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 that leverages the power of Serperior's Jungle Totem ability. This ability doubles the Energy count on all your Grass Pokemon, including Celebi Ex, allowing for an explosive increase in damage potential through multiple coin flips. Dhelmise acts as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While this deck can dominate, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. If you're missing Dhelmise, consider using Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex from the Mythical Island expansion as alternatives.

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 remains a thrilling choice post-Mythical Island. The core strategy revolves around using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, enabling a free retreat and setting up another Poison attack. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance the consistency of Poison effects with their Poison Sting attack. The addition of Leaf simplifies moving your Pokemon around, making the deck more dynamic and adaptable.

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 significantly boosts the viability of the Alakazam deck. Starting with Mew Ex provides a durable frontline and the ability to use Psyshot and Genome Hacking, deterring your opponent from using high-damage Pokemon. This setup gives you ample time to prepare Alakazam on the bench. Budding Expeditioner aids in retreating Mew Ex when you're ready to unleash Alakazam. Notably, Alakazam can counter the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively, as Psychic deals more damage based on the Energy attached to your opponent's Pokemon.

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

Pikachu Ex has long been a dominant force in the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta, and it remains formidable even after the Mythical Island expansion. The addition of Dedenne provides a strong initial attacker and can inflict Paralysis through a coin flip. While Pikachu Ex's lower HP can be a drawback, Blue helps bolster its defenses. The strategy remains straightforward: fill your bench with Electric Pokemon and let Pikachu Ex wreak havoc.
