Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi EX and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on Grass Pokémon, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's damage potential via 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: Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and consistent Poison damage. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison application, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.

• 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 makes this deck more consistent. 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 counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo effectively due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's 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), Poké Ball (x2), X Speed (x2), Potion, Budding Expeditioner

Pikachu EX V2

The enduring Pikachu EX deck benefits from the addition of Dedenne, providing early offense and Paralysis potential. 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)
