Top Mythical Island Cards: Mew Ex, Vaporeon, Tauros, Raichu, and Blue
Despite its compact size, Mythical Island offers several game-changing cards. Mew Ex, Vaporeon, and others can reshape the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta, either creating new strategies or bolstering existing ones. Let's examine each standout card.
Mew Ex
130 HP Psyshot (1 Psy Energy): 20 damage. Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose 1 of your opponent’s Active Pokémon’s attacks and use it as this attack.
Mew Ex is a Basic Pokémon with impressive HP, a serviceable basic attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking. Its versatility makes it a strong addition to existing Mewtwo Ex decks alongside Gardevoir, or even within Colorless-based strategies.
Vaporeon
120 HP Wash Out (Ability): As often as you like during your turn, you may move a Water Energy from 1 of your Benched Water Pokémon to your Active Water Pokémon. Wave Splash (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy): 60 damage.
Vaporeon's Wash Out ability is potentially meta-defining, especially against prevalent Misty decks. The ability to freely shift Water Energy significantly enhances the power and consistency of Water-type strategies.
Tauros
100 HP Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy): If your opponent’s Active Pokémon is a Pokémon Ex, this attack does 80 more damage. 40+ damage.
While requiring setup, Tauros's Fighting Tackle delivers devastating blows against Ex Pokémon. Dealing 120 damage to an Ex Pokémon is a significant advantage, making it particularly effective against Pikachu Ex decks. Even against resilient Pokémon like Charizard Ex, it poses a considerable threat.
Raichu
120 HP Gigashock (3 Lightning Energy): This attack also does 20 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon. 60 damage.
Raichu complements existing Pikachu Ex/Zebstrika decks, further punishing strategies that rely on slowly building up Benched Pokémon. The additional 20 damage to all Benched Pokémon significantly accelerates victory conditions, particularly within Surge-based decks.
Blue (Trainer/Supporter)
During your opponent’s next turn, all of your Pokémon take -10 damage from attacks from your opponent’s Pokémon.
Blue provides crucial defensive support, countering the aggressive strategies often employed by Blaine and Giovanni decks. His ability to mitigate damage can disrupt opponents' plans for quick knockouts.
