Space-Time Smackdown: Top Pokémon TCG Pocket Decks to Build First

The Pokémon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion dramatically alters the game's meta. Here are some of 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 powerful 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
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Great Cape x2

Dawn, a new Supporter card, lets you shift Energy between benched and active Pokémon. This is crucial in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Combined with Darkrai Ex's ability to inflict extra damage when Energy is moved, and Weavile Ex's damage boost against weakened Pokémon, this creates a potent offensive strategy. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide supplementary attacking power while building your bench.

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
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Giant Cape x2

Dialga Ex enhances consistency with Metallic Turbo, allowing rapid Energy attachment to benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros provide valuable counters, with Tauros benefiting significantly from Metallic Turbo.

Yanmega/Exeggutor

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

  • Exeggcute (GA) x2
  • Exeggutor Ex x2
  • Yanma x2
  • Yanmega Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Erika's Hospitality x2
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
  • Professor's Research x2

Yanmega Ex offers consistent attacks, while Exeggutor Ex serves as a frontline attacker. Erika's Hospitality provides crucial healing, and Rocky Helmet adds defensive resilience.

Pachirisu Ex

This deck focuses on maximizing Pachirisu Ex's abilities:

  • Pachirisu Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Zapdos Ex x2

  • Giovanni's Scheme
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Rocky Helmet x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Lum Berry
  • X Speed x2
  • Potion x2

The deck's streamlined Pokémon roster emphasizes Pachirisu Ex's potent attack with a Pokemon Tool, dealing 80 damage with only two Electric Energy. Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet improve its survivability, while Potions ensure longevity. Zapdos Ex provides reliable backup attacks.
