Pokemon TCG Pocket: Space-Time Smackdown Best Decks

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

• Sneasel x2
• Weavile Ex x2
• Murkrow x2
• Honchkrow x2
• Darkrai Ex x2
• Dawn x2
• Cyrus x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Great Cape x2

The Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex deck is a powerhouse, especially with the new Supporter card, Dawn. This card revolutionizes energy management by allowing you to transfer energy from a Benched Pokemon to an Active one. In Pokemon TCG Pocket, effective energy allocation is crucial, and Dawn's ability to shift energy can turn the tide of battle.

Pair this with Darkrai Ex, whose ability inflicts an additional 20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon upon receiving an energy transfer, and you have a formidable combo. Weavile Ex then capitalizes on this by dealing extra damage to already weakened opponents. Murkrow and Honchkrow serve as reliable attackers while you prepare your bench.

Metal Dialga Ex

• 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

Metal-type Pokemon have faced challenges since the Genetic Apex expansion, but Metal Dialga Ex could be their ticket back to competitiveness. Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability allows you to attach two Metal Energy to Benched Pokemon, speeding up your ramp to Melmetal.

Including Mew Ex and Tauros as counters adds versatility, with Tauros particularly benefiting from Metallic Turbo. This deck promises increased consistency and the potential to dominate the meta.

Yanmega/Exeggutor

• Exeggcute (GA) x2
• Exeggutor Ex x2
• Yanma x2
• Yanmega Ex x2
• Mew Ex
• Erika x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Rocky Helmet x2
• Pokemon Communication

Grass-type decks surged with Celebi Ex during Mythical Island, but Exeggutor Ex has always been the real star. Now, with Yanmega Ex, it's set to continue shining. Yanmega Ex's consistent 120 damage from Air Slash is impressive, while Exeggutor Ex holds the frontline.

Erika's healing capabilities and the new Rocky Helmet provide a strong defensive edge, making this deck a solid choice for sustained gameplay.

Pachirisu Ex

• Pachirisu Ex x2
• Mew Ex
• Zapdos Ex x2
• Cyrus
• Giovanni
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Rocky Helmet x2
• Giant Cape x2
• Lum Berry
• X Speed x2
• Potion x2

Pachirisu Ex’s deck focuses on leveraging Pokemon Tools effectively. With a tool attached, Pachirisu Ex can deal 80 damage with just two Electric Energy, offering excellent value. Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet bolster its durability, while Potions help maintain its health throughout the match.

Zapdos Ex remains a reliable attacker, supporting Pachirisu Ex while you set up your bench and await favorable draws.
