Top Cards from Mythical Island

Mythical Island delivers powerful cards capable of creating new deck archetypes or bolstering existing strategies. Here's a closer look:

Mew Ex

• HP: 130
• Psyshot (1 Psy Energy): 20 damage.
• Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Copy one attack from your opponent's Active Pokémon.

Mew Ex, a Basic Pokémon, boasts high HP, a serviceable basic attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking. Its versatility allows for integration into existing Mewtwo Ex decks alongside Gardevoir, or even Colorless strategies.

Vaporeon

• HP: 120
• Wash Out (Ability): Move a Water Energy from a Benched Water Pokémon to your Active Water Pokémon. (Unlimited uses per turn)
• Wave Splash (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy): 60 damage.

Vaporeon's ability to freely manipulate Water Energy makes it a formidable addition to the meta, particularly against prevalent Misty decks. This energy manipulation significantly enhances the power and consistency of Water-type strategies.

Tauros

• HP: 100
• Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy): 40+ damage. Deals an additional 80 damage if the opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon Ex.

Tauros, while requiring setup, delivers devastating damage against Ex Pokémon. Its potential to inflict 120 damage on Ex Pokémon makes it a significant threat to Pikachu Ex and other Ex-heavy decks.

Raichu

• HP: 120
• Gigashock (3 Lightning Energy): 60 damage plus 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.

Raichu significantly counters strategies relying on building up Benched Pokémon. The added damage to the opponent's bench, combined with its relatively quick setup in Surge decks, makes it a powerful addition.

Blue (Trainer/Supporter)

• Effect: During your opponent's next turn, all your Pokémon take 10 less damage from attacks.

Blue provides crucial defense against opponents utilizing Blaine or Giovanni for quick knockouts. By anticipating these strategies, Blue allows for effective counterplay.
