Best Mythical Island Decks to Build in Pokemon TCG Pocket

The *Pokémon TCG Pocket* Mythical Island mini-expansion has significantly altered the meta. To help you navigate this new landscape, here are some top-tier deck builds:

Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island

Celebi EX and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX. This dramatically boosts Celebi EX's coin-flip-based attack damage. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. If you lack Dhelmise, consider Exeggcute and Exeggutor EX as viable substitutes.

Deck List: Snivy x2, Servine x2, Serperior x2, Celebi EX x2, Dhelmise x2, 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 bouncing Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat and repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga's abilities.

Deck List: Venipede x2, Whirlepede x2, Scolipede x2, Koffing (Mythical Island) x2, Weezing x2, Mew EX, Koga x2, Sabrina x2, Leaf x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2

Psychic Alakazam

Mew EX provides early game resilience and attack options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking). This allows time to set up Alakazam, further aided by Budding Expeditioner for Mew EX retreats. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).

Deck List: Mew EX x2, Abra x2, Kadabra x2, Alakazam x2, Kangaskhan x2, Sabrina x2, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion, Budding Expeditioner

Pikachu EX V2

The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, offering early-game aggression and potential Paralysis. Blue provides defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's lower HP. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX.

Deck List: Pikachu EX x2, Zapdos EX x2, Blitzle x2, Zebstrika x2, Dedenne x2, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research x2, Poké Ball x2, X Speed, Potion x2
