The best Palkia ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is designed to dominate the meta, particularly against rivals like Dialga ex. This deck features two copies of the legendary Palkia ex, along with synergistic cards such as Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Below is the detailed list of cards, including how to obtain each:

Pokemon Communication is the only card in this decklist sourced from the Dialga pack. It's advisable to use your Pack Points earned from opening Palkia boosters to acquire these cards promptly. Spending daily free pulls on just two copies of a 2-Diamond card, which costs only 70 Pack Points each, is not worth it. Instead, focus on obtaining Palkia packs to secure the remaining crucial cards you need.

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

This deck, while lacking healing cards, emphasizes Palkia ex’s ability to attack rapidly and powerfully. It includes other Pokemon and Trainer cards to help you dominate and swiftly defeat your opponents.

Palkia ex's primary advantage lies in its Dimensional Storm, which, despite requiring significant Energy, can be complemented by the Slash attack for additional damage during setup.

Vaporeon and Manaphy form the backbone of the deck's support system. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift ability allows you to transfer Water Energy to benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out can provide Palkia ex with the necessary Energy when needed.

The two Misty cards offer a chance-based advantage, potentially loading Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple uses of Dimensional Storm. This setup allows you to potentially knock out an opponent’s Pokemon in one hit each turn, securing all three points in just a few rounds.

Cyrus can be utilized strategically, as Dimensional Rift affects benched Pokemon as well, enhancing your chances of winning.
