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 doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's attack potential through increased coin flips. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.

Scolipede Koga Bounce

Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's bouncing ability returns Weezing to your hand for a free retreat and strategic repositioning, setting up another Poison attack. Whirlipede and Scolipede bolster Poison consistency with their Poison Sting attack. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga's strategy.

Psychic Alakazam

Mew EX provides a sturdy early-game presence, offering Psyshot and Genome Hacking to disrupt opponents. This buys time to deploy 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, even accounting for Jungle Totem.

Pikachu EX V2

Pikachu EX V2 Deck

The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, providing an early attacker and potential Paralysis. Pikachu EX's low HP remains a weakness, mitigated somewhat by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy—filling the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleashing Pikachu EX—remains unchanged.

These are some of the strongest deck builds following the Mythical Island expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket. For more gaming insights and strategies, check out The Escapist.
