Mythical Island offers exciting new cards capable of reshaping the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta or bolstering existing strategies. Let's examine each standout card:

Mew Ex

• HP: 130
• Psyshot (1 Psy Energy): 20 damage.
• Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose one of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks and use it as this attack.

Mew Ex, a Basic Pokémon, boasts high HP, a serviceable initial attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking. Its versatility allows integration into existing Mewtwo Ex decks alongside Gardevoir or even Colorless strategies.

Vaporeon

• HP: 120
• Wash Out (Ability): Move a Water Energy from a Benched Water Pokémon to your Active Water Pokémon as often as desired during your turn.
• Wave Splash (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy): 60 damage.

Vaporeon's ability to manipulate Water Energy significantly enhances Water-type decks, potentially exacerbating the dominance of Misty-based strategies. Its energy manipulation makes Water decks even more powerful.

Tauros

• HP: 100
• Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy): Deals 80 additional damage if the opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon Ex. Base damage: 40.

Tauros, while requiring setup, delivers devastating damage against Pokémon Ex. Its potential to inflict 120 damage on Pokémon Ex makes it a significant threat to prevalent decks like Pikachu Ex.

Raichu

• HP: 120
• Gigashock (3 Lightning Energy): 60 damage plus 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.

Raichu further strengthens existing Pikachu Ex/Zebstrika decks by punishing strategies relying on Benched Pokémon development. The added 20 damage to each Benched Pokémon is a significant advantage, especially in Surge-based decks.

Blue (Trainer/Supporter)

• Effect: During your opponent's next turn, all your Pokémon take 10 less damage from your opponent's Pokémon attacks.

Blue provides crucial defense against powerful attacks, countering the effectiveness of cards like Blaine and Giovanni commonly used in Ex decks. Its timely use can disrupt opponent strategies heavily reliant on quick knockouts.

These cards represent the most impactful additions from the Mythical Island expansion. For further Pokémon TCG Pocket strategies and troubleshooting (including Error 102 solutions), consult additional resources.
