Best Decks for the Mythical Island Emblem Event

Considering that December’s Emblem Event started shortly after the Mythical Island expansion release, it’s likely that the META won’t see major shifts. New cards aren’t drastically changing the current metagame, and PvP matches continue to be dominated by Pikachu ex and Mewtwo ex decks. Therefore, the safest bet is to stick with either of these lineups if you already have them.

However, there’s been a noticeable rise in Gyarados ex decks, largely due to its strong synergy with Vaporeon and Misty. If you’re looking for a unique setup, consider using this deck in the Mythical Island Event and complete it with Lapras and Supporter cards like Leaf, Sabrina, and Giovanni.

Tips for the Mythical Island Emblem Event

If you want to make the most of this event, keep these tips in mind:

• Calculate your deck's average win rate. The top three META decks in Pokemon Pocket have an average win rate of around 50%, meaning you'll likely need to play 90 matches to achieve 45 wins. This translates to about four matches per day for the entire 22-day event.
• You can't play event matches once you reach 45 wins. If you're aiming for the final Shinedust mission (50 wins), you'll need to play regular PvP matches after earning the Gold Emblem, as the game won’t allow you to queue for event matches after completing it.
• Take advantage of Mew ex in your event decks. Mew ex is one of the best counters against META cards like Mewtwo ex. If it fits in your lineup, make use of its colorless mirroring ability, Genome Hacking.
