The Pokemon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion significantly alters the meta. Here are the best decks to prioritize building:

Table of Contents

• Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex
• Metal Dialga Ex
• Yanmega/Exeggutor
• Pachirisu Ex

Darkrai Ex/Weavile Ex

This deck utilizes a potent synergy. Key cards include:

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

Dawn, a new Supporter card, allows Energy shifting between Benched and Active Pokemon. This is crucial, especially with Darkrai Ex, whose attack deals extra damage when Energy is moved. Weavile Ex further amplifies damage against already weakened opponents. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide supplementary attacks during setup.

Metal Dialga Ex

This deck revitalizes the Metal-type archetype:

• Meltan x2
• Melmetal x2
• Dialga Ex x2
• Mew Ex
• Heatran
• Tauros
• Dawn
• Giovanni's Scheme x2
• Energy x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Giant Cape x2

Dialga Ex's "Metallic Turbo" ability efficiently attaches Metal Energy, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros serve as valuable counters, also benefiting from "Metallic Turbo".

Yanmega/Exeggutor

This Grass-type deck builds on Exeggutor Ex's strength:

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

Yanmega Ex offers consistent attacks, complementing Exeggutor Ex as a frontline attacker. Erika's Hospitality provides crucial healing, while Rocky Helmet enhances defense.

Pachirisu Ex

This deck maximizes Pachirisu Ex's Pokemon Tool synergy:

• Pachirisu Ex x2
• Mew Ex
• Zapdos Ex x2
• Cyrus's Conspiracy
• Giovanni's Scheme
• Professor's Research x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Rocky Helmet x2
• Giant Cape x2

• Potion x2

Pachirisu Ex, with a Pokemon Tool attached, deals significant damage with minimal Energy. Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet boost its durability, while Potions ensure longevity. Zapdos Ex provides reliable backup attacks.
