Celebi EX/Serperior Combo

• 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

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

Scolipede/Koga Bounce

• Venipede x2
• Whirlipede x2
• Scolipede x2
• Koffing (Mythical Island) x2
• Weezing x2
• Mew EX
• Koga x2
• Sabrina x2
• Leaf x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Poké Ball x2

This refined Koga Bounce strategy remains a strong contender. Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and consistent Poison damage. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison application, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.

Psychic Alakazam

• 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

Mew EX's inclusion significantly improves Alakazam's consistency. Mew EX provides early game defense and strong attacks, allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo, as Psychic damage scales with opponent's attached Energy, even considering Jungle Totem.

Pikachu EX V2

• 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

The Pikachu EX deck retains its strength post-Mythical Island. Dedenne's addition provides early offense and Paralysis potential. Pikachu EX's low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains the same: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX's power.
