EZNPC Why Hitmonchan ex Quick Straight Wins in TCG Pocket
Hitmonchan ex (B1 Mega Rising) brings fast Pokémon TCG Pocket pressure: Quick Straight hits 50 for 1 Fighting, ignores Weakness, and pairs with Lucario buffs to bully early boards and set up Rampardos KOs.
Hitmonchan ex has turned B1 Mega Rising into a sprint, not a marathon. You drop a Basic, attach one Fighting Energy, and you’re swinging right away. That tempo matters, especially if you’re trying to keep games quick while you grind resources or test lists, the same way some players use shops like EZNPC to sort out game currency and items so they can focus on actually playing. Quick Straight is the whole point: 50 damage for one Energy, no Weakness math to second-guess. You learn the numbers fast. You also learn how many fragile Basics fold before they ever get to evolve.
Making 50 Damage Actually Matter
The catch is obvious: 50 doesn’t scare bulky ex cards. So you build the deck like a pressure cooker. Lucario is the cleanest fix because that passive +20 turns Quick Straight into 70 with no extra work. Then you stack small boosts at the right time. Giovanni is perfect here because it’s not flashy, it’s just enough. A lot of turns end up being “attach, swing, and ask them what their plan is.” If they bench something that’s trying to set up, you punish it. If they hide behind a tank, you keep the damage flowing and force awkward retreats.
A Tight List With a Real Closer
With a 20-card limit, you can’t afford cute choices. Two Hitmonchan ex as openers is usually the sweet spot; you want to see one early, but you don’t want dead copies late. Rampardos gives you the finishing punch. While Hitmonchan chips away, you set up Cranidos on the bench and look for Rare Candy to skip the slow middle step. Then Head Smash for 130 ends games that would otherwise drag. Professor’s Research is non-negotiable when your hand bricks, and Sabrina steals wins by dragging up something that can’t take another hit.
Piloting Tips And Matchup Reads
The hardest part isn’t attacking, it’s managing prizes. Hitmonchan’s retreat cost is low, so use it. If they’re lining up a knockout, pull back and make them waste a turn. Giving up two prizes for free is how this deck loses. You’ll feel great into Lightning-weak boards and slower setups that need time, but Psychic matchups can get rough. Mew ex can flip the script fast, so be ready to pivot into non-Fighting lines when you smell trouble and don’t over-bench liabilities.
Keeping The Grind Simple
This deck wins because it stays honest: fast attacks, clean math, and just enough disruption to keep opponents off-balance. You’re not trying to assemble a perfect combo every game; you’re trying to make every turn annoying for the other player. If you like that kind of straightforward pressure, it’s a great build to spam while you’re climbing and testing, and it pairs nicely with the way some folks streamline their setup through Pokemon TCG Pocket Accounts when they want to jump into matches without waiting around for everything to line up.
