Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi EX and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles the Energy count on Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's attack potential via increased coin flips. 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 you lack Dhelmise.

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

Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's ability bounces Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and setting up for another Poison attack. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga.

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 addition greatly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew EX provides early-game defense and strong attacks, buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo effectively due to its Psychic attack scaling with opponent's attached Energy, even considering Jungle Totem.

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

The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, offering early-game offense and Paralysis potential. Blue provides defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's low HP. The core strategy remains: 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 strongest decks in the Pokémon TCG Pocket Mythical Island meta. Check out The Escapist for more game tips and information.
