Pokemon TCG Pocket: Best Palkia ex deck

On the face of it, the Palkia ex card looks like a tough setup due to the four energy requirement for the Dimensional Storm attack.

However, there are both Pokemon and Supporter cards that can be utilized in conjunction with Palkia to dump as many energy as possible onto it and destroy those in your path.

Here is the full best Palkia ex deck list so you can get to crafting it for yourself:

  • Palkia ex x2
  • Vaporeon (Mythical Island) x2
  • Manaphy x2
  • Staryu x2
  • Starmie ex x2
  • Misty x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Cyrus x1
  • Sabrina x1
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2

What’s great about this deck is that unlike older Water-based decks, you don’t have to completely rely on Misty for energy.

Throwing Manaphy into the active spot allows you to place energy straight onto the bench which likely includes Palkia right off the bat since it is a basic Pokemon.

If you don’t have Palkia there though, utilizing Vaporeon’s Wash Out ability means you can stack energy onto any Pokemon and then transfer them onto Palkia when you pull and then move it to the active spot.

Using both of these in conjunction with Misty, as well as Starmie ex as backup, and you should be covered from a variety of angles.

The Giant Cape Pokemon Tool is also a nice to have since you can throw it onto Palkia when in the active spot just to enhance that HP that’ll almost certainly be getting drained.
