck:
Being as though the Zoroark Drop Event has you do battle against four mostly Darkness type decks composed of “four” Colorless decks, a fighting type deck such as Brock’s Deck is a good counter. But for the final deck, we found the best option, especially in auto-battle, is the Celebi ex & Serperior Deck (Mythical Island). For help with building your very own Celebi ex & Serperior Deck (Mythical Island), we’ve got you covered. You just need the following cards Mythical Island, Genetic Apex, and PROMO-A cards:
Exeggcute | Mythical Island | A1a 001/068
Exeggcute | Mythical Island | A1a 001/068
Snivy | Mythical Island | A1a 004/068
