Top Decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island Celebi Ex/Serperior Strategy Scolipede Koga Bounce Psychic Alakazam Domination Pikachu Ex V2
Celebi Ex/Serperior Strategy
This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Grass Pokémon Energy, boosting Celebi Ex's coin flip damage potential significantly. 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 alternatives if you lack Dhelmise.
Suggested Lineup:
- 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 enhanced classic utilizes Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand, providing a free retreat and consistent Poison damage. Whirlipede and Scolipede amplify the Poison effect, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.
Suggested Lineup:
- 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 Domination
Mew Ex provides early game resilience and attack options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking). This buys time to deploy Alakazam, further aided by Budding Expeditioner. Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo, dealing increased Psychic damage based on opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).
Suggested Lineup:
- 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
The enduring Pikachu Ex deck receives a boost from Dedenne, offering early-game offense and Paralysis potential. Blue provides crucial defense against Pikachu Ex's low HP. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex.
Suggested Lineup:
- 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
