Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
Celebi EX and Serperior Combo
This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior setup. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's attack potential through increased coin flips. 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 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, while 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 provides a sturdy early-game presence and stalling capabilities 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 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 ever-reliable Pikachu EX deck remains strong, bolstered by Dedenne's early-game attack and Paralysis potential. Blue provides crucial defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's lower HP.
- 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
