- Pikachu EX V2
Celebi EX and Serperior Combo
This popular deck aims for a swift Serperior setup. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically increasing Celebi EX's attack potential via 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 provide viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.
Scolipede Koga Bounce
Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat and repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede boost Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.
Psychic Alakazam
Mew EX's inclusion significantly improves this deck's viability. Mew EX provides early defense and offensive options, buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo, dealing increased damage based on the opponent's attached Energy (including those boosted by Jungle Totem).
Pikachu EX V2
The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, providing early offense and potential Paralysis. Pikachu EX's low HP remains a weakness, mitigated somewhat by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains the same: flood the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX's power.
These are some of the strongest decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket following the Mythical Island expansion. For more gaming tips and strategies, check out The Escapist.
