The Pokemon TCG Pocket Mewtwo ex deck has quickly shot up to become one of the best decks in the game. It’s hit the S-tier meta as a result of Mewtwo pairing very effectively with Gardevoir, who can supply it with free energy and rapidly power up its devastating Psydrive.Mewtwo ex is also one of the comparatively cheaper decks in the meta to put together, as while it does require two copies of the card to run effectively, most of the best decks have far more “Ex” cards involved than this. This almost makes this a budget deck to some degree - call it somewhere between a budget and expensive option, generally.And not only that, but there’s more options. If you don’t have Gardevoir cards or just want to experiment, we’ve put together several Mewtwo ex decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket for you to try out, including cards like Hypno and Weezing. Yes, there’s validity in a dual-type Psychic/Dark deck - but we get ahead of ourselves.The best Mewtwo ex decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket meta(Image credit: The Pokemon Company)The best Mewtwo ex decks in Pokemon TCGP that we’ve seen so far are in the following order:Best deck:Mewtwo ex / Gardevoir (Psychic)Mewtwo ex / Weezing (Psychic/Dark)Mewtwo ex / Hypno (Psychic)The first of these is definitely the best one and has claimed the S-tier ranking in ourPokemon TCG Pocket best decks tier list, but it’s dependent on you being able to acquire two Gardevoirsandtwo Mewtwo exs, so we understand if that’s not immediately an option.

Discard two, get two back. Until that point, however, you need to play for time, using Sabrina and Red Cards to throw off your opponent’s strategy until Mewtwo is in play with at least two energy.Mewtwo ex and Weezing deck(Image credit: The Pokemon Company)This hybrid Psychic/Dark-type deck uses the same methods as similarly constructedPokemon TCG Pocket Dragonite deck, as we’ll explain below.Mewtwo exx2Koffingx2Weezingx2Kogax2Potionx2X Speedx2Poke Ballx2Red Cardx1Professor’s Researchx2Sabrinax2Giovannix1The goal here is to immediately put Koffing/Weezing as your active Pokemon, as they’re cheap and tanky, so Mewtwo can sit on the bench and slowly be charged with energy - then you use Koga to simply lift Weezing off the field and put Mewtwo into the active position. The downside is that you can’t fire off Psydrive every turn, and the introduction of Dark energy means you might struggle to get the Psychic power that Mewtwo needs. Still, it’s effective when done right.Mewtwo ex and Hypno deck(Image credit: The Pokemon Company)This deck is back to pure Psychic typing, as now Mewtwo ex has freedom to be in either the active slot or bench slot while Hypno suppresses the enemy with sleeping effects. Here’s the build you should aim for:Mewtwo exx2Drowzeex2Hypnox2Potionx2X Speedx2Poke Ballx2Red Cardx2Professor’s Researchx2Sabrinax2Giovannix2Drowzee and Hypno can also hold up as decent fighters while you wait to draw Mewtwo ex, but honestly the key here, as with the other two decks, is delaying tactics to set up the Psydrive attack. Get Hypno out fast and start knocking out the opponent’s Pokemon - it’s a coin-flip chance of working every time, but it only has to work until Mewtwo is ready.If you’re short of any of the above cards in any deck build shown and need a solid substitution, I recommend Jynx,whose attack does an extra 30 damage for every energy the enemy Pokemon has on them (making it great for hurting powerful Pokemon).Alternatively, Clefairy, Clefable, Slowpoke and Slowbro are all cheap Pokemon with that tanky quality you need to buy time for Mewtwo’s grand reveal.

The Pokemon TCG Pocket Mewtwo ex deck has quickly shot up to become one of the best decks in the game. It’s hit the S-tier meta as a result of Mewtwo pairing very effectively with Gardevoir, who can supply it with free energy and rapidly power up its devastating Psydrive.
Mewtwo ex is also one of the comparatively cheaper decks in the meta to put together, as while it does require two copies of the card to run effectively, most of the best decks have far more “Ex” cards involved than this.

The most powerful Mewtwo deck in Pokemon at time of writing, you can build this deck with the following cards:
The goal here is touse Gardevoir’s Psy Shadow to provide free energy to the active Pokemon, which should be Mewtwo ex.This means you can divert two energy to Mewtwo every turn, which should allow you to use Psydrive every time! Discard two, get two back. Until that point, however, you need to play for time, using Sabrina and Red Cards to throw off your opponent’s strategy until Mewtwo is in play with at least two energy.
Mewtwo ex and Weezing deck

This hybrid Psychic/Dark-type deck uses the same methods as similarly constructedPokemon TCG Pocket Dragonite deck, as we’ll explain below.
The goal here is to immediately put Koffing/Weezing as your active Pokemon, as they’re cheap and tanky, so Mewtwo can sit on the bench and slowly be charged with energy - then you use Koga to simply lift Weezing off the field and put Mewtwo into the active position.
