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 is a fan favorite, and for good reason. Your primary goal is to get Serperior into play as quickly as possible to utilize its Jungle Totem ability, which doubles the Energy count on all your Grass Pokemon, including Celebi Ex. This allows Celebi Ex to perform double the number of coin flips, significantly boosting its damage potential. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. This deck is poised to be one of the most popular in Pokemon TCG Pocket, though it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. If you don't have Dhelmise, consider using the Mythical Island Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex as alternatives.

Scolipede Koga Bounce

• Venipede x2
• Whirlepede 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 was a standout deck at the launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket, and the Mythical Island expansion has enhanced it further. The core strategy remains the same: use Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, allowing for a free retreat and another chance to set up a Poison attack. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance the consistency of the Poison status effect with their Poison Sting attack. Additionally, Leaf facilitates easier movement of your Pokemon, complementing Koga's abilities.

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. Starting with Mew Ex provides a durable frontline with Psyshot and Genome Hacking, deterring opponents from using their strongest attackers. This buys time to set up Alakazam on the bench, with Budding Expeditioner aiding in retreating Mew Ex when ready. Notably, Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo by dealing increased damage based on the Energy attached to the 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

The Pikachu Ex deck has long dominated the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta, and it remains strong post-Mythical Island. The inclusion of Dedenne as a starting attacker adds value by potentially paralyzing the opponent's Pokemon with a coin flip. While Pikachu Ex typically has a lower HP pool for an Ex Pokemon, Blue helps bolster its defense. The strategy remains straightforward: populate your bench with Electric Pokemon and unleash Pikachu Ex's full potential.
