Dialga Ex dominates the Pokemon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion, boasting its own powerful deck archetypes. Here's a look at two top-tier Dialga Ex deck builds:
Table of Contents
- Metal Dialga Ex
- Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo
Metal Dialga Ex
This deck leverages Dialga Ex's synergy with Metal-type Pokémon, particularly Meltan and Melmetal, which have historically struggled but now find a competitive edge.
- Pokémon: Meltan x2, Melmetal x2, Dialga Ex x2, Mew Ex, Heatran, Tauros, Dawn
- Trainer Cards: Giovanni x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Giant Cape x2
Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability is key, allowing for rapid Energy attachment to bench Pokémon, accelerating the setup of Melmetal. Mew Ex and Tauros act as effective counters, benefiting from the Colorless Energy requirements of their attacks, further enhanced by Metallic Turbo.
Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo
This deck pairs Dialga Ex with Yanmega Ex, creating a formidable Colorless-based strategy.
- Pokémon: Dialga Ex x2, Yanma x2, Yanmega Ex x2, Tauros, Mew Ex
- Trainer Cards: Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Pokémon Communication x2, Giant Cape x2, Dawn x2, Leaf x2
Yanmega Ex's Air Slash, despite discarding an Energy, delivers substantial 120 damage, often securing one-hit knockouts. Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo readily replenishes discarded Energy. While Yanmega Ex is a strong partner, experimentation with other Colorless attackers like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex is encouraged due to Dialga Ex's versatile Metallic Turbo ability.
