The Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket

| **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 obtained using Pack Points earned from Palkia boosters. Prioritizing Palkia packs is more efficient than relying on daily free pulls for these cards.
How to Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck
This deck, lacking healing, excels at swift, powerful attacks. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm, while energy-intensive, is complemented by Slash for consistent damage. Vaporeon's Wash Out and Manaphy's Oceanic Gift strategically manage Water Energy distribution. Misty provides a chance to power up Palkia ex for multiple Dimensional Storm attacks, potentially securing victory in a few rounds. Cyrus offers strategic advantage by targeting benched Pokémon with Dimensional Rift.
Best Palkia Ex Deck Strategies
Duplicate Poké Balls and Pokémon Communication mitigate dead draws. Starmie ex serves as a readily deployable backup attacker, capable of significant damage and even solo victories. This deck combines speed and power for optimal performance in the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta.
