Note that Pokemon Communication, the sole card from the Dialga pack in this decklist, is essential.

Don't waste your daily free pulls on just two copies of a 2-Diamond card costing 70 Pack Points each; instead, prioritize Palkia packs to complete your deck.
How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
This deck doesn't rely on healing but emphasizes Palkia ex's ability to strike hard and fast, supported by strategically chosen Pokemon and Trainer cards. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm, though energy-intensive, is complemented by its Slash attack for consistent damage output.
Manaphy and Vaporeon form the backbone of your strategy. Utilize Manaphy's Oceanic Gift to distribute Water Energy to your bench, setting up for Vaporeon's Wash Out to transfer the energy to Palkia ex when needed. Misty's luck-based ability can be a game-changer, potentially loading Palkia ex with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, allowing you to one-hit KO an opponent's Pokemon each turn and secure victory swiftly. Cyrus adds an extra layer of strategy by damaging benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift.
