Dominate the Pokemon TCG Pocket Mythical Island Meta: Top Deck Strategies

The Pokemon TCG Pocket Mythical Island mini-expansion has significantly altered the meta. To maintain your competitive edge, here's a breakdown of the best decks to build:

Table of Contents

  • Best Decks in Pokemon 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 rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles Energy on Grass Pokémon, including Celebi Ex, dramatically increasing Celebi Ex's attack potential through boosted 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.

Decklist Example:

  • Snivy x2
  • Servine x2
  • Serperior x2
  • Celebi Ex x2
  • Dhelmise x2
  • Erika x2
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • X Speed x2
  • Potion x2
  • Sabrina x2

Scolipede Koga Bounce

This upgraded classic utilizes Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and enabling repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing Koga's strategy.

Decklist Example:

  • Venipede x2
  • Whirlepede x2
  • Scolipede x2
  • Koffing (Mythical Island) x2
  • Weezing x2
  • Mew Ex
  • Koga x2
  • Sabrina x2
  • Leaf x2
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2

Psychic Alakazam

Mew Ex's inclusion significantly improves this deck's consistency. Mew Ex provides early 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, dealing increased damage based on attached Energy (including those boosted by Jungle Totem).

Decklist Example:

  • Mew Ex x2
  • Abra x2
  • Kadabra x2
  • Alakazam x2
  • Kangaskhan x2
  • Sabrina x2
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • X Speed x2
  • Potion
  • Budding Expeditioner

Pikachu Ex V2

Pikachu Ex V2 Deck

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck receives a boost from Dedenne, offering early attacks 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.

Decklist Example:

  • Pikachu Ex x2
  • Zapdos Ex x2
  • Blitzle x2
  • Zebstrika x2
  • Dedenne x2
  • Blue
  • Sabrina
  • Giovanni
  • Professor’s Research x2
  • Poke Ball x2
  • X Speed
  • Potion x2

These strategies offer a strong foundation for conquering the Pokemon TCG Pocket Mythical Island meta. For further game insights and strategies, consult additional resources.
