Since the days of the Genetic Apex expansion in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, Metal-type Pokémon like Meltan and Melmetal have faced challenges. They briefly saw a revival during the Mythical Island expansion, but it's the arrival of Dialga Ex that may finally elevate this archetype to competitive levels.
Dialga Ex brings a much-needed boost in consistency to this deck. With the Metallic Turbo ability, you can attach two Metal Energy to your Benched Pokémon, significantly speeding up the process of powering up Melmetal.
In addition, Mew Ex and Tauros serve as effective counters within this deck, also benefiting from Metallic Turbo. Mew Ex's Genome Hacking and Tauros's attacks require only Colorless Energy, allowing for quicker setup and attacks alongside Dialga Ex.

While Yanmega Ex shines in Grass-type decks, particularly alongside Exeggutor Ex, it forms a formidable partnership with Dialga Ex thanks to its Colorless Energy requirement. Yanmega Ex's Air Slash may not be flashy, but its 120 damage can one-shot many opponents. The drawback is the need to discard an Energy, yet Dialga Ex can quickly replenish it.
Dialga Ex's versatility extends beyond this combo, fitting seamlessly into most Colorless decks due to Metallic Turbo. While Yanmega Ex might be its ideal partner, exploring other strong Colorless decks like those featuring Pidgeot or Pidgeot Ex could yield intriguing results.
