Table of Contents

  • Best Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
  • Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo
  • Scolipede Koga Bounce
  • Psychic Alakazam
  • Pikachu Ex V2

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Energy on Grass Pokémon, including Celebi Ex, dramatically boosting Celebi's attack potential via increased coin flips. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While potent, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable Dhelmise substitutes.

  • 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

This enhanced launch favorite utilizes Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and strategic repositioning while maintaining Poison pressure. Whirlipede and Scolipede bolster Poison consistency, and Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga.

  • 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

Mew Ex's inclusion significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew Ex provides early defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew Ex's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters Celebi Ex/Serperior, as Psychic damage scales with opponent's attached Energy, even considering 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

Pikachu Ex V2 Deck

This enduring meta-favorite benefits from the addition of Dedenne, providing early offense and potential Paralysis. Pikachu Ex's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains: bench Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex.

  • 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)

These strategies offer a strong foundation for navigating the Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island meta. For further insights and game information, consult additional resources.
