Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi EX and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all 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 powerful, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.

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 deck, enhanced by Mythical Island, retains its core strategy: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for free retreats and repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency. 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), Poké Ball (x2)

Psychic Alakazam

Mew EX provides early-game resilience and stalling power with Psyshot and Genome Hacking, allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo effectively due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).

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 V2 Deck

The enduring Pikachu EX deck gains Dedenne, providing an early attacker and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's low HP. The core strategy remains consistent: bench-filling 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), Poké Ball (x2), X Speed, Potion (x2)
