Dawn, a new Supporter card, is key. It lets you shift Energy from a benched Pokémon to your active Pokémon. This energy manipulation is crucial, especially combined with Darkrai Ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when energy is moved. Weavile Ex adds further damage to already weakened opponents. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide supplemental attacks while building your bench.

Dialga Ex enhances the consistency of this previously struggling Metal-type archetype. Metallic Turbo allows for rapid Metal Energy attachment to benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros act as counters, with Tauros benefiting from Metallic Turbo.
