Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi EX and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically increasing Celebi EX's attack potential via boosted 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 Dhelmise isn't available.

Suggested 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: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat and repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede boost Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, synergizing well with Koga.

Suggested 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. Mew EX provides early defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy (including those boosted by Jungle Totem).

Suggested 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 gains Dedenne, providing early offense and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's low HP. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX.

Suggested 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. Consult other resources for further strategies and game information.
