Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
Celebi EX and Serperior Combo
This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles the Energy count on Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's coin-flip-based attack damage. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While potent, this deck is 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 the Mythical Island expansion, 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 increase Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside 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 inclusion strengthens this deck. 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-dependent damage.
- 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 early offense and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's low HP. The core strategy remains the same: 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)
