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

The Pokemon 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 features:

  • Honchkrow x2
  • Darkrai Ex x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Cyrus's Conspiracy x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Great Cape x2

The key card is Dawn, a new Supporter allowing Energy transfer between Benched and Active Pokemon. Combined with Darkrai Ex's damage boost after Energy movement, and Weavile Ex's damage amplification against weakened Pokemon, this creates a potent synergy. Murkrow and Honchkrow provide supplementary attacking options while building your bench.

  • Dawn
  • Giovanni's Scheme x2
  • Leaf x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • Giant Cape x2

Dialga Ex enhances the Metal-type archetype's consistency. Metallic Turbo allows rapid Energy attachment to Benched Pokemon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros act as counters, with Tauros benefiting from Metallic Turbo.
