Dialga Ex: Top Deck Builds for TCG Glory

Dialga Ex dominates the Pokemon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion, boasting powerful deck archetypes. Here are two top-tier Dialga Ex deck builds to try first.

  • Metal Dialga Ex
  • Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo

Metal Dialga Ex

This deck leverages Dialga Ex's synergy with Metal-type Pokémon, addressing past weaknesses.

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

Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability significantly boosts consistency by attaching two Metal Energy to benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo, serve as effective counters. Mew Ex's Genome Hacking and Tauros' attack require only Colorless Energy, ensuring rapid setup while Dialga Ex attacks.

Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo

This deck pairs Dialga Ex with Yanmega Ex for a potent Colorless-based strategy.

  • Dialga Ex x2
  • Yanma x2
  • Yanmega Ex x2
  • Tauros
  • Mew Ex
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Pokemon Communication x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Leaf x2

While Yanmega Ex shines in Grass-type decks, its Colorless Energy requirement makes it a surprisingly effective partner for Dialga Ex. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash inflicts 120 damage, capable of one-shotting many opponents, despite the Energy discard penalty easily mitigated by Dialga Ex's energy acceleration. Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo makes it adaptable to various Colorless decks, with Yanmega Ex proving a particularly strong pairing. Experimentation with other Colorless attackers like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex is encouraged.
