Pokemon TCG Pocket Mythical Island Best Cards
Even though Mythical Island is a smaller release, it packs a punch with exciting cards that can either create new archetypes or enhance existing ones within the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* meta. Let's delve into the details of the top cards.
Mew Ex
**Mew Ex** boasts 130 HP and two powerful attacks: **Psyshot** (1 Psy Energy) dealing 20 damage, and **Genome Hacking** (3 Colorless Energy) which allows you to use one of your opponent's Active Pokemon's attacks. This versatility makes Mew Ex a game-changer, suitable for Mewtwo Ex decks, Gardevoir line-ups, or even Colorless decks, offering immense strategic flexibility.
Vaporeon
**Vaporeon** with 120 HP comes with the **Wash Out** ability, enabling you to move Water Energy from your Benched Water Pokemon to your Active Water Pokemon as often as you like during your turn. Coupled with **Wave Splash** (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy) dealing 60 damage, Vaporeon could significantly bolster Water decks, particularly in Misty strategies, making it a formidable force in the meta.
Tauros
With 100 HP, **Tauros** features **Fighting Tackle** (3 Colorless Energy), which inflicts 40+ damage and an additional 80 damage if the opponent's Active Pokemon is a Pokemon Ex. This makes Tauros a potent counter to Ex decks, capable of instantly taking down Pikachu Ex and posing a serious threat to Charizard Ex.
Raichu
**Raichu**, with 120 HP, unleashes **Gigashock** (3 Lightning Energy), dealing 60 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon and an additional 20 damage to each of their Benched Pokemon. This card amplifies the threat of Pikachu Ex decks with Zebstrika, making it a nightmare for opponents trying to build up their Bench slowly, especially in Surge decks.
Blue
**Blue** is a new Trainer/Supporter card that reduces damage taken by all your Pokemon by 10 during your opponent's next turn. This card is a strategic defensive tool against aggressive Ex decks utilizing Giovanni for quick knockouts. Blue can disrupt their plans if you anticipate their moves effectively.
These are the top cards from the Mythical Island set in *Pokemon TCG Pocket* that you should keep an eye on. For more tips, information, and solutions to issues like Error 102, make sure to visit The Escapist.
