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 has become a fan favorite, and for good reason. Your primary strategy here is to evolve to Serperior as quickly as possible to utilize its Jungle Totem ability, which doubles the Energy count on all your Grass Pokemon, including Celebi Ex. This effectively doubles the coin flips Celebi Ex can make, significantly boosting its damage output. Dhelmise acts as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While this deck has the potential to dominate the meta, be cautious of its vulnerability to Blaine decks. If you're missing Dhelmise, consider using Mythical Island's Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex as substitutes.

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

Koga Bounce has been a favorite since the launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket, and the Mythical Island expansion has only made it better. The core strategy remains unchanged: use Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, allowing you to retreat freely and set up another Poison attack. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance the consistency of your Poison strategy with Poison Sting, a 20 damage attack that also inflicts Poison. Leaf further complements your strategy by making it easier to maneuver your Pokemon with Koga.

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 addition of Mew Ex has made the Alakazam deck more viable and consistent. Start with Mew Ex to benefit from its tanky nature and versatile attacks like Psyshot and Genome Hacking, which can deter your opponent's aggressive moves. This setup buys you time to evolve to Alakazam on the bench, and Budding Expeditioner facilitates retreating Mew Ex when ready. Notably, Alakazam can counter the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively, as Psychic's damage increases with the Energy on your opponent's Pokemon, including those affected by Jungle Totem.

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 strong post-Mythical Island. The introduction of Dedenne adds a new layer to your strategy, serving as an initial attacker and potentially paralyzing your opponent's Pokemon based on a coin flip. While Pikachu Ex's lower HP pool for an Ex Pokemon can be a concern, Blue helps bolster its defenses. Your main game plan stays the same: fill your bench with Electric Pokemon and let Pikachu Ex unleash its full potential.
