Mythical Island delivers powerful cards capable of creating new deck archetypes or bolstering existing strategies. Here's a closer look:

Mew Ex

With 130 HP, Mew Ex is a formidable Basic Pokémon. Its "Psyshot" attack deals 20 damage, while its signature move, "Genome Hacking," allows you to copy one of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks. This versatility makes Mew Ex a valuable addition to Mewtwo Ex decks, Gardevoir strategies, or even Colorless builds.

Vaporeon

Vaporeon's 120 HP and "Wash Out" Ability, which lets you shift Water Energy between your Benched and Active Water Pokémon, makes it a game-changer. This energy manipulation significantly enhances Water-type decks, potentially overpowering existing Misty strategies. Its "Wave Splash" attack adds 60 damage to its already impressive capabilities.

Tauros

Tauros (100 HP) shines against Ex Pokémon. Its "Fighting Tackle" attack deals 40 damage, but increases to 120 damage against Ex Pokémon. This makes it particularly effective against popular Pikachu Ex decks and poses a significant threat to Charizard Ex.

Raichu

Raichu's 120 HP and "Gigashock" attack (60 damage) also inflicts 20 damage on each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This ability to weaken your opponent's bench synergizes well with Surge decks and counters strategies relying on building up a strong bench.

Blue (Trainer/Supporter)

The new "Blue" Trainer card provides crucial defense. During your opponent's next turn, all your Pokémon take 10 less damage from attacks. This card is a valuable counter to strategies employing Giovanni or Blaine to secure quick knockouts.
