Mythical Island's BEST New Cards - TCG Pocket

[@AustinJohnPlays]

Fun fact. Austin made it 2 seconds before misspeaking in this video. or maybe he did it so people have a comment to leave? we'll never know

[@wubbt]

HUZZAH!

[@Megidolaon999]

8:14 it’s actually 25 average, so a little higher!

[@jamieleung2285]

No he said mythical jungle instead of mythical island

[@nelsonbentley480]

PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS ON POCKET! WE MISS YOU! literally strategy/deck videos ANYYYTHIIIING!

[@browncub6]

I liked to think he’s more of an idea than a person 😉

[@darinholm8795]

My son is 4, almost 5 and completely obsessed with Pokémon. Him and I open a couple packs every night at bedtime just as a little bit of fun. Today, on the very first pack he pulled of the new expansion, he got the two star Mew EX card. Never has the quiet at bedtime rule been broken so quickly by us both.

[@elmaestro1549]

That's awesome cause it's the same. Thing here. My son is also 4 almost 5. He loves opening up packs in the game. I even got him a real pack to put in his stocking for 🎄 now

[@venvvs]

Getting to the age for his first game boy colour pokemon experience ☺️

[@johnblunt6693]

That's adorable

[@ultimamateria1604]

That’s awesome🎉 My little brother got me to play, yesterday I Pulled Interactive Celebi ex from my very first pack!! I was screaming

[@StevenVega-w2z]

A couple small corrections on electabuzz. Its not random damage. You choose, just like zebstrika. If its the active pokemon, weakness applies. If its the bench, weakness doesn’t apply

[@ZayZayPlayed]

Lumineon has 0 retreat deals 50 damage but only hits bench. I like the bench pressure in these cards.

[@StevenVega-w2z]

@ they’re really laying into pokeflute

[@fernandoferrobraga]

Another small correction is that the new Ponyta card actually averages to 25 which is more than the original Ponyta. Ofc it’s more luck based but it’s still an improvement imo.

[@slaps1455]

Just came to say the same thing!

[@pokechannel9758]

​@@fernandoferrobraga how does it average to 25? You either get 10 or 40 so average is 20

[@egrygius]

I pulled two immersive Celebi ex’s in a single 10-pack opening, and I’ve gotta say, this Celebi/Serperior deck is putting in some WORK

[@cotefacekillah]

Yeah that deck is nuts. Have to run Blaine now cause everyone is using it lol

[@yoshiegg6537]

It's bad, they need to cap the amount of coin flips or reduce damage or lower it HP. It's making the game boring.

[@TheMobiusTrap]

9:09 The new Eevee is evil. I faced it in one of the new PvE decks. It did 9 heads in a row against me in one of my matches. The coin flip RNG is pure evil!

[@spicyoreos74]

That’s like a .19% chance

[@HyperShiningSliver]

@@TheMobiusTrap i rolled 13 heads yesterday and honestly its kind of sercet tech now. + flareon being able to 1 shot Celebi

[@spilteredhydra403]

The terrifying part about the new Vaporeon is that you can use ti to keep looping the same three energy to whoever needs it, like if your first articuno gets sabrina'd and next turn you use vaporeon to bring that articuno active

[@ItzLog]

@@spilteredhydra403 I’m pretty sure it’s just one water energy a turn so it’s not going to be as crazy

[@Droub_]

@ItzLog NOPE! AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT

[@wail2774]

6:35 did bro forget about the mewtwo deck

[@0ratratA]

Better to use pokeball for basic Pokemon

[@ClockworkEn]

​@0ratratA Pokeball doesn't help get Gardevoir on the field. That's the point op was making.

[@0ratratA]

@@ClockworkEn then that wouldn’t make sense for op to say “forgot” abt the deck. Bc Austin said that that item card would be useful for evolutions.

[@colby_247]

@@0ratratA Ya but he only say Alakazam, he didn't mention Gardevoir but it's okay.

[@buggydclown5393]

But if you need a Sabrina or oak it’s gone for the game

[@satan9011]

I wish they’d add Scizor

[@austink2598]

@@satan9011 wouldve been nice for metal decks! Scizor and Steelix would have been nice.

[@austink2598]

I realize i said nice twice. Im tired

[@joshchavez8614]

Pronbably next month when the new set drop odds are it’s Johto

[@adamklosterman101]

Bruh, I hope you were joking about Mythical Slab, cuz that card is insane in one of the most meta decks out there. Finding your Ralts evolutions in Mewtwo EX is the whole point of the deck. 😂

[@goldlemur8]

and it finally gives a use for the pokedex card

[@adamklosterman101]

@goldlemur8 I'm still unsure if it's worth extra card slots just to make sure the Slab hits. Kinda feel like it's good enough if it's just "sometimes, draw an important card", but I could totally be wrong there.

[@samsungrefrigeratorcondens4354]

I feel like if you build your deck right it can be a win-win whether you get it or not. If you are running Psychic decks with many evolutions (Gardevoir, Alakazam, or even Beheeyem because that's a card now) then it's good to get those cards out right away. If you draw something that isn't a Psychic pokemon (like a trainer card,) then you probably didn't want it anyways, since you are looking for an evolution, which makes it a good thing that it's moved out of the way. Worst case scenario, you send a Professor Oak to the bottom of the deck, but that can be resurfaced through a pokeball or the new Chatot. I think they're trying to give each type a more unique character. Grass is setting up tanky pokemon with lots of energy to deal lots of damage and heal at the same time (which is why Serperior is busted), and psychic is meant to be knowledge and drawing a lot of cards. They added a psychic specialized Meowth, made Mew more accessible, and added Mythical Slab, all are meant to manipulate the deck and give you information to your benefit.

[@TheGamingTurret]

I was very relieved when I saw that I could still pull cards from the Genetic Apex decks (I'm still missing a few, mostly rares) I'd like to get 1 of each card except the full art trainer cards!

[@Simon-jv3bc]

I got both the Celebi immersive and the crown Mew at the same time in a god pack. I am baffled.

[@stormborn23]

1:30 My sleep deprived brain thought you said "So if you're running a Covid deck" instead of Koga deck 😭

[@J0DJ02]

I kid you not my third pack in my first ten pack was the crown rare mew. Some friends of mine saw me open it live and I was SO HYPE! What a great set 😂🥳🙏

[@Kai-nw6ej]

@@J0DJ02 same here

[@Anne-qk3ch]

Fourth for me but I still can't pull a good Pikachu from the first set smdh

[@GreySoul-k5z]

Ive opened around 30 packs and I still haven't gotten a regular Mew ex 😢

[@OSHA-1-0]

@J0DJ02 Funny, I watched my buddy open his live last night. Congrats on your awesome pull and good luck on your other packs!

[@WooHooSum]

SAME!

[@Spec_Draws]

I’m being as transparent as glass here , when I saw the Celebi card , my first comment to it was , and I quote “Celebi is gonna be OP with ‘’’ *misty* ’’’”

[@TheGabbaGhoul666]

We all goof, I had a brain fart like this earlier today

[@klissattack]

I want to see Vaporeon's ability on Jolteon. That paired with Magnaton would be pretty decent. Like Sarge but not as limiting

[@LazyTurtle921]

When it first released, I opened 10 packs, and got the special alternate art of Aerodactyl Ex, and is beautiful.

[@mitchlefebvre]

Also throw in a cheeky Lilligant from Genetic Apex with the Celebi/Serperior deck to distribute more energy is pretty crazy synergy.

[@Drstrange3000]

That's what I did, and the deck is broken lol.

[@Adrian-ob5uf]

hey that looks like Austin John

[@mcpokemon1997]

I just started testing out Celebi/Serperior and it does take a bit to set up. But also...400 damage to a poor Raichu... Then knocked out Mew EX in one turn too... My fire deck might have some competition for my favorite deck spot.

[@DanBlabbers]

I run liligant to get as many energy on celebi as possible until serperior gets online. I did 550 in a game with celebi

[@mcpokemon1997]

@@DanBlabbers Thanks for that idea! Kinda forgot about that card. I was just running Shiinotic and its ability to make your opponent go to sleep to stall. But Liligant definitely sounds like a much better idea.

[@InfinityZeroEX]

It’s about as fast as Mewtwo Ex, but more potential damage.

[@InfinityZeroEX]

I just run only Serperior and Celebi EX. I just use Erika and potions for early game healing if things aren’t going my way at first. Only real worry is Mewtwo EX if it gets set up first. Same for Charizard EX.

[@yaboilettuce7394]

Chatot is a better answer to professor’s research over red card. Serperior celebi runs it to make sure serperior is online asap

[@Veristelle-]

It takes an energy and has to be active, which is a huge cost. But it IS far better than red card. Just harder to get to use (though red card is a trap)

[@ProphetDomme]

10:45 doesn't the Pikachu Ex only deal 30 dmg for each benched electro Pokemon? So Celebi can't get knocked out even with Giovanni

[@CrystalStarDragon]

My first god pack was in this set.

[@jamesrasnake3651]

I got a 3 star celibi on my first pack and was so excited to get it Edit: not talking about the comment but in the video, there are some cards i could take advantage of because I found a strat that most of the time, i get heads flipping the coin.

[@ReynoldsGarrett]

8:05 This ponyta averages to 25 damage. (10 damage + 40 damage) / 2 = 25 damage. So technically better, but riskier for sometimes doing 10 damage.

[@kristianlawrence]

It’s been nice having new cards, me and my daughter have really enjoyed opening new packs together. The deck I was using in the most recent PVP event was a Zapdos only deck 😅. 2x Zapdos EX and 18 items and trainer cards. Disgustingly I have never lost with it.

[@JC-cj1dw]

8:00 it actually averages out to 25 (average of 50 every two turns) making it slightly better on average than the base ponyta (which is a guaranteed 40 every two turns)

[@Decanfrostt88]

Saved up a little over 300 hour glasses. Got the Celebi immersive art on my second pack. Only opened 12 packs, but I'm half way to that emblem. About to open some more with my girlfriend, then the real cards come Christmas day 😊 got to open my first Japanese cards last night in about 25 years and got the Jolteon EX full art. My dog Eevee picked the pack with the pull.

[@SuperMG95]

Just an fyi, if you're using an attack that can target either active or bench like Zebstrika, if it hits the active, then it'll do weakness. If it hits the bench, it'll ignore weakness

[@AncientBee606]

Just pulled the golden Mew ex card. Over the moon 😁

[@hooky17]

With the mythical slab. I imagine you’d use it for Gardevoir to power up the Mewtwo EX asap

[@toriko4603]

Thank god your still alive!

[@Crashpunk]

I got the immersive Celebi card in my very first pack! :)

[@colby_247]

3:47 You get to choose haha, I replace my Pincurchin for this Electabuzz in my Pikachu ex deck. 12:25 Beheeyem is literally the abbreviation of B.E.M (bug-eyed monster) and Egylem is L.G.M (little green monster)

[@aniMegsworld]

I pulled the regular Mew ex card, both the Marshadow & alternate art Marshadow, alternate art Surperior, & a Gyarados ex with the rainbow edge card. To say I'm addicted would be an understatement. It's a full-on obsession now. Even got the gold pass just so I could open more packs! 🤩

[@Johana-c9n]

This content is so good! I'm hooked!

[@PhaethonCrafts]

Celebi also works well with Apex Lilligant to get loads of energy quickly.

[@pboogity8309]

3:31 if it’s like zebstrika, then you get to pick

[@josh--el]

Given that we got Blue and Leaf in this set, I bet they're saving Red for the A2a expansion (I'd guess themed around Mt. Silver, to expand on A2 that we assume is base Johto)

[@Kingogames1111]

Awesome video! I pulled crown mew in my first pack 🤩

[@dragonrider712]

The new Tauros is a nod to the Pummelo Gym battle in the anime, and the artwork is righteous!

[@Omnicharlizard]

Good to see and Austinjohnplays video xD xD

[@herokiller1905]

It’s cool to see expansions getting added, I got the crown card on my first 10 pack.

[@xKarenWalkerx]

I love Marshadow dude

[@Ffsitsblue]

I need Mew more than anything ever

[@GlennJimenez]

Have you seen the blue one

[@buggydclown5393]

The mew ex/ florges combo is gonna be brutal to deal with once more people get the lines

[@anarchond]

Bro im level 32 and never knew the packs had unique sounds when opening ten and hitting good cards lol. Good to know

[@InfinityZeroEX]

So far the most broken new meta deck is Celebi EX with Serperior. Serperior’s ability doubles Celebi’s coin flips for its attacks it’s insane!

[@Pokemonfan2500]

You know there's going to be so many people running celebi ex and serperior decks

[@cotefacekillah]

Yeah I feel forced to run Blaine at the moment. Should die down in a few days once people find all the counters. Pidgeot ex can be a good card against it but alas I’ve yet to pull one!

[@theonlyg8818]

I pulled 2 crown mews in back to back days as a f2p player without saving pack hourglasses, just from my daily packs and the free hourglasses for 2 days.

[@lauritzscheper381]

Hey dude, isn‘t Ponyta 10 or 40 dmg attack averaging 25, so slightly better than the always 20 dmg version of it?

[@creativegabe]

Any chance you drop some videos of you battling?

[@_DrPotato]

8:15 Just wanna say 10 and 40 does not average out to 20, it averages out to 25 meaning the new ponyta does more damage on average. I would definitely prefer the new ponyta, 40 is a very meaningful chip and still being able to deal at least 10 on the whiff is very nice.

[@kyoudai7]

I'm new to battling, how does Drudiggon get the fire and water energy for its move?

[@AustinJohnPlays]

when building a deck you have an option of what energy is used in the deck. it defaults to the types of pokemon in the deck

[@kyoudai7]

​@@AustinJohnPlaysoh! Woah! Thank you! I just checked and I see it now. I assumed you could only pick one

[@Mattgyver1987]

Damn I'm at level 28 and I thought I was doing good I did get a God pack last night all Illustrated cards

[@TheJazzMan333]

I run Venusaur (EX), Lilligant, Shiinotic, with Celebi-EX, and it's a nice synergy.

[@StormMage27]

So happy I got the immersive celibi in the first ten packs!

[@jeffreystrickland3010]

I pulled a mew today after doing all the missions and opened about 7 packs I was so excited

[@NobuoHack008]

Marshadow is really difficult to play around. I can't wait to include it in my deck.

[@pokechannel9758]

10:21 Also, double grass energy works only for Grass pokemon.

[@picho3190]

I was able to get Gold Mew EX on my first 10 packs of opening!! Currentling rocking a Pideot/ Aerodactyl EX. Had almost 14 back to back wins

[@brianovermoyer6011]

First 5 packs got the immersive celebi and mew ex from the video. I wish that luck translated to my irl pokemon card collecting.

[@GrieverRing]

I collect Mew cards IRL and I'm so hyped for this. Must get all mews!

[@taylorjames14]

I'm still missing 3 cards for genetic apex and that includes wigglytuff EX, glad I'm not the only one that's been missing it 😂

[@Shottos]

Did my first ten pull, got mew ex, celeby ex and the rainbow mew card. It was wild

[@crazychr1s167]

i got the crown card on my second or third pull. wasn't going to brag but Austin told us to at the end of the video.

[@xbsdbsdbx]

Can't believe he just sorta brushed off Mythic Slab when that card is busted. It's cycle. It helps Mewtwo get Gardevoir up faster.

[@mikecampbell1669]

I managed to get the new immersive Celebi on my third pack this morning, insane luck lol

[@yasinachekzai2567]

Actually... 10 or 40 damage is 25 on average. (10⋅0.5) + (40⋅0.5) = 5 + 20 = 25. So the new Ponyta is technically stronger, but I still get your point, and the consistency of a safe 20 might be worth more.

[@YokhudoMhixid]

I can see Ponyta + Tauros and Aerodactyl EX + Tauros can change the EX meta.

[@Leeken69]

Wigglytuff EX is the only card I'm missing too! along with regular Exeggcutor but I bought that with pack points

[@orenmartin187]

I saw this video, updated my game, then on my 2nd pack, managed to pull the Gold Mew card! Crazy!

[@orenmartin187]

Just opened 10 more packs, got the rainbow rare mew EX, 2 alternate full arts, and back to back Immersive art celebi ex's!!! Insane pack!

[@josephmennella8573]

There should be a feature in the game where you can sell your duplicates for pack points because I don’t want to waste them just for flairs

[@StevensDs]

From my reserve of Hourglasses I opened 40 packs. Crown Mew included!

[@GeneralNickles]

The very first pack of this set that I opened had the full art rainbow mew.

[@Davids_place_to_dump_videos]

First time I came across the new Eevee card it hit me for 140 damage (6 heads), on its first turn. I lost before my second turn 😂 Used it twice myself so far and got tails first time both times 🤷‍♂️

[@fastjake7]

Love this TCG game. The battle format is so fun

[@MyDarkQueen_999]

Within my first 15 packs, I got both full art mews, the full art celebi ex and a god pack

[@TheMinosae]

Yeah that celebi ex destroyed my deck with the 200 damage! You have take it out quick!

[@marcusjones1399]

4th pack got me the Gold Mew Card. I got super lucky. Also got full art EX celebi

[@ryanrab13]

I got the gold mew on my third pack! Although I never managed a crown rarity in genetic apex, so maybe it balances out...

[@Lord_ACDC]

Are you able to test all the different interactions of the Serperior ability? For example, a pokemon that would need 2 energy to retreat, would you be able to retreat using only 1 grass energy. If the opponent attacks you with psychic will your energy be counted as double for this too? ( Like alakazam does 30 damage for each energy attach to the opponent pokemon. If the opponent has 1 energy and a serperior on the bench. Will it still do only 30 more or will it do 60 more?

[@M5Ping]

Bro I got on to use my pack points and I went ahead and did a "10 open". I only had enough to do 10 so I was over the moon to get my first crown as the MEW EX. I was livid

[@Cody-ShinyNexus]

You can choose for Electabuzz It's like Zebstrika

[@iannemetzg]

Serperior is out turn 3 almost every time in the solo master battle lol

[@zwillscoopchannel9689]

For the Ponyta, 10+40 averages out to 25, so it can be considered better.

My 1st pack I got the 2 star mew with the rainbow boarder

[@Carlitos_66]

I already got the Celebi emblem, got 2 rainbow Mew ex (one from wonder pick), 2 and 3 star Celebi EX

[@Alvin_Hofling]

i love a deck that i run rn. it´s a split line with one new exeggutor and one exeggutor ex and i run it with serperior and one celebi. The exeggutor ex is a good starting tank and then the new exeggurtor is good anagiens celebi and mew-two

[@sabrinamoreira5601]
