Metal Dialga ex

This decklist leverages the Metal-type synergy introduced with Dialga ex: Meltan x2, Melmetal x2, Dialga ex x2, Mew ex, Heatran, Tauros, Dawn x2, Giovanni x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Giant Cape x2. Meltan and Melmetal, previously struggling, find renewed strength thanks to Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo ability. This allows for rapid Energy attachment to benched Pokémon, accelerating the setup of Melmetal. Mew ex and Tauros act as valuable counters, also benefiting from the efficient Energy acceleration provided by Metallic Turbo. Their Colorless Energy requirements ensure quick deployment while Dialga ex carries the offensive load.

Dialga ex/Yanmega ex Combo

This decklist pairs Dialga ex with Yanmega ex: Dialga ex x2, Yanma x2, Yanmega ex x2, Tauros, Mew ex, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, Pokémon Communication x2, Giant Cape x2, Dawn x2, Leaf x2. While Yanmega ex shines in Grass-type decks alongside Exeggutor ex, its Colorless Energy cost makes it a surprisingly effective partner for Dialga ex. Yanmega ex’s Air Slash, dealing 120 damage, can quickly eliminate many opponents. The Energy discard drawback is easily mitigated by Dialga ex's ability to quickly replenish Energy. Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo makes it a versatile addition to various Colorless decks, and while Yanmega ex proves a strong partner, experimentation with other Colorless attackers like Pidgeot or Pidgeot ex is encouraged.

These are excellent starting points for building Dialga ex decks in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. For more gameplay tips and information, check out The Escapist.
