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 ability doubles Energy on Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's coin-flip-based attack damage. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While highly effective, 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
Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat and repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency with Poison Sting. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement in conjunction with 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 tankiness and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo effectively, as Psychic damage scales with the opponent's Pokémon's attached 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), Poké Ball (x2), X Speed (x2), Potion, Budding Expeditioner
Pikachu EX V2
The Pikachu EX deck remains potent post-Mythical Island. Dedenne provides early aggression and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to counter Pikachu EX's low HP. 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), Poké Ball (x2), X Speed, Potion (x2)
