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. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX. This dramatically boosts Celebi EX's coin flip-based attack damage. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. If you lack Dhelmise, consider Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX as substitutes.
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 refined launch deck benefits from Mythical Island additions. The core strategy remains: Koga bounces Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat and strategic repositioning, while simultaneously building Weezing for further Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga's abilities.
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's inclusion significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew EX provides early-game tankiness and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking). This buys time to set up Alakazam, aided by Budding Expeditioner for Mew EX retreats. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo, dealing increased Psychic damage based on attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).
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 remains strong post-Mythical Island, enhanced by Dedenne. Dedenne provides early-game offense and potential Paralysis. Pikachu EX's low HP is mitigated by Blue, bolstering defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX's power.
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)
