Palkia ex is currently one of the strongest cards in the meta, and can one hit KO other ex cards once it has the energy for Dimensional Storm. It is the highlight card for the Palkia ex Deck, so you would want to aim for 2 card copies if you want to build this deck.

Cyrus and Rocky Helmet are must pulls as they can be generally used to enhance many decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
Cyrus is a strong trainer card that rivals Sabrina in the Palkia Booster Pack. Similar to Sabrina, he can force the Active Pokemon to switch out with a damaged Pokemon on the Bench.
Rocky Helmet is a Pokemon Tool that you can attach to your Pokemon that will damage your opponent's Pokemon by 20 HP if they try to attack.

After pulling 2 copies of Cyrus and Rocky Helmet, you would want to start pulling from the Dialga Pack. You would want to aim for the following cards:
These are great cards to have if you want to improve your deck.
The Giant Cape increases your Pokemon's HP by 20, which is great for survivability;
Dawn can transfer energy from the Bench to the Active Pokemon just like Vaporeon;
and Pokemon Communication can exchange a Pokemon from your hand to a random Pokemon in your deck.
