Top Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island Celebi EX and Serperior Synergy Scolipede Koga Bounce Strategy Psychic Alakazam Powerhouse Pikachu EX V2 Domination
Celebi EX and Serperior Synergy
This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Its Jungle Totem ability doubles Energy on 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, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable Dhelmise alternatives.
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 Strategy
This enhanced launch-day favorite utilizes Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and strategic repositioning while maintaining Poison damage. Whirlipede and Scolipede boost Poison consistency with Poison Sting's 20 damage and Poison effect. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga.
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 Powerhouse
Mew EX provides early game tankiness and attack options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), buying time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo effectively due to its Psychic attack scaling with opponent Energy.
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 Domination
The enduring Pikachu EX deck gains Dedenne, offering early aggression and potential Paralysis. Blue provides defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's low HP. The core strategy remains the same: bench Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX.
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
