• 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 setup. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's damage potential through increased 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

Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and allows for repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.

Psychic Alakazam

Mew EX's inclusion significantly improves this deck's viability. Mew EX provides early defense and offensive options, allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner assists with Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's Energy.

Pikachu EX V2

The ever-reliable Pikachu EX deck remains strong, bolstered by Dedenne's early-game attack and Paralysis potential. Pikachu EX's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive support. The core strategy remains consistent: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX's power.

These are some of the strongest decks following the Mythical Island expansion. Consult additional resources for more in-depth strategies and gameplay tips.
