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

Metal Dialga ex
This deck features: 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 improves consistency by attaching two Metal Energy to benched Pokémon, accelerating the setup of Melmetal. Mew ex and Tauros, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo, act as effective counters. Their Colorless Energy requirements allow for rapid energy attachment while Dialga ex carries the offensive load.
Dialga ex/Yanmega ex Combo
This deck includes: 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 might excel in a Grass-type deck with Exeggutor ex, its synergy with Dialga ex is surprisingly effective. Yanmega ex's Air Slash, dealing 120 damage, can easily one-shot many opponents, despite the energy discard penalty. Dialga ex’s ability readily replenishes this lost energy. Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo makes it a versatile addition to nearly any Colorless deck. While Yanmega ex proves a strong partner, experimentation with other Colorless attackers like Pidgeot or Pidgeot ex is encouraged.
These are just two excellent starting points for building Dialga ex decks in *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. For more in-depth strategies and game information, be sure to check out The Escapist.
