Celebi EX/Serperior Combo

This popular deck aims for a rapid Serperior setup. Serperior's Jungle Totem doubles the Energy count on Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, drastically 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.

Scolipede/Koga Bounce

Enhanced by Mythical Island, this deck retains its core strategy: Koga's bouncing ability returns Weezing to your hand for a free retreat and repeated Poison attacks. Whirlipede and Scolipede increase Poison consistency, while Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement.

Psychic Alakazam

Mew EX's addition significantly improves Alakazam's viability. Mew EX provides early defense and offensive options (Psyshot and Genome Hacking), allowing time to deploy Alakazam. Budding Expeditioner aids Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo effectively due to Psychic's damage scaling with opponent's Energy.

Pikachu EX V2

The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, offering early offense and Paralysis potential. Pikachu EX's low HP remains a weakness, mitigated somewhat by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX.
