The release of the Mythical Island expansion in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has introduced a brand-new card duo that stands out as incredibly powerful. Players that want to take make the most of this expansion should look towards the Pokémon Flute item card and Volcarono, which, in tandem, can leave the opponent helpless in competitive battles. Fire-type cards and decks like Charizard ex have become increasingly popular since the release of the mobile game, and this trend is continuing as new cards are added.
For those that want to shake up the meta and try something fresh, this combination of cards offers a chance to use the attacks and abilities of overlooked cards. The duo, along with its deck, is highly aggressive, but players must be careful with their strategy for it to work effectively.
Volcarona & Pokémon Flute Create An Unstoppable Strategy For Easy Points
This Duo Works Together To Revive & Kill A Card From The Opponent's Discard Pile.
Volcarona and the Pokémon Flute item card come together to create a surefire tactic for earning easy points. Volcarona is a stage one card that evolves from Larvesta, featuring 120 HP and an impressive, powerful attack. “Volcanic Ash” does 80 damage to any of the opponent’s Pokémon, whether it is in the Active Spot or on the bench. This freedom of choice is important to note, as it is this ability that makes it work so well with the Pokémon Flute. This attack does discard two Fire Energy, so players must be careful with energy production when using this card.
The Mythical Island Pokemon TCG set has introduced a bunch of new cards, and Celebi ex is a clear standout for both collectors and battlers alike.
The Pokémon Flute allows players to put a Basic Pokémon from their opponent’s discard pile onto their bench. This means that a low HP card that was eliminated in the early stages of a battle will be back in play. Players should use this item card whilst Volcarona is in the Active Spot, ensuring the 80-damage attack targets the revived card to dispatch it a second time. This can quickly secure an easy point.
Moltres ex also assists in this process, being used for faster energy production. This can allow the player to easily charge up Volcarona, as it needs three energy to use its attack —two Fire Energy and one Colorless Energy. Moltres ex also ensures that this deck has the potential to survive in longer-lasting battles. With a high 140 HP and a solid 70 damage attack, this ex card is extremely important in allowing this duo to work.

This Deck Ensures That The Player Can Use The Duo Effortlessly And Effectively
In order for this duo to work together effectively, players need to use them in a strong Fire-type deck. Mythical Island Salazzle is a punchy Pokémon to run for this, being a quick and simple card to use. Salazzle’s attack, “Poison Claws”, hits for 30 damage and poisons the opponent's active Pokémon. This will be a useful tool in eliminating a low HP card early in the battle, ready for Pokémon Flute to revive it.
