The Pikachu ex deck stands out as one of the top Electric-type decks in the Pokémon TCG Pocket game, maintaining its competitive edge even after the introduction of Mythical Island. While there are numerous cards that could potentially enhance this deck, the main structure has remained quite stable, with minor changes following the second release. This deck demands a strategic approach, as Electric-type decks can be particularly sensitive to mistakes in gameplay.
In Pokémon TCG Pocket, the most effective decks typically revolve around an ex Pokémon, which serves as the focal point for the deck’s strategy and card selection. While this deck does have its vulnerabilities, it’s crucial to keep your Pokémon in play for as long as possible.
Pikachu ex Deck Card List
Choosing the Right Cards for Your Deck
This deck retains much of its original composition from the first set, although variants from Mythical Island have emerged, allowing players to experiment with these new options. Some players have consistently swapped specific cards in, while I personally favor a different variant depending on the situation.
Below is a deck list that aligns well with the current meta, but it’s worth noting there are several variations available. Following this, you will find suggestions for card substitutions, particularly for players who are free-to-play.
