- Scolipede Koga Bounce
- Psychic Alakazam
- Pikachu EX V2
Celebi EX and Serperior Combo
This popular deck aims for rapid Serperior deployment. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles Grass Pokémon energy, massively boosting Celebi EX's damage potential through increased coin flips. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While powerful, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable Dhelmise substitutes.
- Key Cards: 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 a free retreat, while Scolipede and Whirlipede consistently inflict Poison. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, synergizing with Koga's effects.
- 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), Poké Ball (x2)
Psychic Alakazam
Mew EX provides early game resilience and stalling power with Psyshot and Genome Hacking, buying time to deploy Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew EX retreats. Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo effectively, as Psychic damage scales with opponent's attached energy, even accounting for Jungle Totem.
- Key Cards: 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
The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, offering early aggression and potential Paralysis. Blue provides defensive support to compensate for Pikachu EX's low HP. The core strategy remains consistent: flood the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX's power.
- Key Cards: 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)
