The best Palkia ex deck in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* features two copies of the legendary Palkia ex, complemented by key combo cards such as Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Below is a detailed list of the cards and how to acquire each one:

Pokemon Communication, the only card from the Dialga pack in this decklist, can be acquired by using your Pack Points earned from opening Palkia boosters. It's not worth using daily free pulls for just two copies of this 2-Diamond card, which costs only 70 Pack Points each. Focus instead on acquiring more Palkia packs to complete your deck with essential cards.

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

This deck, while lacking in healing cards, emphasizes Palkia ex's ability to strike quickly and powerfully, bolstered by other Pokemon and Trainer cards designed to dominate and overpower your opponents. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm, though energy-intensive, can be supplemented by its Slash attack while setting up for a devastating move.

Vaporeon and Manaphy are the backbone of this deck's support system. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift allows you to transfer Water Energy to your benched Pokemon, which Vaporeon's Wash Out ability can then redirect to Palkia ex when needed. The two Misty cards offer a chance-based advantage, potentially loading Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, enabling you to one-hit KO an opponent's Pokemon each turn and potentially secure all three points swiftly.

Cyrus can be used strategically to inflict damage on benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift, enhancing your chances of victory.

Best Palkia Ex Deck Strategies

Even the best decks can suffer from bad hands, but with two each of Poke Ball and Pokemon Communication, you can efficiently thin your deck and mitigate or counteract dead draws. To address Palkia ex's energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a swift and powerful backup attacker capable of dealing substantial damage and potentially winning matches single-handedly.

In summary, this Palkia ex deck is a formidable, fast-moving, and hard-hitting arsenal poised to make significant waves in the current *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta.
