- 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. This dramatically increases Celebi Ex's coin flip-based attack damage. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While powerful, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.
Key Cards: Snivy, Servine, Serperior, Celebi Ex, Dhelmise, Erika, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Sabrina.
Scolipede Koga Bounce
Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and allows for repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing Koga's strategy.
Key Cards: Venipede, Whirlepede, Scolipede, Koffing (Mythical Island), Weezing, Mew Ex, Koga, Sabrina, Leaf, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball.
Psychic Alakazam
Mew Ex's inclusion significantly improves this deck's consistency. Mew Ex provides early defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing for Alakazam setup. Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew Ex's retreat. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo, as Psychic damage scales with the opponent's attached Energy, even factoring in Jungle Totem.
Key Cards: Mew Ex, Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Kangaskhan, Sabrina, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Budding Expeditioner.
Pikachu Ex V2
The Pikachu Ex deck remains strong post-Mythical Island. Dedenne's addition provides early offense and Paralysis potential. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu Ex's relatively low HP. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex's attacks.
Key Cards: Pikachu Ex, Zapdos Ex, Blitzle, Zebstrika, Dedenne, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion.
These are some of the strongest decks in the Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island meta. For more in-depth strategies and game information, be sure to check out The Escapist.
