Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Energy on Grass Pokémon (including Celebi Ex), dramatically boosting Celebi Ex's coin-flip-based damage. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While potent, it's vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor Ex offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.

Decklist: 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

Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga bounces Weezing back to your hand for free retreats and strategic positioning, while simultaneously replenishing Weezing for continued Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency with Poison Sting (20 damage + Poison). Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga.

Decklist: 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

Mew Ex's inclusion significantly improves Alakazam's consistency. Mew Ex provides early defense and offense (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew Ex's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's attached Energy (including Jungle Totem boosts).

Decklist: 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

Pikachu Ex remains strong post-Mythical Island, with Dedenne as a new addition. Dedenne serves as an early attacker and can inflict Paralysis. Pikachu Ex's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex.

Decklist: 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
