Celebi EX and Serperior Synergy

This popular deck aims for a rapid Serperior deployment, leveraging its Jungle Totem ability to double the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon (including Celebi EX). This dramatically boosts Celebi EX's coin-flip-based attack damage. Dhelmise acts as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine-based strategies. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise isn't available.

• 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

This deck, enhanced by Mythical Island, retains its core strategy: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for free retreats and strategic repositioning, while simultaneously maintaining Poison effects. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency via Poison Sting (20 damage + Poison). Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement, complementing 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's addition significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew EX provides a sturdy early-game presence with Psyshot and Genome Hacking, allowing for Alakazam setup. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo due to its Energy-dependent Psychic attack.

• 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 benefits from Dedenne's addition, providing a strong initial attacker and potential Paralysis. Pikachu EX's low HP is mitigated somewhat by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains the same: bench-filling with Electric Pokémon and unleashing Pikachu EX's attacks.

• 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
