Space-Time Smackdown: Top Pokemon TCG Pocket Decks to Build First

The Pokemon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion significantly alters the meta. Here are the best decks to prioritize building:

Table of Contents

  • Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex
  • Metal Dialga Ex
  • Yanmega/Exeggutor
  • Pachirisu Ex

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

This deck utilizes:

  • Sneasel x2
  • Weavile Ex x2
  • Murkrow x2
  • Honchkrow x2
  • Darkrai Ex x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Great Cape x2

The key card is Dawn, a new Supporter allowing Energy transfer between Benched and Active Pokemon. This synergizes powerfully with Darkrai Ex's ability to inflict extra damage when Energy is moved. Weavile Ex adds further damage to already weakened opponents. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide supplemental attacks during setup.

Metal Dialga Ex

This deck features:

  • Meltan x2
  • Melmetal x2
  • Dialga Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Heatran
  • Tauros
  • Dawn
  • Giovanni's Scheme x2
  • Leaf x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Giant Cape x2

Dialga Ex enhances the previously struggling Metal-type archetype. Its Metallic Turbo ability rapidly attaches Metal Energy to Benched Pokemon, accelerating Melmetal deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros act as counters, with Tauros benefiting from Metallic Turbo.

Yanmega/Exeggutor

This deck includes:

  • Exeggcute (GA) x2
  • Exeggutor Ex x2
  • Yanma x2
  • Yanmega Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Erika's Hospitality x2
  • Leaf x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Rocky Helmet x2
  • Pokemon Communication

Building on Exeggutor Ex's strength, Yanmega Ex provides consistent attacks. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash delivers 120 damage, while Exeggutor Ex acts as a frontline attacker. Erika's Hospitality offers significant healing, and Rocky Helmet adds defense.

Pachirisu Ex

This decklist focuses on maximizing Pachirisu Ex's ability:

  • Pachirisu Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Zapdos Ex x2
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy
  • Giovanni's Scheme
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Rocky Helmet x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Lum Berry
  • X Speed x2
  • Potion x2

The deck prioritizes Pokemon Tool usage. With a Tool attached, Pachirisu Ex inflicts 80 damage with two Electric Energy. Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet boost its durability, while Potions provide sustain. Zapdos Ex offers reliable attacks during setup.
