Despite its small size, Mythical Island delivers impactful cards capable of reshaping the Pokémon TCG Pocket landscape. From Mew Ex to Vaporeon, these cards create new deck archetypes and enhance existing strategies.

Mew Ex

This Basic Pokémon boasts 130 HP, a useful Psyshot attack (20 damage for 1 Psy Energy), and the game-changing Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy). Genome Hacking lets you copy one of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks, offering incredible versatility. Mew Ex fits seamlessly into existing Mewtwo Ex decks, Gardevoir strategies, or even Colorless-based builds.

Vaporeon

Vaporeon (120 HP) is a potential meta-defining card. Its Wash Out Ability lets you shift Water Energy between your Benched and Active Water Pokémon, making it a powerful addition to Misty-based decks already dominating the game. The 60-damage Wave Splash attack (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy) further enhances its offensive capabilities.

Tauros

Tauros (100 HP) shines against Ex decks. Its Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy) inflicts 40+ damage, boosted to 120 damage against an Ex Pokémon. While requiring setup, this attack is devastating, effectively countering popular Pikachu Ex and posing a significant threat to Charizard Ex.

Raichu

Raichu (120 HP) exacerbates the existing threat of Pikachu Ex/Zebstrika decks. Its Gigashock attack (3 Lightning Energy) deals 60 damage to the Active Pokémon and an additional 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This makes it particularly effective against strategies relying on building up a strong bench.

Blue

The new Trainer/Supporter card, Blue, provides crucial defense. During your opponent's next turn, all your Pokémon take 10 less damage from attacks. This is a valuable counter to strategies using Giovanni or Blaine to secure quick knockouts.
