Metal Dialga Ex

If you've been following *Pokemon TCG Pocket* since the Genetic Apex era, you know that Metal-type Pokémon like Meltan and Melmetal have had their ups and downs. They made a brief comeback during Mythical Island, and with Dialga Ex's arrival, they're poised for a strong competitive showing.

Here's what you'll need for your Metal Dialga Ex deck:

• 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

Dialga Ex brings much-needed consistency to this deck. Its Metallic Turbo ability lets you attach two Metal Energy to your Benched Pokémon, speeding up your transition to Melmetal. Mew Ex and Tauros serve as effective counters, benefiting from the same Metallic Turbo, allowing you to power them up quickly with Colorless Energy while Dialga Ex handles the heavy lifting.

Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo

For those looking to explore a different dynamic, the Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo could be your go-to strategy. Here's the decklist:

• 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 I typically favor Yanmega Ex in a Grass-type deck with Exeggutor Ex, its synergy with Dialga Ex is undeniable, particularly thanks to its Colorless Energy requirement. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash might not be flashy, but it packs a punch with 120 damage, capable of one-shotting many opponents. The downside is the Energy discard, but Dialga Ex can swiftly rebuild that.

It's worth noting that Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo makes it a versatile addition to any Colorless deck. While Yanmega Ex might be its best partner, experimenting with other Colorless powerhouses like Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex could yield interesting results.
