Top Mythical Island Cards
Mythical Island offers several exciting cards capable of creating new archetypes or bolstering existing decks. Here's a closer look:
Mew Ex
- HP: 130
- Psyshot (1 Psy Energy): 20 damage.
- Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose one of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks and use it as this attack.
Mew Ex is a Basic Pokémon with high HP, a serviceable basic attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking ability. Its versatility makes it a strong addition to existing Mewtwo Ex decks alongside Gardevoir, or even Colorless strategies.
Vaporeon
- HP: 120
- Wash Out (Ability): Move a Water Energy from a Benched Water Pokémon to your Active Water Pokémon as often as you like during your turn.
- Wave Splash (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy): 60 damage.
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 Water-type strategies.
Tauros
- HP: 100
- Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy): Deals 80 additional damage if the opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon Ex. Base damage: 40.
Tauros, while requiring setup, delivers devastating damage against Ex decks. Its 120 damage potential against Ex Pokémon makes it a significant threat to Pikachu Ex and other Ex-heavy strategies.
Raichu
- HP: 120
- Gigashock (3 Lightning Energy): 60 damage plus 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.
Raichu further exacerbates the threat posed by Pikachu Ex/Zebstrika decks. The additional 20 damage to Benched Pokémon significantly disrupts strategies relying on bench development. Its quick setup in Surge decks is an added advantage.
Blue (Trainer/Supporter)
Blue's effect reduces incoming damage by 10 to all your Pokémon during your opponent's next turn. This defensive card provides crucial protection against powerful attacks from opponents utilizing trainers like Blaine and Giovanni, particularly those focused on securing quick knockouts.
