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.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- It has an Ability, Power Saver. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
- Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex runs it in 40 of the 40 lists we have read, seen across 38 different tournaments.
- It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
- Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- 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.
- 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.
- Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,240 tournament lists we have read, 1,951 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
