Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a 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. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer 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 free retreats and repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga's abilities.

Psychic Alakazam

Mew Ex's inclusion significantly improves this deck's viability. Mew Ex provides early-game defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew Ex's retreat. Crucially, Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent Pokémon's Energy, even factoring in Jungle Totem.

Pikachu Ex V2

The Pikachu Ex deck remains strong after Mythical Island, bolstered by Dedenne. Dedenne serves as an early attacker and offers Paralysis potential. Pikachu Ex's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains: bench Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex's attacks.
