The pinnacle of Palkia ex decks in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* revolves around two copies of the legendary Palkia ex, bolstered by synergistic cards like Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Here's a detailed breakdown of the deck list, along with how to acquire each card:

Poke Ball (P-A 005) x2ItemShop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each)
Pokemon Communication (A2 146) x2ItemSpace-Time Smackdown – Dialga

The only card from the Dialga pack in this deck is Pokemon Communication. It's advisable to use your Pack Points, earned from opening Palkia boosters, to acquire these cards immediately. Spending your daily free pulls on a single 2-Diamond card, which costs only 70 Pack Points, isn't worth it. Instead, focus on obtaining Palkia packs to secure the remaining essential cards you need.

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

This deck is designed for aggressive play, leveraging Palkia ex's powerful attacks without relying on healing cards. Palkia ex's key advantage is its Dimensional Storm move, which, despite its high Energy cost, can be complemented by the Slash attack for consistent damage output while setting up the ultimate strike.

Manaphy and Vaporeon serve as the backbone of this deck's strategy. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift ability enables the transfer of Water Energy to benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out ability can then move this Energy to Palkia ex when needed. Misty's cards offer a chance-based boost, potentially stacking Palkia ex with enough Water Energy to unleash multiple Dimensional Storms, aiming for one-hit KOs each turn and securing victory in just a few rounds. Cyrus enhances this strategy by inflicting damage to benched Pokemon, adding an extra layer of tactical advantage.

In the right scenario, this powerhouse from Genetic Apex can clinch a match single-handedly.

This Palkia ex deck is a fast-paced, hard-hitting force, ready to make an impact in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta.
