Dialga Ex shines in the Pokemon TCG Pocket Space-Time Smackdown expansion, boasting its own powerful deck archetypes. Here's a look at two top-tier Dialga Ex deck builds:

- Metal Dialga Ex
- Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo
Metal Dialga Ex
This deck leverages Dialga Ex's synergy with Metal-type Pokémon, addressing past weaknesses.
- Meltan x2
- Melmetal x2
- Dialga Ex x2
- Mew Ex
- Heatran
- Tauros
- Dawn x2
- Giovanni x2
- Leaf x2
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Giant Cape x2
Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo ability significantly boosts consistency by attaching two Metal Energy to benched Pokémon, accelerating Melmetal's deployment. Mew Ex and Tauros, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo due to their Colorless Energy requirements, serve as effective counters. This allows for faster setup while Dialga Ex carries the main offensive load.
Dialga Ex/Yanmega Ex Combo
This deck pairs Dialga Ex with Yanmega Ex, creating a surprisingly effective Colorless-based strategy.
- Dialga Ex x2
- Yanma x2
- Yanmega Ex x2
- Tauros
- Mew Ex
- Professor’s Research x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Pokemon Communication x2
- Giant Cape x2
- Dawn x2
- Leaf x2
Yanmega Ex's Air Slash, dealing 120 damage, can quickly eliminate many opponents. The Energy discard drawback is mitigated by Dialga Ex's energy-generating ability. While Yanmega Ex is a strong partner, Dialga Ex's Metallic Turbo makes it adaptable to other Colorless decks, such as those featuring Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex. Experimentation is encouraged.
