Best Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi Ex and Serperior Strategy

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment, leveraging its Jungle Totem ability to double Grass Pokémon energy. This energy boost dramatically increases Celebi Ex's attack potential through amplified coin flips. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from the Jungle Totem bonus. While highly effective, this deck shows vulnerability to Blaine-based strategies. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable alternatives to Dhelmise if unavailable.

Key Cards: Snivy (x2), Servine (x2), Serperior (x2), Celebi Ex (x2), Dhelmise (x2), Erika (x2), Professor’s Research (x2), Poke Ball (x2), X Speed (x2), Potion (x2), Sabrina (x2)

Scolipede Koga Bounce Deck

This refined launch deck benefits from Mythical Island additions. The core strategy remains: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for repeated Poison attacks, while Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing Koga's abilities.

Key Cards: Venipede (x2), Whirlepede (x2), Scolipede (x2), Koffing (Mythical Island) (x2), Weezing (x2), Mew Ex, Koga (x2), Sabrina (x2), Leaf (x2), Professor’s Research (x2), Poke Ball (x2)

Psychic Alakazam Deck

Mew Ex's inclusion enhances the Alakazam deck's consistency. Mew Ex provides early defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew Ex's retreat. This deck excels against Celebi Ex/Serperior, as Psychic damage scales with opponent's Pokémon energy, even factoring in Jungle Totem.

Key Cards: Mew Ex (x2), Abra (x2), Kadabra (x2), Alakazam (x2), Kangaskhan (x2), Sabrina (x2), Professor’s Research (x2), Poke Ball (x2), X Speed (x2), Potion, Budding Expeditioner

Pikachu Ex V2 Deck

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck gains Dedenne, providing early offense and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu Ex's lower HP. The core strategy remains: filling the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleashing Pikachu Ex's attacks.

Key Cards: Pikachu Ex (x2), Zapdos Ex (x2), Blitzle (x2), Zebstrika (x2), Dedenne (x2), Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research (x2), Poke Ball (x2), X Speed, Potion (x2)
