Table of Contents

  • Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
  • Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo
  • Scolipede Koga Bounce
  • Psychic Alakazam
  • Pikachu Ex V2

Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Energy on Grass Pokémon, boosting Celebi Ex's coin-flip damage potential significantly. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable. This deck's vulnerability to Blaine decks should be considered.

  • 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 enhanced classic utilizes Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for free retreats and consistent Poison damage. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison application, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.

  • 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's inclusion strengthens this deck's consistency. Mew Ex provides early defense and offense, allowing time to set 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).

  • 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

Pikachu Ex V2 Deck

This enduring deck benefits from the addition of Dedenne, providing early offense and 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.

  • 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)

These are some of the best decks following the Mythical Island expansion. Consult other resources for further gameplay strategies and information.
