The only card from the Dialga pack in this lineup is Pokemon Communication. It's wise to convert any Pack Points you've earned from opening Palkia boosters into this card immediately.

Instead, focus on acquiring more Palkia packs to secure the remaining crucial cards.
How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
This deck eschews healing cards in favor of an aggressive strategy, leveraging Palkia ex's ability to deliver swift and potent attacks. It is enhanced by key Pokemon and Trainer cards that help you overpower your opponents.
Palkia ex's primary advantage lies in its Dimensional Storm attack, which requires substantial Energy but can be complemented by the Slash attack for ongoing damage while setting up the more powerful move.
Vaporeon and Manaphy form the backbone of this deck's support system. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift ability allows you to move Water Energy to benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out ability transfers Energy to Palkia ex as needed.
The two Misty cards offer a chance-based advantage, potentially loading Palkia with enough Water Energy to execute multiple Dimensional Storm attacks, enabling one-hit knockouts each turn and possibly securing all three points in just a few rounds.
Cyrus adds a strategic layer, boosting the effectiveness of Dimensional Rift, which also damages benched Pokemon.

Despite the potential for bad hands, the inclusion of two Poke Balls and two Pokemon Communications helps streamline your deck, reducing the risk of dead draws.
To mitigate Palkia ex's Energy dependency, Starmie ex serves as a reliable backup attacker, capable of dealing substantial damage with ease. In the right scenario, this Genetic Apex standout can clinch a victory on its own.
Overall, this Palkia ex deck is a fast, hard-hitting force ready to make a significant impact in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta.
