Crafting the ultimate Palkia ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is essential for dominating the competition, especially against formidable rivals like Dialga ex. This deck list includes two copies of Palkia ex along with synergistic cards such as Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Below is a detailed breakdown of the deck, including where to acquire each card:
| **Card** | **Type** | **How To Get** |

The only card from the Dialga pack in this deck is Pokemon Communication. It's advisable to use your Pack Points, earned from opening Palkia boosters, to acquire 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 obtaining Palkia packs to secure the remaining essential cards.
How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
This deck does not include healing cards, instead focusing on Palkia ex's ability to deliver powerful and swift attacks. It incorporates other Pokemon and Trainer cards to enhance your dominance and swiftly defeat opponents.
Palkia ex's key advantage is its Dimensional Storm attack, which, despite its high Energy cost, can be complemented by the Slash attack for additional damage while setting up the more potent move.
Vaporeon and Manaphy serve as the core support, utilizing Manaphy's Oceanic Gift to transfer Water Energy to benched Pokemon, and Vaporeon's Wash Out ability to provide Palkia ex with the necessary Energy when needed.
Misty's cards offer a chance-based advantage, potentially loading Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, enabling you to knock out an opponent's Pokemon in one hit each turn and possibly secure all three points in just a few rounds.
Cyrus can be strategically used to inflict damage on benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift, adding another layer of tactical advantage.

Best Palkia Ex Deck Strategies
Despite the potential for bad hands, the inclusion of two Poke Ball and two Pokemon Communication cards helps streamline your deck and mitigate or counter dead draws efficiently.

Overall, this Palkia ex deck is a fast-paced, hard-hitting arsenal poised to make a significant impact in the current Pokemon TCG Pocket meta.
