The best Palkia ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket revolves around two copies of the Legendary Palkia ex, complemented by synergistic cards like Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Below is the detailed list of cards and how to acquire each one:
| **Card** | **Type** | **How To Get** |
| Palkia ex (A2 049) x2 | Water-type Pokemon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Manaphy (A2 050) x2 | Water-type Pokemon | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Vaporeon (A1a 019) x2 | Water-type Pokemon | Mythical Island |
| Eevee (A1a 061) x2 | Normal-type Pokemon | Mythical Island |
| 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 |
| Cyrus (A2 150) x1 | Supporter | Space-Time Smackdown – Palkia |
| Professor Oak (P-A 007) x2 | Supporter | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets each) |
| X Speed (P-A 002) x1 | Item | Shop (Exchange for two Shop Tickets) |
| 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 in this deck from the Dialga pack, so it's wise to use your Pack Points from Palkia boosters to acquire these cards quickly. It's not worth using your daily free pulls just for two copies of a 2-Diamond card that costs only 70 Pack Points each. Instead, focus on Palkia packs to gather the remaining essential cards.
How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
This deck focuses on Palkia ex's ability to deliver powerful, fast attacks, supported by other Pokemon and Trainer cards that enhance its dominance. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm requires significant Energy, but you can use Slash for supplementary damage while setting up for its main move.
Manaphy and Vaporeon are crucial for support. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift shifts Water Energy to your benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out transfers the Energy to Palkia ex when needed. Misty's luck-based ability can stack Palkia with enough Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, potentially allowing you to one-hit KO an opponent's Pokemon each turn and secure victory swiftly.
Cyrus adds strategic depth by inflicting damage to benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift, aiding in an extra win.

Best Palkia Ex Deck Strategies
Bad hands can occur with any deck, but with two Poke Ball and Pokemon Communication cards, you can efficiently slim down your deck and mitigate dead draws. To address Palkia ex's Energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a reliable backup attacker that delivers substantial damage with ease. In the right scenario, this Genetic Apex star can clinch a victory on its own.
Overall, this Palkia ex deck offers a fast-paced, hard-hitting strategy ready to make waves in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta.
