Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi Ex. This boosts Celebi Ex's coin flip damage potential dramatically. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.

Decklist: 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 refined launch-day favorite utilizes the Mythical Island expansion's upgrades. The core strategy remains: Koga bounces Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat, deploying another Pokémon while preparing another Poison attack. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency with Poison Sting (20 damage + Poison). Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement in conjunction with Koga.

Decklist: 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's addition significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew Ex provides early-game tankiness with Psyshot and Genome Hacking, delaying opponents while setting up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew Ex's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).

Decklist: 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 remains strong post-Mythical Island. Dedenne's addition provides early-game offense and Paralysis potential. Pikachu Ex's low HP is mitigated by Blue, offering defensive support. The core strategy—filling the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleashing Pikachu Ex—remains unchanged.

Decklist: 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
