Pokémon TCG Pocket Mythical Island: Top Cards

Mythical Island, despite its smaller size, packs a punch with game-changing cards. From the legendary Mew Ex to the versatile Vaporeon, these cards redefine existing archetypes and create entirely new strategic possibilities within the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta. Let's dive into the details.

Mew Ex

• 130 HP
• Psyshot (1 Psy Energy): 20 damage.
• Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose 1 of your opponent’s Active Pokémon’s attacks and use it as this attack.

Mew Ex is a standout Basic Pokémon boasting high HP, a serviceable basic attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking ability. Its adaptability makes it a strong addition to existing Mewtwo Ex decks alongside the Gardevoir line, or even a powerful inclusion in Colorless-based strategies.

Vaporeon

• 120 HP
• Wash Out (Ability): As often as you like during your turn, you may move a Water Energy from 1 of your Benched Water Pokémon to your Active Water Pokémon.
• Wave Splash (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy): 60 damage.

Vaporeon is poised to become a major force, particularly against prevalent Misty decks. Its Wash Out ability to shift Water Energy between Pokémon dramatically enhances Water-type strategies, potentially making them even more dominant.

Tauros

• 100 HP
• Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy): If your opponent’s Active Pokémon is a Pokémon Ex, this attack does 80 more damage. 40+ damage.

While Tauros requires setup, its Fighting Tackle attack delivers devastating blows against Ex decks. The potential for 120 damage against Ex Pokémon makes it a significant threat, particularly effective against Pikachu Ex decks and a considerable challenge even for Charizard Ex.

Raichu

• 120 HP
• Gigashock (3 Lightning Energy): This attack also does 20 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon. 60 damage.

Raichu further amplifies the threat of Pikachu Ex/Zebstrika decks. Gigashock's additional 20 damage to each Benched Pokémon significantly disrupts strategies that rely on building up a strong bench, especially effective within a Surge deck.

Blue

• Effect: During your opponent’s next turn, all of your Pokémon take -10 damage from attacks from your opponent’s Pokémon.

Blue, a new Trainer/Supporter card, offers crucial defensive capabilities. He provides a powerful counter to strategies that rely on quick knockouts from cards like Blaine and Giovanni, disrupting opponent plans and buying valuable time.
