Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi Ex. This dramatically boosts Celebi Ex's coin flip-based 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 alternatives if Dhelmise isn't available.

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

Scolipede Koga Bounce

This upgraded classic relies on Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat and strategic repositioning. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance the Poison effect, making Poison Sting a consistent 20-damage attack with added Poison status. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga's strategy.

• 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, Poké Ball x2

Psychic Alakazam

Mew Ex provides a sturdy early-game presence, offering Psyshot and Genome Hacking to disrupt opponent strategies. This buys time to set up Alakazam, further aided by Budding Expeditioner for Mew Ex retreats. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent Energy.

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

Pikachu Ex V2

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck receives a boost with Dedenne, providing an early attacker and a chance to inflict Paralysis. Pikachu Ex's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains the same: populate the bench with 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, Poké Ball x2, X Speed, Potion x2
