Regigigas Ex In Pokémon TCG Pocket: Best Deck Builds

Regigigas ex is one of the most intimidating Colorless Pokémon in Pokémon TCG Pocket. With 180 HP and an attack that hits for 150 damage, it can knock out most non-ex attackers in a single hit while surviving attacks that would flatten smaller ex cards. The catch is that its signature Ability, Regi Gate, pushes you toward a deck built around the Legendary Titans — and that build is far stronger than it looks on paper. Here is how to build and play Regigigas ex effectively in the current meta.

Why Regigigas ex Is Worth Building Around

Most big-basic ex cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket are one-note beatsticks, but Regigigas ex stands out for two reasons. First, its Ability, Regi Gate, lets you search your deck for up to three Pokémon with “Regi” in their name and add them to your hand once per turn. That turns Regirock, Regice, and Registeel into consistent resources instead of random draws. Second, its Giga Blow attack deals 150 damage for three Colorless Energy — no type-specific Energy requirements, which makes it easy to slot into almost any shell. In a format where 150 damage is the magic number for taking down many ex Pokémon, that is a serious threat ceiling.

Regigigas ex Card Breakdown

Stat	Value
HP	180
Type	Colorless
Ability	Regi Gate — search your deck for up to 3 Pokémon with “Regi” in their name and put them into your hand
Attack	Giga Blow — 150 damage for 3 Colorless Energy
Weakness	Fighting
Retreat Cost	3

The Fighting weakness is the main thing to watch. Fighting decks built around Lucario ex or Aerodactyl ex can pressure Regigigas ex hard, so you need a plan for that match-up instead of just stacking Energy onto Regigigas and hoping for the best.

Colorless Energy in the Energy Zone

The game plan is simple: use Regi Gate to fill your bench with the Legendary Titans while you build Energy on Regigigas ex. The Regis give you board presence and emergency attack options, and because Regigigas ex only needs Colorless Energy, you never fight your own Energy Zone. Pairing it with other Normal-type support is covered in our best Colorless decks guide.

How to Pilot the Deck

Early game: open with Regirock, Regice, or Registeel and attach Energy while you dig for Regigigas ex with Poké Ball.
Mid game: activate Regi Gate every turn you can, even if you do not need the Regis immediately — thinning your deck improves every later draw.
Know your numbers: 150 damage knocks out most 140–150 HP ex Pokémon, but you need Giovanni to push past 160 HP targets, or you can soften them with Regice’s attack first.
Retreat smartly: with a 3-Energy retreat cost, use X Speed or keep a Regi ready to absorb hits while you re-ramp Regigigas ex.
Play around Fighting: bait Fighting Energy with Registeel and preserve Potions for the turns Regigigas ex takes a big hit.

Budget Alternative and Tech Options

Do not have a second Regigigas ex? You can run a single copy backed by Regirock, Regice, and Registeel plus flexible Colorless attackers such as Pidgeot ex or Kangaskhan — the Regis carry the early game while you assemble the finisher. For tech cards, Sabrina drags out vulnerable bench targets, Red Card disrupts combo-heavy opponents, and Potion keeps Regigigas ex above one-hit-KO range against 160-damage attacks.

Is Regigigas ex Worth Playing in the Current Meta?

Regigigas ex is a consistent tier-2 option: it is easy to build, forgiving to pilot, and can steal games from top decks when Giga Blow connects. It struggles against Fighting-heavy match-ups and fast aggro decks that KO your Regis before Regigigas ex is ready to take over. If the meta is full of Fighting decks, it is a risky pick — but in a balanced format it is one of the best Colorless ex cards you can play.
