| Card | Type | How To Get |

| Vaporeon (A1a 019) x2 | Water-type Pokemon | Mythical Island |
| Eevee (A1a 061) x2 | Normal-type Pokemon | Mythical Island |
| Staryu (A1 074) x1 | Water-type Pokemon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Starmie ex (A1 076) x1 | Water-type Pokemon | Genetic Apex – Charizard |
| Misty (A1 220) x2 | Supporter | Genetic Apex – Pikachu |

| Pokemon Communication (A2 146) x2 | Item | Space-Time Smackdown – Dialga |
Pokemon Communication, the sole card from the Dialga pack, is crucial. It's wise to trade in your Pack Points from Palkia boosters for these essential cards rather than relying on daily free pulls for just two copies of a 2-Diamond card, which cost only 70 Pack Points each. Focus on obtaining Palkia packs to complete your collection efficiently.
How To Use Manaphy, Vaporeon & Misty in the Best Palkia Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket
This deck leverages Palkia ex's formidable attack capabilities, supported by key Pokemon and Trainer cards to dominate your opponents. Palkia ex's Dimensional Storm is a powerful move, though energy-intensive, while its Slash provides consistent damage output as you prepare for the big hit.
Manaphy and Vaporeon are central to the deck's strategy. Manaphy's Oceanic Gift allows you to move Water Energy to your benched Pokemon, setting up for Vaporeon's Wash Out to transfer energy as needed for Palkia ex. Misty's luck-based ability can stack Palkia with sufficient Water Energy for multiple Dimensional Storm uses, potentially achieving a one-hit KO each turn and securing all three points swiftly.
Cyrus adds strategic depth by dealing damage to benched Pokemon with Dimensional Rift, enhancing your chances for victory.
