• 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 rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Energy on Grass Pokémon (including Celebi Ex), dramatically increasing Celebi Ex's attack potential via boosted 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 Dhelmise substitutes.

• Key Cards: Snivy x2, Servine x2, Serperior x2, Celebi Ex x2, Dhelmise x2, Erika x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion x2, Sabrina x2

Scolipede Koga Bounce

This upgraded classic relies on Koga's bouncing ability to repeatedly deploy Weezing for Poison damage, while Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing Koga's strategy.

• Key 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, Poke Ball x2

Psychic Alakazam

Mew Ex provides early-game tanking and attack options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew Ex's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).

• Key Cards: Mew Ex x2, Abra x2, Kadabra x2, Alakazam x2, Kangaskhan x2, Sabrina x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion, Budding Expeditioner

Pikachu Ex V2

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck gains Dedenne, offering early-game offense and Paralysis potential. Blue provides defensive support to compensate for Pikachu Ex's lower HP. The core strategy remains filling the bench with Electric Pokémon for Pikachu Ex's powerful attacks.

• Key Cards: Pikachu Ex x2, Zapdos Ex x2, Blitzle x2, Zebstrika x2, Dedenne x2, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research x2, Poke Ball x2, X Speed, Potion x2
