Central to this deck's strategy is the use of Manaphy as an Energy accelerator, which facilitates the rapid deployment of Origin Forme Palkia and Bibarel as the deck's main attackers. Should Manaphy be knocked out or unavailable, players can pivot to using Origin Forme Palkia as a defensive wall while Bibarel continues to set up the board. This adaptability makes the Giratina EX and Darkrai EX deck a formidable choice in the current meta.
