Dialga, a prominent face in the *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Space-Time Smackdown expansion, naturally boasts its own powerful deck archetype. Here are two top-tier Dialga ex deck builds to start with.

- Metal Dialga ex
- Dialga ex/Yanmega ex Combo
Metal Dialga ex
This deck utilizes: 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 in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*, find renewed strength alongside Dialga ex. Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo ability significantly boosts consistency by attaching two Metal Energy to your benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew ex and Tauros, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo, act as valuable counters. Mew ex's Genome Hacking and Tauros' attacks only require Colorless Energy, ensuring rapid setup while Dialga ex carries the offensive load.
Dialga ex/Yanmega ex Combo
This deck features: 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 excels in Grass-type decks with Exeggutor ex, it forms a surprisingly effective partnership with Dialga ex. Yanmega ex's Air Slash, dealing 120 damage, can swiftly eliminate many opponents, despite requiring Energy discard. Dialga ex readily replenishes this loss. Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo makes it adaptable to various Colorless decks; while Yanmega ex is a strong partner, experimentation with other Colorless attackers like Pidgeot or Pidgeot ex is encouraged.
These are two excellent starting points for building Dialga ex decks in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. For more gameplay tips and strategies, check out The Escapist.
