Best Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

• 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

The Celebi Ex deck is a fan favorite, and for good reason. The strategy revolves around getting Serperior into play as quickly as possible to utilize its Jungle Totem ability, which doubles the Energy count on all your Grass-type Pokémon, including Celebi Ex. This enhancement allows Celebi Ex to perform double the number of coin flips, significantly boosting its damage output. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While this deck can become a dominant force in Pokemon TCG Pocket, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. If you're missing Dhelmise, consider using Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex from the Mythical Island expansion as substitutes.

Scolipede Koga Bounce

• Venipede x2
• Whirlipede x2
• Scolipede x2
• Koffing (Mythical Island) x2
• Weezing x2
• Mew Ex
• Koga x2
• Sabrina x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poke Ball x2

The Koga Bounce deck, a favorite since the launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket, has been further enhanced by the Mythical Island expansion. The core strategy remains unchanged: use Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, allowing for a free retreat and the opportunity to set up another Pokémon in the Active spot. This maneuver not only keeps your opponent guessing but also sets up Weezing for another round of Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance the consistency of the Poison status effect with their Poison Sting attack, which deals 20 damage and inflicts Poison. The addition of Leaf makes it easier to maneuver your Pokémon, complementing Koga's strategy.

Psychic Alakazam

• 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

The inclusion of Mew Ex has made the Alakazam deck more viable and consistent. Starting with Mew Ex provides a durable Pokémon to absorb early hits, equipped with Psyshot for basic attacks and Genome Hacking to deter opponents from using strong attackers. This setup buys you time to prepare Alakazam on the bench, with Budding Expeditioner facilitating Mew Ex's retreat when you're ready to switch. Notably, Alakazam can counter the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively, as its Psychic attack deals increased damage based on the Energy attached to your opponent's Pokémon, including those affected by Jungle Totem.

Pikachu Ex V2

• 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

The Pikachu Ex deck has long been a dominant force in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta, and it remains strong even after the Mythical Island expansion. The key new addition is Dedenne, which serves as an effective initial attacker and can inflict Paralysis on your opponent's Pokémon based on a coin flip. While Pikachu Ex has a relatively low HP for an Ex Pokémon, Blue can provide necessary defensive support. The strategy remains to fill your bench with Electric-type Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex's full potential.
