When a new generation of cards arrive, these cards take some time to adapt to the current meta of thePokemon TCG. It’s a hard process for most of them, as the players look for cards to make it better. This wasn’t the case with Miraidon ex, who find on Regieleki VMAX a great companion to hit the ground running.

Miraidon and Regieleki offer you a very aggressive deck that doesn’t require much effort or setup to start attacking but, in exchange, it heavily depends on Electric Generator to start hitting and getting resources. Other than that, it’s a pretty decent deck that can work well to play against Lost Box.

Miraidon Ex Deck Key Cards
Miraidon Ex
You can considerMiraidon exas the main card of the deck but, in reality, all the Pokemon in this deck will have chances to attack depending on the situation. Nonetheless, Miraidon is pretty important as it’ll be responsible for setting the deck up to be ready to attack in turn two.
Miraidon ex has an ability namedTandem Unit, which willlet you look for up to two Electric Pokemon cards on your deckand put them on the bench. This card is also a great attacker, but it needs some help to be excellent and be able to take any VMAX or VSTAR down with a single hit. Miraidon has an attack namedPhoton Blaster, whichdeals 220 damage,but you can’t use it again on your next turn.220 damage is pretty good, but it gets better thanks to Regieleki VMAX.
Regieleki V And Regieleki VMAX
Regieleki Vcan defend itself properly thanks to its two attacks. The first one isSwitching Bolt, which deals 30 damage butlets you switch Regielekifor any other Pokemon, and the second one isLightning Wall, which deals 100 damage and lets Regielekireceive 100 less damagefrom any attack for your opponent during their next turn.Pretty good to defend itself against attackers like Lost Box Cramorant.
On the other side, you’ll haveRegieleki VMAX, which will be responsible for supplying both Miraidon ex and Raikou V with extra damage. It has an ability namedTransistor, whichallows your Electric Pokemon to deal 30 more damage.That’s the most important part of Regieleki VMAX.
Aside from that, it has a move named Max Thunder and Lightning that acts literally the same as Miraidon ex’s attack;it deals 220 damage, but you can attack with this Regieleki on your next turn.
Raikou V
Raikou Vwill be your secondary attacker. It’s pretty useful to play against Eternatus/Galarian Weezing because it has an attack namedLightning Rondo.With it,Raikou will deal 20 damage, plus 20 per each benched Pokemon in play, counting both yours and your opponent’s.
Just imagine an Eternatus with an extended and full bench receiving 260 damage, plus the 90 damage you’re able to pull out from having three Regieleki VMAX cards on your bench. In the end, Raikou can deal 350 damage, more than enough to take Eternatus VMAX down with a single hit.
Radiant Greninja
It’s pretty common to see aRadiant Greninjain every deck, and it’s becauseit can work as an engineto get more cards in case you are stuck. This is because Radiant Greninja has an ability namedConcealed Cards, whichlets you draw two cards from your deckbut only if youdiscard an Energy card.
This deck will have13 Energy cards, and you won’t be using all of them, so don’t worry about using an Energy card to get unstuck from a situation.
Klefki
The Lost Box engine is very rooted in the meta, so, every card that can mess up with the ability of your opponent’s Pokemon is highly appreciated. This is the case ofKlefki, a card introduced in Scarlet and Violet that has an ability namedMischievous Lock, whichnullifies the ability of your opponent’s Pokemon.
Klefki by itself candeactivate the whole Lost Box engine. Who would say that the key to counter the Lost Box is a keychain?
Electric Generator
As the deck runs with Electric Energy cards, you’ll need theElectric Generatorin your deck. With this card, you canlook at the top five cardsof your deck anddraw up to two Electric Energy cardsyou find. After that, you canattach them to any of your Electric Pokemonon your bench as you wish.
You can use this card as many times as you wish, and it’s a pretty helpful tool to have in the later stages of the game.
Forest Seal Stone
This card is more ofan emergency exitin case you really need Energy andyou don’t find the Electric Generator.You have to attach it to a Pokemon V or VMAX, and it’ll let you use its VSTAR Power,Star Alchemy, which will let you search for any card you wantfrom your deck and put it in your hand. Pretty simple, and pretty useful.
Ultra Ball And Nest Ball
The Ultra Ball is available for you in this deck in case you don’t find a Regieleki VMAX. To use it, you’ll have to discard two cards from your hand, and then,you’re able to take a look at your deck and draw any Pokemon you wish.
On the other hand, the Nest Ball lets yousearch for a Basic Pokemon to put on your bench.
Serena And Boss Orders
Both Serena and Boss Ordersare very important in this deck as they help you focus on defeating any potential danger of your opponent. It’s important touse them as soon as you are set upto attack because you can take the lead very early and mess with your opponent’s strategy very quickly.
Serenahas two usages; in the first one, you can discard up to three cards from your hand. If you do, you candraw cards until having five.It works like a lite version of Professor Research, but it can be useful in cases when you are stuck with a terrible first hand.
Serena’s second usage is way more interesting for this deck, as it lets youswitch your opponent’s Active Pokemonfor one of your opponent’sbenched Pokemon V.This is very important because you’ll want to focus on hitting the most dangerous points of your opponents very early, otherwise, you may lose. This deck isn’t designed for long matches.
On the other side,Boss Orders lets you switch your opponent’s Active Pokemonfor any other of your opponent’s benched Pokemon. It works in cases when you are in a mirror match or against a Gardevoir ex.
Beach Court
Switching is important in this deck, so having free switches is a very useful perk. That’s exactly whatBeach Courtdoes for you because if you use it as a stadium, the retreat cost of Basic Pokemon in play will cost one Energy card less.
In short,Basic Pokemon will not have retreat costs.Meaning you can switch between Regieleki V, Raikou V, Miraidon ex, Klefki, or Radiant Greninja freely.

How To Play Miraidon/Regieleki Deck
You have to attempt to start firstbecause this deck depends on how quickly you can set up.Your aim is to find at least two Regieleki Vto have them in your bench, as well as aMiraidon ex or a Raikou V.That’s pretty much it. If you get Energy cards, set them up for your selected attacker.
After that, your aim is toset as many Regieleki VMAX as you can(it’s up to three, so you’ll deal an extra 90 damage). That’s all the setup you’ll do; the rest depends on how well you use the tools you have at hand.
If you are wondering why you should use two or three Klefki cards in this deck, it’s because the Lost Box engines usually use Escape Rope to get rid of this kind of card. To avoid this from happening, you should try todraw at least two Klefki cards and have them on your bench.
Weakness
The main problem with this deck is that it’s not designed to come from behind;it needs you to set it up as soon as possible(so there’s little room for error), and doesn’t have the same damage output potential as it can have others such as all the VSTARs.
The good thing is that Lost Box isn’t a problem, butit doesn’t have a reliable way to stop other decks from building properly.As an example, It doesn’t have a way to stop Lugia VSTAR from using its Double Turbo Energy, and it can’t stop Eternatus VMAX from bulking its bench with Dark Pokemon. So,this deck depends solely on your ability of setting it in turn oneand attack these decks before they can attack you.
