Best Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Grass Pokémon Energy, massively boosting Celebi Ex's coin-flip damage potential. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable Dhelmise substitutes.

• Key Cards: Snivy, Servine, Serperior, Celebi Ex, Dhelmise, Erika, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Sabrina.

Scolipede Koga Bounce

Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga bounces Weezing, providing free retreats and consistent Poison damage via Scolipede's Poison Sting. Whirlipede aids Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.

• Key Cards: Venipede, Whirlepede, Scolipede, Koffing (Mythical Island), Weezing, Mew Ex, Koga, Sabrina, Leaf, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball.

Psychic Alakazam

Mew Ex's addition strengthens this deck's consistency. Mew Ex provides early defense and offensive options (Psyshot, Genome Hacking), allowing time for Alakazam setup. Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew Ex retreats. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo due to its Psychic attack scaling with opponent's Energy, even factoring in Jungle Totem.

• Key Cards: Mew Ex, Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Kangaskhan, Sabrina, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Budding Expeditioner.

Pikachu Ex V2

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck receives a boost from Dedenne, offering early attacks and Paralysis potential. Blue provides defensive support to compensate for Pikachu Ex's lower HP. The core strategy remains the same: bench Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex.

• Key Cards: Pikachu Ex, Zapdos Ex, Blitzle, Zebstrika, Dedenne, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion.
