Mythical Island significantly impacts the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta. These cards can create entirely new deck archetypes or bolster existing ones.
Mew Ex, a Basic Pokémon, boasts high HP, a serviceable basic attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking ability. Its versatility allows for integration into existing Mewtwo Ex or even Colorless decks.
Vaporeon's ability to freely manipulate Water Energy makes it a formidable addition to the meta, particularly against prevalent Misty decks. Its energy manipulation significantly enhances the already powerful Water-type strategies.
Tauros, while requiring setup, delivers devastating blows against Ex decks. Its ability to inflict 120 damage on any Ex Pokémon makes it a potent counter to strategies like Pikachu Ex.
Raichu further exacerbates the threat posed by Pikachu Ex/Zebstrika decks. The additional 20 damage to each Benched Pokémon significantly disrupts opponents relying on bench development. Its synergy with Surge decks allows for rapid deployment.
Blue provides crucial defensive capabilities against powerful attacks from opponents using trainers like Blaine and Giovanni. This counter-strategy effectively disrupts opponents aiming for quick knockouts.
