• Best Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
• Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo
• Scolipede Koga Bounce
• Psychic Alakazam
• Pikachu Ex V2

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 through 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.

• Key Cards: Snivy, Servine, Serperior, Celebi Ex, Dhelmise, Erika, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Sabrina.

Scolipede Koga Bounce

Enhanced by the Mythical Island expansion, 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 improve Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga's abilities.

• Key Cards: Venipede, Whirlepede, Scolipede, Koffing (Mythical Island), Weezing, Mew Ex, Koga, Sabrina, Leaf, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball.

Psychic Alakazam

The addition of Mew Ex significantly improves this deck's consistency and viability. Mew Ex provides early-game defense and strong attacks, allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner facilitates 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).

• Key Cards: Mew Ex, Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Kangaskhan, Sabrina, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Budding Expeditioner.

Pikachu Ex V2

Even after Mythical Island, Pikachu Ex remains a strong contender. Dedenne is a valuable addition, providing early-game offense and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to compensate for Pikachu Ex's relatively low HP. The core strategy remains: filling the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleashing Pikachu Ex's attacks.

• Key Cards: Pikachu Ex, Zapdos Ex, Blitzle, Zebstrika, Dedenne, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion.
