Space-Time Smackdown has unleashed a plethora of options for crafting the ultimate Palkia ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket. To dominate rivals like Dialga ex and other meta decks, here's a winning Palkia-centric lineup.
| **Card** | **Type** | **How To Get** |
| Palkia ex (A2 049) x2 | Water-type Pokémon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Manaphy (A2 050) x2 | Water-type Pokémon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Vaporeon (A1a 019) x2 | Water-type Pokémon | Mythical Island |
| Eevee (A1a 061) x2 | Normal-type Pokémon | Mythical Island |
| Staryu (A1 074) x1 | Water-type Pokémon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Starmie ex (A1 076) x1 | Water-type Pokémon | 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) |
| Poké Ball (P-A 005) x2 | Item | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each) |
| Pokémon Communication (A2 146) x2 | Item | Space-Time Smackdown – Dialga |
Pokémon Communication, the only new card from the Dialga pack in this deck, is best obtained using Pack Points earned from opening Palkia boosters. Spending daily free pulls on two 2-Diamond cards costing 70 Pack Points each is less efficient than focusing on Palkia packs for essential cards.
This deck, lacking healing cards, prioritizes Palkia ex's powerful, rapid attacks. Supporting Pokémon and Trainer cards enhance this strategy.
Palkia ex's high-cost Dimensional Storm is balanced by the supplemental damage of Slash while powering up its most potent move. Vaporeon and Manaphy are key support, using Manaphy's Oceanic Gift to distribute Water Energy to benched Pokémon, and Vaporeon's Wash Out to provide Palkia ex with the necessary energy for Dimensional Storm.
Two Misty cards offer a chance to boost Palkia ex with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, potentially achieving a one-hit KO each turn and securing victory quickly. Cyrus provides a strategic advantage due to Dimensional Rift's damage to benched Pokémon.
While bad hands are possible, two each of Poké Ball and Pokémon Communication mitigate dead draws. Starmie ex acts as a fast, powerful backup attacker, capable of winning matches independently.
This Palkia ex deck offers a fast, hard-hitting strategy to dominate the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta.
