Dialga Ex dominates the Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion, boasting its own powerful deck archetypes. Here are two top-tier Dialga Ex deck builds to start with:
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, addressing past weaknesses.
- Meltan x2
- Melmetal x2
- Dialga Ex x2
- Mew Ex
- Heatran
- Tauros
- Dawn x2
- Giovanni x2
- Leaf x2
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poké Ball x2
- Giant Cape x2
Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability significantly improves consistency. It allows for rapid Energy attachment to benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo, serve as effective counters. Their Colorless Energy requirements ensure quick setup alongside Dialga Ex's attacks.
Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo
This deck pairs Dialga Ex with Yanmega Ex for a powerful Colorless attack strategy.
- Dialga Ex x2
- Yanma x2
- Yanmega Ex x2
- Tauros
- Mew Ex
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poké Ball x2
- Pokémon Communication x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Dawn x2
- Leaf x2
Yanmega Ex's Air Slash, while discarding an Energy, delivers 120 damage, capable of one-shotting many opponents. Dialga Ex's ability readily replenishes discarded Energy. This combination proves surprisingly effective. Note that Dialga Ex's versatility extends to other Colorless decks; experimentation with Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex is encouraged.
