• 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 alternatives.

Key Cards: Snivy, Servine, Serperior, Celebi Ex, Dhelmise, Erika, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Sabrina

Scolipede Koga Bounce

Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede improve Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.

Key Cards: Venipede, Whirlepede, Scolipede, Koffing (Mythical Island), Weezing, Mew Ex, Koga, Sabrina, Leaf, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball

Psychic Alakazam

Mew Ex's addition significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew Ex provides early defense and offense, allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew Ex's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi Ex/Serperior combo effectively due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's Energy.

Key Cards: Mew Ex, Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Kangaskhan, Sabrina, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion, Budding Expeditioner

Pikachu Ex V2

The enduring Pikachu Ex deck gains Dedenne, providing early offense and Paralysis. Blue offers crucial defensive support, mitigating Pikachu Ex's low HP. The core strategy remains: bench Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu Ex's power.

Key Cards: Pikachu Ex, Zapdos Ex, Blitzle, Zebstrika, Dedenne, Blue, Sabrina, Giovanni, Professor’s Research, Poke Ball, X Speed, Potion
