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

This deck is designed to leverage Palkia ex's ability to deliver powerful and rapid attacks, supported by key Pokemon and Trainer cards. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm requires significant Energy, but you can use Slash for consistent damage while setting up for the big move.

Manaphy and Vaporeon are crucial for energy management. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift allows you to move Water Energy to your benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out can transfer the necessary Energy to Palkia ex when needed.

Misty's cards offer a chance to stack Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, potentially allowing you to knock out an opponent's Pokemon each turn and secure victory quickly. Cyrus can be used strategically to deal damage to benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift.

Best Palkia Ex Deck Strategies

Despite the risk of bad hands, the inclusion of Poke Ball and Pokemon Communication helps streamline your deck and mitigate dead draws. To address Palkia ex's Energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a reliable backup attacker that can deal substantial damage with minimal setup, potentially winning matches on its own.

Overall, this Palkia ex deck is a fast and powerful option that can make a significant impact in the current Pokemon TCG Pocket meta.
