Gardevoir ex Still Reigns Supreme
Gardevoir ex continues to dominate the Journey Together format, taking down half of the major events and showing up strong in every top bracket. Even without Refinement Kirlia, the deck has adapted beautifully, leaning into Cleffa OBF and a toolbox of draw supporters to keep the engine running.
We’re spotlighting Brent Tonisson’s winning list — the one that won Monterrey Regionals and followed up with a Top 8 finish in Milwaukee. This build thrives by executing a clean, consistent game plan turn after turn, with extra support from multiple Munkidori to cover off-meta threats like Froslass Munkidori and create alternative lines against Dragapult ex, no Mew ex needed.
Key tip: manual Energy attachments matter. Don’t overlook matchups where powering up Lillie’s Clefairy ex becomes your win condition — especially versus Dragapult. Gardevoir ex may be a tough deck to pilot, but in the right hands, it’s one of the most powerful tools in the meta.
