Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi EX and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's attack potential via increased coin flips. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While potent, 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

This deck, enhanced by Mythical Island, retains its core strategy: Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and allows for strategic Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing Koga's strategy.

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 provides early-game resilience and strong attacks, allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo, dealing increased damage based on the 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 receives a boost from Dedenne, providing early aggression and potential Paralysis. 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's attacks.

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)
