Best Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island
Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo
This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi Ex, dramatically increasing Celebi Ex's attack potential through boosted coin flips. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While highly effective, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.
Key Cards: 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 upgraded deck retains its core strategy: Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and allows for strategic repositioning, maximizing Poison damage. 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, Poké Ball x2
Psychic Alakazam
Mew Ex's inclusion significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew Ex provides early-game defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew Ex's retreat. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy, even factoring in Jungle Totem.
Key Cards: 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, providing early-game offense and potential Paralysis. Blue offers defensive support to mitigate Pikachu Ex's low HP. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex's attacks.
Key Cards: 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
