This powerhouse lineup includes two copies of the legendary Palkia ex, complemented by key combo cards like Manaphy, Misty, and Vaporeon. Here's a detailed breakdown of the decklist and how to acquire each card:

Pokemon Communication, sourced from the Dialga pack, is the only card not from the Palkia set in this decklist. It's advisable to use your Pack Points, earned from Palkia booster packs, to acquire these essential cards rather than relying on daily free pulls, especially since they cost only 70 Pack Points each.
How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
This deck leverages Palkia ex's ability to deliver swift, powerful attacks, supported by strategic Pokemon and Trainer cards to overpower opponents. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm requires significant Energy, but its Slash move provides a reliable alternative for continuous damage.
Manaphy and Vaporeon serve as the deck's core support system. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift transfers Water Energy to benched Pokemon, while Vaporeon's Wash Out ability moves the Energy to Palkia ex when needed. Misty's cards offer a chance to stack Palkia ex with enough Water Energy for multiple uses of Dimensional Storm, potentially enabling you to knock out an opponent's Pokemon each turn and secure victory in just a few rounds.
Cyrus enhances the strategy with Dimensional Rift, allowing you to deal damage to benched Pokemon, adding another layer of tactical advantage.
