Space-Time Smackdown has unleashed a plethora of options for crafting the ultimate Palkia ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket. To dominate rivals like Dialga ex and conquer the meta, here's a winning Palkia-centric strategy:

This top-tier Palkia ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket utilizes two copies of the legendary Pokémon, complemented by synergistic cards like Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. The complete list, including acquisition methods, is detailed below:
| **Card** | **Type** | **How To Get** |
| Palkia ex (A2 049) x2 | Water-type Pokémon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Manaphy (A2 050) x2 | Water-type Pokémon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Vaporeon (A1a 019) x2 | Water-type Pokémon | Mythical Island |
| Eevee (A1a 061) x2 | Normal-type Pokémon | Mythical Island |
| Staryu (A1 074) x1 | Water-type Pokémon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Starmie ex (A1 076) x1 | Water-type Pokémon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Misty (A1 220) x2 | Supporter | Genetic Apex – Pikachu |
| Cyrus (A2 150) x1 | Supporter | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Professor Oak (P-A 007) x2 | Supporter | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each) |
| X Speed (P-A 002) x1 | Item | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets) |
| Poké Ball (P-A 005) x2 | Item | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each) |
| Pokémon Communication (A2 146) x2 | Item | Space-Time Smackdown – Dialga |
Pokémon Communication, the only card from the Dialga pack, is efficiently acquired using Pack Points earned from Palkia booster packs. Prioritizing Palkia packs over daily free pulls for these cards is a more strategic approach.
This deck, lacking healing cards, emphasizes Palkia ex's aggressive attack strategy. Supporting cards enhance its speed and power. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift strategically distributes Water Energy, while Vaporeon's Wash Out ensures Palkia ex has the energy needed for its powerful Dimensional Storm attack. Misty provides a chance to boost Palkia ex's energy for multiple Dimensional Storm attacks, potentially securing swift victories. Cyrus adds a strategic edge by leveraging Dimensional Rift's damage to benched Pokémon.
The inclusion of Poké Ball and Pokémon Communication minimizes dead draws, ensuring a smooth gameplay experience. Starmie ex serves as a quick and powerful backup attacker, capable of securing wins independently. This deck combines speed, power, and strategic depth, making it a formidable force in the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta.
