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 Grass Pokémon Energy, including Celebi EX, massively boosting Celebi's attack potential through increased coin flips. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While powerful, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise isn't available.
- Pokémon: Snivy x2, Servine x2, Serperior x2, Celebi EX x2, Dhelmise x2
- Trainers: Erika x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion x2, Sabrina x2
Scolipede Koga Bounce
This deck, enhanced by Mythical Island, retains its core strategy: Koga's bouncing Weezing back to your hand provides free retreats and consistent Poison damage via Scolipede's Poison Sting. Whirlipede further enhances Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, synergizing with Koga's effect.
- Pokémon: Venipede x2, Whirlepede x2, Scolipede x2, Koffing (Mythical Island) x2, Weezing x2, Mew EX
- Trainers: Koga x2, Sabrina x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2
Psychic Alakazam
Mew EX's inclusion makes this deck more consistent. 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, dealing increased damage based on the opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).
- Pokémon: Mew EX x2, Abra x2, Kadabra x2, Alakazam x2, Kangaskhan x2
- Trainers: Sabrina x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion, Budding Expeditioner
Pikachu EX V2
This dominant deck remains strong post-Mythical Island. Dedenne provides early aggression and Paralysis. Pikachu EX's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains consistent: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX.
- Pokémon: Pikachu EX x2, Zapdos EX x2, Blitzle x2, Zebstrika x2, Dedenne x2
- Trainers: Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed, Potion x2
These are some of the best decks for Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island. Consult The Escapist for further game strategies and information.
