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 well-known powerhouse in Pokemon TCG Pocket. The strategy revolves around getting 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 ability significantly boosts Celebi Ex's coin flip damage potential, making it a formidable attacker. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. This deck is poised to be a favorite, though it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. If you're missing Dhelmise, consider using Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex from the Mythical Island expansion 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
The Koga Bounce deck, a favorite since the launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket, has been enhanced by the Mythical Island expansion. The core strategy remains unchanged: use Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, allowing for a free retreat and setting up another Pokemon in the Active spot. This tactic not only keeps your opponent guessing but also sets up Weezing for another round of Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance the consistency of Poison effects with their Poison Sting attack. The addition of Leaf makes it easier to maneuver 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 inclusion of Mew Ex has revitalized the Alakazam deck, making it more viable and consistent. Starting with Mew Ex provides a sturdy defender from the outset, equipped with Psyshot for basic attacks and Genome Hacking to deter opponents from using strong attackers. This setup buys you time to prepare Alakazam on the bench, with Budding Expeditioner facilitating Mew Ex's retreat when ready. Notably, Alakazam can counter the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively, as its Psychic attack deals increased damage based on the Energy attached to 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
The Pikachu Ex deck has long been a dominant force in Pokemon TCG Pocket, and it remains strong even after the Mythical Island expansion. The addition of Dedenne is a game-changer, serving as an effective initial attacker and potentially inflicting Paralysis on your opponent's Pokemon via a coin flip. While Pikachu Ex has a relatively low HP for an Ex Pokemon, Blue can bolster its defense. The strategy remains to fill your bench with Electric Pokemon and unleash Pikachu Ex's full potential.
