Although the main card of this deck is Mewtwo ex, the key card to enable Mewtwo and deal damage is Gardevoir. This is because of its ability Psy Shadow, which can attach one extra Psychic Energy to your active Pokemon per round. This takes care of Mewtwo ex's drawback of losing two energy after every attack.

Mewtwo ex requires four energy (two Psychic, two Colorless) for Psydrive, however, it loses two energy after the attack. As such, on your next turn, you can attach one energy generated naturally, and Gardevoir will generate one more energy. This will give it four energy to use Psydrive once again.

Setting up Ralts and evolving it to Gardevoir as early as possible is key to succeeding with this Mewtwo ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Mewtwo ex deck: Best starting hand

The best starting hand would be Mewtwo ex, Ralts or Kirlia, and Professor's Research. You can put Mewtwo down on the board immediately and start building its energy. If you have Ralts, put all of them on your bench, and use the Professor's Research to draw Rare Candy and Gardevoir.

Sabrina, Cyrus and Red are your trump cards. Use them to either buff yourself and force a win or wrench your opponent's plans to rid you of Mewtwo ex. You must ensure that Mewtwo ex stays safe. Once it is set up, there is very little your opponent can do to turn the tides.
