Celebi ex can be a challenge to try and counter, but there are plenty of other Pokemon in TCG Pocket that can take it down just as quickly as it comes up.
Celebi ex is a powerful card in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta, but it can be countered by a variety of other cards. Some of the best Celebi ex counters include Jynx, Alakazam, Exeggutor, Blaine, Ninetales, Rapidash, Volcarona, and Arcanine ex.
Jynx is a surprising counter to Celebi ex, but it can be very effective. Jynx's Psychic attack does more damage the more energy is attached to the opponent's Active Pokemon. This makes it a great counter to Celebi ex, which often attaches a lot of energy to itself in order to increase its chances of flipping heads with its attack.
Alakazam and Exeggutor are also good counters to Celebi ex, as they both have Psychic attacks that do a base damage of 30 plus 20 for each energy on the opponent's Active Pokemon. However, both Alakazam and Exeggutor require at least one stage of evolution to reach their full potential, while Jynx is a Basic Pokemon that can be played immediately.
Blaine is a Trainer card that can be used to power up fire decks. When Blaine is in play, Ninetales, Rapidash, or Magmar can do an additional 30 damage to the opponent's Pokemon. This makes them all great counters to Celebi ex, especially when combined with a grass deck that can give them an extra 50 damage total.
Ninetales and Rapidash are both first stage Pokemon that only take two energy to charge up. Ninetales does a base 90 damage, while Rapidash can deal up to 100 with a coin flip. When Celebi ex is in the active spot, both have the chance to take it down before it builds up too much energy.
Two other Pokemon can serve a Blaine deck well. Volcarona and Arcanine ex both slot in perfectly. Volcarona is a first stage card that can attack the bench rather than just the active spot. Helpfully, it can weaken Celebi ex or potentially get rid of any cards in the Snivy line before they evolve to Serperior. Additionally, Arcanine ex needs only three damage to obliterate Celebi with or without pulling Blaine. It can also withstand two hits from Celebi as opposed to the one-hit wonders Ninetales and Rapidash.
A trading feature is set to arrive in Pokemon Pocket TCG in January 2025, which will make it easier to build decks that fit the current meta. If you're looking to effectively counter Celebi ex, be sure to save up some of your extra cards so that you can trade for the missing pieces of your strategy once it goes live.
