Metal Dialga ex
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 faced challenges since *Pokémon TCG Pocket*'s Genetic Apex era, experiencing brief revivals. Dialga ex's arrival may finally establish a competitive Metal-type archetype.
Dialga ex significantly enhances this deck's consistency. Metallic Turbo enables attaching two Metal Energy to benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's setup. Mew ex and Tauros serve as counters, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo's Colorless Energy compatibility, allowing for faster energy accumulation while attacking with Dialga ex.
Dialga ex/Yanmega ex Combo
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 excels in Grass-type decks with Exeggutor ex, it synergizes effectively with Dialga ex, particularly due to its Colorless Energy requirement. Yanmega ex's Air Slash (120 damage) can one-shot many opponents, offsetting the energy discard penalty through Dialga ex's energy acceleration.
Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo makes it adaptable to various Colorless decks. While Yanmega ex is a strong partner, experimentation with other Colorless decks featuring Pidgeot or Pidgeot ex is worthwhile.
These are some of the best initial Dialga ex deck builds for *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. For more game tips and information, check out The Escapist.
