• Pikachu EX V2

Celebi EX and Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a rapid Serperior setup. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically boosting Celebi EX's attack potential through increased coin flips. Dhelmise, also benefiting from Jungle Totem, serves as a secondary attacker. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable alternatives if Dhelmise is unavailable.

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: Koga's ability to bounce Weezing back to your hand provides a free retreat and allows for strategic Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede enhance Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement alongside Koga.

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 inclusion significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew EX provides early-game defense and powerful attacks, allowing time to set up Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with the opponent's attached Energy.

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 from Dedenne, providing early-game offense and potential Paralysis. Blue's inclusion mitigates Pikachu EX's low HP. The core strategy remains consistent: populate the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX.

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)
