Top-Tier Deck Builds Unveiled: Exploring Dialga

Dialga Ex dominates the Space-Time Smackdown expansion in Pokemon TCG Pocket, boasting its own powerful deck archetypes. Here are two top-tier Dialga Ex deck builds to start with:

Table of Contents

  • Metal Dialga Ex
  • Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo

Metal Dialga Ex

This deck leverages the Metal-type synergy, addressing past weaknesses. The inclusion of Dialga Ex significantly boosts consistency.

  • Meltan x2
  • Melmetal x2
  • Dialga Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Heatran
  • Tauros
  • Dawn x2
  • Giovanni x2
  • Leaf x2
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Giant Cape x2

Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability accelerates Energy attachment to benched Pokémon, rapidly powering up Melmetal. Mew Ex and Tauros, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo, serve as effective counters. Their Colorless Energy requirements ensure swift deployment alongside Dialga Ex's attacks.

Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo

This deck combines Dialga Ex with Yanmega Ex, creating a formidable Colorless-based strategy.

  • Dialga Ex x2
  • Yanma x2
  • Yanmega Ex x2
  • Tauros
  • Mew Ex
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Pokemon Communication x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Leaf x2

Yanmega Ex's Air Slash, dealing 120 damage, can quickly eliminate many opponents. While requiring Energy discard, Dialga Ex readily replenishes the energy supply. Dialga Ex's versatility extends beyond this pairing; its Metallic Turbo ability makes it a valuable asset in various Colorless decks. Experimentation with other Colorless attackers like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex is encouraged.

These are two excellent starting points for building Dialga Ex decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket. For more gaming insights, check out The Escapist.
