If you’re aiming to develop the ultimate Mewtwo EX deck, here’s a detailed list of essential cards required:

Card	Importance	Explanation
Mewtwo EX	Essential	This card is the foundation of your deck, featuring powerful abilities for just two energy cost. Its four-energy attack can effectively counter any opponent’s EX or evolution card.
Jynx	Substitutable	A robust early-game card that can defend until you prepare Mewtwo. It’s effective against Pokémon that require many energy orbs.
Ralts	Useful	A supportive unit that can be deployed in the initial turns and then evolved during the mid- to late-game phases.
Kirlia	Useful	Functions similarly to Ralts, but should not be active until it evolves into Gardevoir.
Gardevoir	Excellent	A formidable mid-game evolution that serves as a perfect alternative if Mewtwo is low on energy or needs support.

This deck is exclusive to Mewtwo EX and does not work with the standard Mewtwo card. Ensure you verify this when engaging in multiplayer battles.

Optimal Trainer Cards for Mewtwo EX

Card	Importance	Explanation

Potion	Excellent	An effective item that can be used to heal your crucial Pokémon.
Professor’s Research	Substitutable	A handy card for quickly cycling back to your main Pokémon.
Poke Ball	Substitutable	Similar to Professor’s Research, but it draws one less card.
X Speed	Essential	An extremely valuable trainer card for switching your Active Pokémon once your core card is established.

Strategies for Utilizing Mewtwo EX in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Simply assembling your deck isn’t sufficient to secure victory in matches. You also need to strategize effectively during play to succeed in PvP contests. This involves a tripartite approach: managing your starting hand, establishing early game dynamics, and strategizing for the late game.

Initial Hand

For your opening five cards, aim to obtain these:

Mewtwo EX (critical)
Ralt (recommended)
Jynx or Kirlia

In addition to the cards mentioned above, trainer cards are also valuable for supporting your initial Pokémon setup.

Early Game Strategy

During the first five rounds, set up with a floater Pokémon like Jynx in the Active slot and Ralts positioned at the back. If Jynx is absent from your opening hand, you can start with Ralts.

Focus on evolving Ralts into Gardevoir as swiftly as possible while allocating energy orbs to your Active Pokémon, gradually transferring them to Mewtwo EX.

Late Game Strategy

As you transition into the late game post-round six, prioritize bringing Mewtwo EX into the active position. This can be achieved when your starting Pokémon is knocked out or if you possess the X Speed trainer card.

Once Mewtwo EX is active with at least two energy orbs, maximize its capability by using the Psydrive move to eliminate opponent EXs and evolved cards. If facing a low HP unit, dispatch them with Psychic Ball.

If you lack the full set for the optimal Mewtwo EX deck, consider these alternative cards you can incorporate temporarily until you gather the rest:

Card	Replacement For	Explanation
Drowzee	Ralt	A viable alternative to Ralt, able to act as a floater until it evolves into Hypno, making it a solid mid-game choice.
Hypno	Kirlia	Acts similarly to Kirlia, with a 50% probability of putting your opponent’s active Pokémon to sleep each turn.
Mr. Mime	Jynx	An alternative to Jynx, featuring an outstanding early-game move that reduces damage taken by 20 each turn.
Farfetch’d	Jynx	If Jynx or Mr. Mime is unavailable, Farfetch’d can serve as a strong option, delivering significant damage for only one energy orb, ideal for early-game scenarios.
