Dialga, a prominent face in the *Pokémon TCG: Pocket* Space-Time Smackdown expansion, naturally boasts its own powerful deck archetype. Here are the top Dialga ex decks to build first.
Best Dialga ex Decks in Pokémon TCG: Pocket
Metal Dialga ex
This deck utilizes: 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. Metal-type Pokémon, including Meltan and Melmetal, have historically struggled in *Pokémon TCG: Pocket*, experiencing brief resurgences but never truly dominating. Dialga ex changes this. Its Metallic Turbo ability allows for rapid Energy attachment to benched Pokémon, significantly accelerating the setup of Melmetal.
Mew ex and Tauros serve as effective counters and also benefit from Metallic Turbo's Colorless Energy compatibility, allowing for quicker development while Dialga ex carries the main offensive load.
Dialga ex/Yanmega ex Combo
This deck features: 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. While Yanmega ex often shines in Grass-type decks alongside Exeggutor ex, its Colorless Energy requirement makes it a surprisingly effective partner for Dialga ex. Yanmega ex’s Air Slash, dealing 120 damage, can quickly eliminate many opponents. The Energy discard penalty is easily mitigated by Dialga ex's ability to quickly replenish Energy.
Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo makes it a versatile addition to many Colorless decks. While Yanmega ex is arguably its optimal Colorless partner, experimenting with other strong Colorless Pokémon like Pidgeot or Pidgeot ex is encouraged.
These are the top Dialga ex decks for new players in *Pokémon TCG: Pocket*. For more *Pokémon TCG: Pocket* strategies and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist.
