The Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
The top Palkia ex deck in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* includes two copies of the legendary Palkia, complemented by key combo cards such as Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Here's a detailed breakdown of the deck and how to acquire each card:

| Staryu (A1 074) x1 | Water-type Pokemon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Starmie ex (A1 076) x1 | Water-type Pokemon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Misty (A1 220) x2 | Supporter | Genetic Apex – Pikachu |

| Poke Ball (P-A 005) x2 | Item | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each) |
| Pokemon Communication (A2 146) x2 | Item | Space-Time Smackdown – Dialga |
Pokemon Communication is the only card from the Dialga pack in this decklist. It's recommended to use your Pack Points earned from opening Palkia boosters to acquire these cards promptly. With each copy costing just 70 Pack Points, it's more efficient to focus on Palkia packs to secure the remaining crucial cards you need.
How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
This deck doesn't rely on healing cards but instead emphasizes Palkia ex's ability to deliver hard and fast attacks with the aid of synergistic Pokemon and Trainer cards. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm, while energy-intensive, can be supplemented by Slash for consistent damage output.
Vaporeon and Manaphy form the core support system. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift transfers Water Energy to benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out shifts energy to Palkia ex when needed. The two Misty cards offer a chance to stack Palkia with sufficient Water Energy for multiple uses of Dimensional Storm, potentially allowing you to knock out an opponent's Pokemon each turn and secure a swift victory.
Cyrus adds a strategic edge by inflicting damage on benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift.

To alleviate Palkia ex's energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a quick and potent backup attacker. This Genetic Apex standout can clinch victories on its own under the right circumstances.
In summary, this Palkia ex deck is a dynamic, hard-hitting force ready to make a splash in the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta.
