Pokémon TCG Pocket Mythical Island Top Cards: Mew Ex, Vaporeon, Tauros, Raichu, and Blue

Top Cards from Mythical Island

Mythical Island delivers exciting new cards capable of reshaping the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta. Let's examine some key additions:

Mew Ex

130 HP Psyshot (1 Psy Energy): 20 damage. Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose 1 of your opponent’s Active Pokémon’s attacks and use it as this attack.

Mew Ex, a Basic Pokémon, boasts high HP, a serviceable base attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking. Its versatility allows integration into existing Mewtwo Ex decks, Gardevoir strategies, or even Colorless builds.

Vaporeon

120 HP Wash Out (Ability): As often as you like during your turn, you may move a Water Energy from 1 of your Benched Water Pokémon to your Active Water Pokémon. Wave Splash (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy): 60 damage.

Vaporeon's Wash Out ability significantly boosts Water-type decks, especially those employing Misty's already powerful high-roll potential. This energy manipulation could make Water decks even more dominant.

Tauros

100 HP Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy): If your opponent’s Active Pokémon is a Pokémon Ex, this attack does 80 more damage. 40+ damage.

Tauros, while requiring setup, delivers devastating blows against Ex Pokémon. Its ability to inflict 120 damage on Ex Pokémon poses a significant threat to decks like Pikachu Ex, while still impacting others like Charizard Ex.

Raichu

120 HP Gigashock (3 Lightning Energy): This attack also does 20 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon. 60 damage.

Raichu exacerbates the already potent threat of Pikachu Ex/Zebstrika decks. The added 20 damage to each benched Pokémon significantly impacts strategies relying on slowly building up benched Pokémon, particularly when paired with Surge decks.

Blue (Trainer/Supporter)

During your opponent’s next turn, all of your Pokémon take -10 damage from attacks from your opponent’s Pokémon.

Blue provides crucial defense against high-damage strategies that utilize Trainers like Blaine and Giovanni. By anticipating opponent actions, Blue can effectively counter quick knockout attempts.
