Pokemon TCG Pocket: Space-Time Smackdown Best Decks

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

• Sneasel x2
• Weavile Ex x2
• Murkrow x2
• Honchkrow x2
• Darkrai Ex x2
• Dawn x2
• Cyrus x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Great Cape x2

The standout feature of this deck is the new Supporter card, Dawn, which lets you shift one Energy from a Benched Pokemon to your Active Pokemon. In Pokemon TCG Pocket, managing Energy effectively can turn the tide of battle, and Dawn's ability to manipulate this resource is a game-changer.

Combine this with Darkrai Ex, whose ability inflicts an additional 20 damage when you move Energy to it, and you have a formidable combo. Weavile Ex then capitalizes on weakened opponents, dealing extra damage to already damaged Pokemon. Murkrow and Honchkrow serve as reliable backups while you set up your bench.

Metal Dialga Ex

• Meltan x2
• Melmetal x2
• Dialga Ex x2
• Mew Ex
• Heatran
• Tauros
• Dawn x2
• Giovanni x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Giant Cape x2

Metal-type Pokemon like Meltan and Melmetal have faced challenges in the past, but with the introduction of Dialga Ex, they might finally find their competitive edge. Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability allows you to attach two Metal Energy to your Benched Pokemon, speeding up your transition to Melmetal.

This deck also includes Mew Ex and Tauros as strategic counters, with Tauros particularly benefiting from Metallic Turbo, enhancing its effectiveness on the field.

Yanmega/Exeggutor

• Exeggcute (GA) x2
• Exeggutor Ex x2
• Yanma x2
• Yanmega Ex x2
• Mew Ex
• Erika x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Rocky Helmet x2
• Pokemon Communication

The Grass-type decks surged in popularity with Celebi Ex during Mythical Island, but Exeggutor Ex remains the star. The addition of Yanmega Ex ensures this deck's continued relevance. Yanmega Ex offers consistent damage with Air Slash, while Exeggutor Ex holds the frontline. Erika's healing capabilities and the defensive Rocky Helmet further bolster this deck's resilience.

Pachirisu Ex

• Pachirisu Ex x2
• Mew Ex
• Zapdos Ex x2
• Cyrus
• Giovanni
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Rocky Helmet x2
• Giant Cape x2
• Lum Berry
• X Speed x2
• Potion x2

This deck focuses on maximizing Pachirisu Ex's potential with Pokemon Tools. With a Tool attached, Pachirisu Ex can deal 80 damage with just two Electric Energy, offering excellent value. Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet enhance its durability, while Potions ensure it remains a threat throughout the match. Zapdos Ex provides consistent attacking power while you set up your bench and draw key cards.
