Zacian V has 220 HP and can receive up to 10 Energy attachments from the discard pile-enough to Knock Out any Pokémon in the Standard format-and the single-Prize Gardevoir sets up some efficient Prize trades. They have attacks that do the same amount of damage (60 damage plus 30 more for each Psychic Energy attached to them), and both fill important roles in the deck. The two most obvious choices are Zacian V and Gardevoir. So, which Pokémon would benefit the most from having access to essentially unlimited Psychic Energy? Gardevoir ex’s own attack is useful enough to Knock Out smaller Pokémon, but it needs some help when it comes to facing other high-HP Pokémon. I’d say that’s a small price to pay for this incredible Ability. There’ve been plenty of Pokémon that allow you to attach an Energy card from the discard pile, but Gardevoir ex’s Psychic Embrace takes it to the next level and can bring back any number of Basic Psychic Energy cards! It does come with the downside of placing 2 damage counters on each Pokémon you attach Energy to, which means the number of Energy that can be attached to a Psychic-type Pokémon is limited by its remaining HP. When reading the card for the first time, most people probably needed a double take-its Ability was unlike anything we’ve seen before. Pokémon ex are the stars of the Scarlet & Violet expansion, and when looking at the results from the recent Europe International Championships, Gardevoir ex clearly stands out.
