Poke Ball (P-A 005) x2ItemShop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each)
Pokemon Communication (A2 146) x2ItemSpace-Time Smackdown – Dialga

The only card from the Dialga pack in this decklist is Pokemon Communication. It's wise to use your Pack Points from opening Palkia boosters to exchange for these cards immediately. It's not worth using your daily free pulls for just two copies of a 2-Diamond card that costs only 70 Pack Points each. Instead, focus on grabbing Palkia packs to secure the remaining essential cards you need.

How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket

This deck doesn't rely on healing cards but instead focuses on Palkia ex's ability to deliver powerful and swift attacks, enhanced by other Pokemon and Trainer cards that help you dominate and dismantle your opponents.

Palkia ex's key advantage is its Dimensional Storm, which, despite its high Energy cost, can be complemented by the Slash attack for additional damage while setting up its most potent move. Vaporeon and Manaphy form the core support of this deck, utilizing Manaphy's Oceanic Gift to transfer Water Energy to your benched Pokemon, followed by Vaporeon's Wash Out ability to supply Palkia ex with the necessary Energy when the time comes.

The two Misty cards offer a luck-based advantage, potentially stacking Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, allowing you to one-hit KO an opponent's Pokemon each turn and possibly secure all three points in just a few rounds. Additionally, Cyrus can be used strategically to inflict damage on benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift, enhancing your chances of victory.

Best Palkia Ex Deck Strategies

While bad hands can occur with any deck, having two each of Poke Ball and Pokemon Communication helps you streamline your deck and quickly counter or prevent dead draws. To mitigate Palkia ex's Energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a quick and effective backup attacker, capable of dealing significant damage with ease. In the right scenario, this top contender from Genetic Apex can secure a win on its own.

Overall, this Palkia ex deck is a fast-moving, heavy-hitting arsenal ready to make waves in the current *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta.
