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

The Pokémon 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:

  • 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, is key. It allows Energy shifting from the Bench to your Active Pokémon, a crucial element in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Combined with Darkrai Ex's ability to inflict extra damage when Energy is moved, and Weavile Ex's damage boost on weakened Pokémon, this creates a potent synergy. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide reliable early-game attacks.

Metal Dialga Ex

This deck features:

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

Dialga Ex enhances the previously struggling Metal-type archetype. Its Metallic Turbo ability rapidly attaches Metal Energy to Benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros offer strategic counters, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo.

Yanmega/Exeggutor

This deck includes:

  • Exeggcute (GA) x2
  • Exeggutor Ex x2
  • Yanma x2
  • Yanmega Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Erika's Hospitality x2
  • Leaf x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Rocky Helmet x2
  • Pokémon Communication

Building on Exeggutor Ex's strength, Yanmega Ex provides consistent attacks. Air Slash's 120 damage is substantial, while Exeggutor Ex serves as a frontline attacker. Erika's Hospitality offers significant healing, complemented by the defensive Rocky Helmet.

Pachirisu Ex

This decklist prioritizes maximizing Pachirisu Ex's potential:

  • Pachirisu Ex x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Zapdos Ex x2
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy
  • 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 focuses on Pachirisu Ex's ability to deal 80 damage with a Pokémon Tool attached. Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet increase its durability, while Potions provide sustain. Zapdos Ex offers reliable backup attacks.
