In the world of *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, crafting the ultimate Palkia ex deck is crucial for dominating the competition, especially against formidable opponents like Dialga ex. Here's a comprehensive guide to assembling the best Palkia-focused deck to help you surge ahead in the meta.
The optimal Palkia ex deck in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* features two copies of the legendary Palkia ex, complemented by strategic cards such as Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Below is a detailed list of the essential cards and their acquisition methods:
| Card | Type | How To Get |
| Palkia ex (A2 049) x2 | Water-type Pokemon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Manaphy (A2 050) x2 | Water-type Pokemon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Vaporeon (A1a 019) x2 | Water-type Pokemon | Mythical Island |
| Eevee (A1a 061) x2 | Normal-type Pokemon | Mythical Island |
| Staryu (A1 074) x1 | Water-type Pokemon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Starmie ex (A1 076) x1 | Water-type Pokemon | 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) |
| Poke Ball (P-A 005) x2 | Item | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each) |
| Pokemon Communication (A2 146) x2 | Item | Space-Time Smackdown – Dialga |
Pokemon Communication, the only card from the Dialga pack in this deck, is best acquired using Pack Points from Palkia boosters. It's not worth using your daily free pulls for just two copies of a 2-Diamond card, which can be obtained for 70 Pack Points each. Instead, focus on Palkia packs to secure the remaining essential cards.
This deck is designed for swift, powerful attacks with Palkia ex, supported by strategic cards to enhance its performance. Although it lacks healing cards, the deck leverages Palkia ex's ability to deal substantial damage quickly.
Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm requires significant Energy, but you can use Slash for interim damage while preparing for the ultimate strike. Manaphy and Vaporeon are central to the deck's strategy. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift allows you to shift Water Energy to benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out moves the necessary Energy to Palkia ex when needed.
Misty's cards offer a chance-based boost, potentially stacking Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, enabling you to one-hit KO an opponent's Pokemon each turn and possibly secure all three points in just a few rounds. Cyrus adds a strategic edge by damaging benched Pokemon as well.

Despite the risk of bad hands, having two each of Poke Ball and Pokemon Communication helps streamline your deck and counter dead draws effectively. To address Palkia ex's Energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a reliable backup attacker, capable of dealing significant damage with ease, potentially winning matches single-handedly in the right scenarios.
This Palkia ex deck is a fast-moving, hard-hitting force ready to make a significant impact in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta.
