Table of Contents

  • Best Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
  • Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo
  • Scolipede Koga Bounce
  • Psychic Alakazam
  • Pikachu Ex V2

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon (including Celebi Ex), dramatically increasing Celebi Ex's attack potential through boosted coin flips. Dhelmise serves as a strong secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While highly effective, it's 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, Poke Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion x2, Sabrina x2

Scolipede Koga Bounce

This enhanced classic utilizes Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and strategic repositioning while maintaining Poison pressure. Whirlipede and Scolipede bolster consistent Poison application, and Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement in conjunction with Koga.

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's inclusion significantly improves Alakazam's consistency. 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. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively, as Psychic damage scales with the opponent's attached Energy, even factoring in 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

Pikachu Ex V2 Deck

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck remains competitive, enhanced by Dedenne. Dedenne serves as an early attacker and offers Paralysis potential. Blue mitigates Pikachu Ex's low HP, while the core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex's power.

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
