Dialga, as a central figure in the Space-Time Smackdown expansion of *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, naturally comes with its own deck archetype. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best Dialga Ex decks you should consider building first.
Since the days of the Genetic Apex in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, Metal-type Pokémon like Meltan and Melmetal have faced challenges in the meta. They experienced a slight resurgence during the Mythical Island expansion, but it's with the introduction of Dialga Ex that they might finally find a competitive edge.
Dialga Ex enhances the deck's consistency significantly. Its Metallic Turbo ability allows you to attach two Metal Energy cards to your Benched Pokémon, speeding up the evolution into Melmetal. Additionally, Mew Ex and Tauros serve as effective counters within this deck, both benefiting from the Metallic Turbo ability. Mew Ex's Genome Hacking and Tauros' attack require only Colorless Energy, making it easier to power them up quickly while you're actively using Dialga Ex.
While I personally favor Yanmega Ex in a Grass-type deck alongside Exeggutor Ex, it also pairs well with Dialga Ex, particularly due to its Colorless Energy requirement. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash deals a solid 120 damage, capable of knocking out many opponents in one hit. The trade-off is the need to discard an Energy card, but Dialga Ex's ability to quickly rebuild your Energy reserves mitigates this drawback.
It's important to note that Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability makes it a versatile addition to any Colorless deck. Although Yanmega Ex may be its best partner in this category, experimenting with other strong Colorless decks like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex could yield interesting results.
