Mew ex Card Overview

• HP: 130
• Attack (Psyshot): 20 damage (1 Psychic Energy)
• Attack (Genome Hacking): Copies one attack from your opponent's Active Pokémon. Works with all Energy types.
• Weakness: Dark-Type

Mew ex's 130 HP and ability to replicate opponent attacks make it a formidable tech card capable of neutralizing top-tier threats like Mewtwo ex. Its versatility extends beyond Psychic-type decks due to Genome Hacking's compatibility with all Energy types. Synergies with Budding Expeditioner (acting as a "free Retreat") and energy-supplying cards like Misty or Gardevoir further enhance its effectiveness.

The Best Deck for Mew ex

Currently, Mew ex shines brightest within a refined Mewtwo ex/Gardevoir deck. This strategy leverages Mew ex alongside Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir's evolutionary line, enhanced by Trainer cards like Mythical Slab and Budding Expeditioner.

Deck Synergies:

• Mew ex acts as a damage sponge and counter to enemy ex Pokémon.
• Budding Expeditioner facilitates Mew ex's retreat when Mewtwo ex is ready to attack.
• Mythical Slab improves the consistency of drawing Psychic-type cards.
• Gardevoir provides crucial Energy acceleration for Mew ex and Mewtwo ex.
• Mewtwo ex serves as the primary attacker.

How to Play Mew ex Effectively

1. Prioritize adaptability: Be prepared to switch Mew ex frequently. It can absorb damage early game while you set up your primary attacker, but be flexible if card draws aren't ideal.

2. Beware conditional attacks: Before copying an attack with Genome Hacking, ensure you meet any conditions. Don't blindly copy an attack that requires specific Pokémon on your bench if you don't have them.

3. Utilize Mew ex as a tech card: Don't rely solely on Mew ex for damage output. Its strength lies in its flexibility and ability to eliminate key threats. Sometimes, simply using its HP to soak damage is strategically sound.

How to Counter Mew ex

The most effective counter currently involves Pokémon with conditional attacks. For example, Pikachu ex's Circle Circuit is only powerful with Lightning-type Pokémon on the bench; Mew ex decks typically lack this. Other examples include Nidoqueen, whose attack is maximized with multiple Nidokings.

Another strategy is to use a tanky Pokémon with minimal damage as the Active Pokémon, denying Mew ex a worthwhile attack to copy.

Mew ex Deck Review

Mew ex is steadily impacting the Pokémon Pocket meta. While a Mew ex-centric deck may not be optimal, its inclusion in established Psychic-type decks provides a significant advantage. Experimentation with Mew ex is highly recommended for competitive players.
