Pokemon Communication is the only card in this deck that comes from the Dialga pack. It's advisable to use your Pack Points from opening Palkia boosters to acquire these cards swiftly. It's more efficient to use your daily free pulls to gather Palkia packs rather than chasing a single 2-Diamond card, which costs only 70 Pack Points each.

How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket

This deck focuses on Palkia ex's ability to attack hard and fast, supported by key Pokemon and Trainer cards that enable you to dominate and swiftly defeat your opponents. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm is a high-energy move, but you can use Slash for consistent damage while setting up your main attack.

Vaporeon and Manaphy are crucial for support, utilizing Manaphy's Oceanic Gift to transfer Water Energy to benched Pokemon, and Vaporeon's Wash Out to move energy as needed for Palkia ex's powerful attacks. Misty's cards can provide a lucky boost, potentially stacking Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, allowing you to one-hit KO an opponent's Pokemon each turn and secure victory quickly.

Cyrus can be strategically used to inflict additional damage to benched Pokemon, enhancing your chances of a swift win.

Best Palkia Ex Deck Strategies

Although dead draws can occur, having two each of Poke Ball and Pokemon Communication helps streamline your deck and mitigate this issue. To counter Palkia ex's high Energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a reliable backup attacker that can deal significant damage with minimal setup, potentially clinching a match single-handedly.

Overall, this Palkia ex deck is a formidable, fast-moving, and high-damage arsenal ready to make waves in the current Pokemon TCG Pocket meta.
