Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
Celebi EX and Serperior Combo
This popular strategy prioritizes quickly deploying Serperior. 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 highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise isn't available.
Scolipede Koga Bounce
This deck, enhanced by Mythical Island, 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. Leaf card facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing Koga's abilities.
Psychic Alakazam
Mew EX provides a sturdy early-game presence and offers both 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, as Psychic damage scales with the opponent's attached Energy, even considering Jungle Totem.
Pikachu EX V2
The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, providing early-game offense and potential Paralysis. Pikachu EX's low HP is mitigated somewhat by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains consistent: filling the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleashing Pikachu EX's attacks.
These are some of the strongest deck builds in Pokémon TCG Pocket following the Mythical Island expansion. Check out The Escapist for more in-depth game strategies and guides.
