Its Ability

Power Saver

This Pokémon can't attack unless you have 4 or more Team Rocket's Pokémon in play.

Its attacks

Erasure Ball

160+

You may discard up to 2 Energy from your Benched Pokémon. This attack does 60 more damage for each card you discarded in this way.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Power Saver. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. A strength

    Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex runs it in 41 of the 41 lists we have read, seen across 39 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  4. A strength

    Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

  5. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  6. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,987 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
