Dialga, a key figure in the Space-Time Smackdown expansion, naturally deserves its own deck archetype in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Here are the top Dialga Ex decks you should consider building first.
Since the days of Pokemon TCG Pocket's Genetic Apex, Meltan and Melmetal, along with other Metal-type Pokemon, have faced challenges. They saw a slight revival during the Mythical Island expansion, but with Dialga Ex's release, this archetype might finally become competitive.
Dialga Ex enhances the deck's consistency with its Metallic Turbo ability, allowing you to attach two Metal Energy to your Benched Pokemon. This speeds up your ramp to Melmetal significantly.
Mew Ex and Tauros serve as counters within this deck and also benefit from Metallic Turbo. Mew Ex’s Genome Hacking and Tauros both require only Colorless Energy, enabling quicker builds while you're attacking with Dialga Ex.
Although I personally favor Yanmega Ex in a Grass-type deck alongside Exeggutor Ex, it pairs surprisingly well with Dialga Ex due to its Colorless Energy requirement. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash deals 120 damage, capable of one-shotting many opponents. The drawback is the need to discard an Energy, but Dialga Ex can quickly rebuild your Energy reserves.
Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo makes it a versatile addition to any Colorless deck. While Yanmega Ex might be its ideal partner, experimenting with other strong Colorless decks like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex could yield interesting results.
These are the best Dialga Ex decks to start with in Pokemon TCG Pocket. For more tips and insights into the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
