Metal Dialga Ex
If you're looking to harness the power of Dialga Ex in a metal-centric deck, here's a solid list to get you started:
- 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
Historically, Meltan and Melmetal along with other Metal-type Pokemon have faced challenges in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. While they experienced a minor resurgence during the Mythical Island expansion, the introduction of Dialga Ex could be the turning point for this archetype's competitiveness.
Dialga Ex brings a new level of consistency to the deck with its Metallic Turbo ability, allowing you to attach two Metal Energies to your Benched Pokemon, speeding up the evolution to Melmetal. The inclusion of Mew Ex and Tauros as counters benefits from Metallic Turbo, as both require only Colorless Energy, enabling quicker setups while attacking with Dialga Ex.
Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo
For those interested in a Colorless deck featuring Dialga Ex, consider this combo with Yanmega Ex:
- Dialga Ex x2
- Yanma x2
- Yanmega Ex x2
- Tauros
- Mew Ex
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Pokemon Communication x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Dawn x2
- Leaf x2
While Yanmega Ex typically thrives in a Grass-type deck alongside Exeggutor Ex, it proves to be a formidable partner with Dialga Ex, especially given its Colorless Energy requirement. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash deals a solid 120 damage, capable of one-shotting many opponents, though it does require discarding an Energy. Fortunately, Dialga Ex's ability to ramp up Energy quickly mitigates this drawback.
Dialga Ex's versatility with Metallic Turbo suggests it could fit well into other Colorless decks. Experimenting with strong options like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex could be worthwhile to find the best synergy.
