Table of Contents
- Best Decks in Pokémon 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, boosting Celebi Ex's coin-flip damage potential. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While potent, this deck is 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, Poké Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion x2, Sabrina x2
Scolipede Koga Bounce
Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's bounce effect returns Weezing to your hand for free retreats and repeated Poison attacks. 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, Poké Ball x2
Psychic Alakazam
Mew Ex's addition significantly improves this deck's consistency. Mew Ex provides early defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew Ex's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo due to Psychic's Energy-based damage scaling, even with Jungle Totem.
- 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
Pikachu Ex remains a strong contender. Dedenne's addition provides early offense and Paralysis potential. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu Ex's low HP. The core strategy remains: fill 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
