Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocketcontinues to demand our attention, despite being released alongside other blockbuster titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This simplified version of the Pokemon TCG’s battle system makes it easier than ever to pick up the Pokemon TCG in a simplified format.
However, with a modified ruleset and reworks of the energy mechanic, Pokemon Pocket will require you to focus closely on deck building, as you’re limited to a maximum of 20 total cards. Luckily, the restrictions imposed make the game much simpler to pick up and learn, especially when youstart with a Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir deck.
What Cards Do You Need For A Mewtwo Ex & Gardevoir Deck?
As you might expect, theMewtwo pack in Genetic Apex is the first pack you should focus onto build a Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir deck in Pokemon Pocket.
Mewtwoand theGardevoirline are your main targets from the Mewtwo pack, along withGiovanni,if you decide to keep him in the deck.
You can useany version of Mewtwo exfor this deck, as each one offers the same battle stats, with the only differences lying in their appearances and rarity.

Building this exact deck may take time, and you might need to substitute cards, depending on what you do and don’t have access to.
Some possible replacement choicesinclude Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar ex if you’d like to reduce the reliance on certain trainer items, like Red Card. However, there are no other outstanding cards that currently fit this deck.
How To Play A Mewtwo Ex & Gardevoir Deck
The Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir deck focuses on capitalizing on the excellent partnership between Gardevoir and Mewtwo ex.
Mewtwo’s biggest downfall is itshigh energy costfor its best attack, Psydrive, which does150 damage but costs four energyto use and alsoforces you to discard two Psychic energiesafter your attack.
However, Gardevoir is a superb Psychic energy battery, as thePsy Shadowability allows Gardevoir to take onePsychic energy from your Energy Zoneand place it on thePokemon in the Active slot.
With this ability,Mewtwo will gain two energy every turn– one from Gardevoir, and another as usual from the energy pool.
Once Mewtwo hits four energy, it will be able toattack with Psydrive every turn,as long as you dedicate both energies to it.
You canplay Ralts or Kirlia in the Active slot firstif you want to annoy your opponent with damage while you wait to evolve into Gardevoir.
Once you get Mewtwo in the active slot and Gardevoir set up to support, it’s almost impossible to lose unless you make an error, or you’re attacked by something strong enough to deplete Mewtwo’s substantial 150 HP.
UseGiovannito improve your damage with weaker attacks while you set up, allowing you to stack chip damage on your opponent.
Lastly,Sabrinais your ace-in-the-hole, who will allow you to derail your opponent by sending their perfectly set-up card to their bench in exchange for another Pokemon.
This deck takes practice to masterhow and when to deploy your Pokemon, so give it some time to learn and you’ll be winning battles with ease.
