Best Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Energy on Grass Pokemon, boosting Celebi Ex's coin-flip damage potential dramatically. 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 Dhelmise alternatives.

Key Cards: Snivy x2, Servine x2, Serperior x2, Celebi Ex x2, Dhelmise x2, Erika x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion x2, Sabrina x2

Scolipede Koga Bounce

This upgraded classic utilizes Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and enabling repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokemon movement, complementing Koga's strategy.

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, Poke Ball x2

Psychic Alakazam

Mew Ex provides early game tankiness and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew Ex retreat. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo, dealing increased damage based on attached Energy (including those boosted by Jungle Totem).

Key Cards: Mew Ex x2, Abra x2, Kadabra x2, Alakazam x2, Kangaskhan x2, Sabrina x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion, Budding Expeditioner

Pikachu Ex V2

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck receives a boost with Dedenne, offering early offense and Paralysis potential. Blue provides defensive support to compensate for Pikachu Ex's low HP. The core strategy remains consistent: bench-filling with Electric Pokemon for powerful Pikachu Ex attacks.

Key Cards: Pikachu Ex x2, Zapdos Ex x2, Blitzle x2, Zebstrika x2, Dedenne x2, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2, X Speed, Potion x2
