Celebi EX and Serperior Combo
This popular strategy focuses on quickly deploying Serperior and leveraging its Jungle Totem ability. This doubles the Energy count on all Grass Pokémon, including Celebi EX, dramatically increasing Celebi EX's attack potential through boosted coin flips. Dhelmise serves as a secondary attacker, also benefiting from Jungle Totem. While highly effective, this deck is vulnerable to Blaine decks. If you lack Dhelmise, Exeggcute and Exeggcutor EX offer viable alternatives.
Scolipede Koga Bounce
This deck, enhanced by Mythical Island, retains its core strategy: using Koga to bounce Weezing back to your hand for a free retreat and strategic repositioning, while simultaneously building up Weezing for repeated Poison attacks. Scolipede and Whirlipede improve Poison consistency. Leaf facilitates Pokémon movement in conjunction with Koga.
Psychic Alakazam
The addition of Mew EX significantly strengthens this deck. Mew EX provides a sturdy early-game presence, utilizing Psyshot and Genome Hacking to stall for Alakazam setup. Budding Expeditioner aids in Mew EX's retreat. Alakazam effectively counters the Celebi EX/Serperior combo due to Psychic's damage scaling with the opponent's attached Energy (including those boosted by Jungle Totem).
Pikachu EX V2

The enduring Pikachu EX deck receives a boost with Dedenne, providing a strong early attacker and potential Paralysis. Pikachu EX's historically low HP is mitigated by Blue's defensive capabilities. The core strategy remains the same: fill the bench with Electric Pokémon and unleash Pikachu EX's power.
