The core strategy revolves around Dialga EX, which acts as both a defensive wall and an energy engine. Dialga EX’s attack allows it to attach two Metal Energy from your hand to one of your benched Pokemon. While seemingly tailored for Metal-type attackers, this deck cleverly utilizes Dialga EX to power up Mew EX and Tauros.

Mew EX’s Genome Hacking allows it to essentially copy any attack from your opponent’s active Pokemon. Genome Hacking doesn’t require specific energy types, making Mew EX flexible in terms of deck construction. It can fit into decks that focus on different energy types, as seen in this Dialga EX deck which utilizes Colorless Energy.

Dialga EX is your primary focus, so cards like Pokemon Communication help you search for it reliably. Rocky Helmet provides early-game defense, punishing basic Pokemon that attack your active Dialga EX.

Giant Cape further enhances Dialga EX’s survivability, making it difficult to knock out, even against powerful attackers like Mewtwo.

Mew EX and Tauros are included as versatile attackers that benefit from Dialga EX’s energy acceleration. Although they don’t require Metal Energy, their attacks can be powered up quickly thanks to Dialga EX.

Supporting Trainer cards like Professor’s Research help you draw cards and find the resources you need, while cards like Leaf and Sabrina offer strategic advantages, such as retreating Dialga EX or securing a final knockout.

The ideal game plan is to start with Dialga EX in the active spot, equipped with a Rocky Helmet. Mew EX should be on your bench, ready to receive energy from Dialga EX.

By using Dialga EX’s attack to accelerate energy onto Mew EX or Tauros, you can quickly prepare them to attack. This strategy allows you to apply pressure on your opponent while maintaining a strong defensive presence with Dialga EX.

While this Dialga EX deck focuses on non-Metal attackers, you can swap out some Trainer cards for Metal-type Pokemon like Meltan and Melmetal if you prefer a more Metal-centric approach.
