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

• Metal Dialga Ex
• Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo

Metal Dialga Ex

This deck leverages Dialga Ex's synergy with Metal-type Pokémon, previously underperforming in Pokemon TCG Pocket. The inclusion of Dialga Ex significantly improves consistency.

• Pokémon: Meltan x2, Melmetal x2, Dialga Ex x2, Mew Ex, Heatran, Tauros, Dawn
• Trainer Cards: Giovanni x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké 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 allow for quick deployment alongside Dialga Ex's attacks.

Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo

This deck pairs Dialga Ex with Yanmega Ex, creating a formidable Colorless-based strategy. While Yanmega Ex shines in Grass-type decks, its Colorless energy cost makes it a strong ally for Dialga Ex.

• Pokémon: Dialga Ex x2, Yanma x2, Yanmega Ex x2, Tauros, Mew Ex
• Trainer Cards: Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Pokémon Communication x2, Giant Cape x2, Dawn x2, Leaf x2

Yanmega Ex's Air Slash inflicts 120 damage, capable of one-shotting many opponents, despite the energy discard penalty. Dialga Ex readily replenishes the discarded energy. Experimentation with other strong Colorless Pokémon like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex is encouraged, as Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo enhances almost any Colorless deck.

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