Celebi Ex and Serperior Combo
This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem ability doubles Energy on all 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, this deck is 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, Poke Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion x2, Sabrina x2
Scolipede Koga Bounce
Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's bouncing ability returns Weezing to your hand for a free retreat and strategic repositioning, while simultaneously setting up for another Poison attack. Whirlipede and Scolipede boost Poison consistency with Poison Sting. 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, Poke Ball x2
Psychic Alakazam
Mew Ex's addition greatly improves Alakazam's consistency. Mew Ex provides early defense and offense (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to prepare Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew Ex's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's 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, Poke Ball x2, X Speed x2, Potion, Budding Expeditioner
Pikachu Ex V2

Pikachu Ex remains a strong contender post-Mythical Island, boosted by Dedenne's early-game attack and Paralysis potential. Blue provides crucial defensive support for Pikachu Ex's low HP. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with 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, Poke Ball x2, X Speed, Potion x2
