Table of Contents

  • Best Decks in Pokémon 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 rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on Grass Pokémon, massively boosting Celebi EX's damage potential through 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 Dhelmise is unavailable.

Scolipede Koga Bounce

This refined launch deck utilizes Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and enabling repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing Koga's strategy.

Psychic Alakazam

Mew EX provides early game resilience and strong attacks, buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo, dealing increased damage based on the opponent's attached Energy (including those boosted by Jungle Totem).

Pikachu EX V2

Pikachu EX V2 Deck

The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, offering early aggression and potential Paralysis. Pikachu EX's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX's power.

These are some of the strongest deck builds in the Pokémon TCG Pocket Mythical Island meta. For further game insights and strategies, check out The Escapist.
