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. Its ability to shift Energy from the Bench to the Active Pokémon synergizes powerfully with Darkrai Ex's damage-boosting ability (activated by Energy movement). Weavile Ex adds further damage to already weakened opponents. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide supplementary attacks during setup.

Metal Dialga Ex

This deck features:

  • 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 the previously struggling Metal-type archetype. Metallic Turbo allows rapid Energy attachment to Melmetal. Mew Ex and Tauros act as counters, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo's speed.

Yanmega/Exeggutor

This deck includes:

  • 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
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Rocky Helmet x2
  • Pokémon Communication

Exeggutor Ex remains a star, complemented by the consistent attacking power of Yanmega Ex. Erika's Hospitality provides crucial healing, while Rocky Helmet adds defensive resilience.

Pachirisu Ex

This decklist focuses on maximizing Pachirisu Ex's capabilities:

  • 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's streamlined Pokémon count emphasizes Pachirisu Ex's high damage output with attached Tools (Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet boost its survivability). Zapdos Ex offers reliable backup attacks.
