Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Mythical Island mini-set has introduced a handful of seriously powerful deck builds, but theMew ex deckis unlike the rest - it has incredible malleability, meaning there are umpteen reasonably viable ways to build it.
We’ve narrowed things down to the most prominent setup, which aims to ruin your opponent over time with poison damage via Weezing while you build up your Mew ex - and your opponent, meanwhile, potentially builds up theirownpowerful attack, which Mew ex will tap into in order to win you the game.
Mew ex and Weezing Deck
Mew ex x2
Weezing x2
Koffing x2
Koga x2
Sabrina x2
Poke Ball x2
Potion x2
In this version,Mew ex is joined by Weezing,which whittles the enemy down via the 30-damage, one-Energy, Tackle and (more importantly)the Gas Leak ability, which inflicts Poison.
As you build up your Mew ex, your Weezing(s) will perform thetriple task of stalling, poisoning for chip damage, and forcing your opponent to shuffle around their active Pokemonto prevent them from falling victim to the Poison ailment.
Weezing can quickly return to your hand thanks to theKogaSupporter card, which links up nicely withMew ex’s Budding ExpeditionerSupporter that does the same. In this fashion,the Mew ex/Weezing deck contains remarkably few Pokemon, but both are quite “bouncy”.
Further Mew ex Ideas
While the above idea is built around Mew ex, bear in mind thatMew ex can also be added to many decks in a more supportive fashion. Itsthree Colorless Energy costlets itslide into decks of any type with minimal friction.
This doesn’t necessarily make Mew ex ideal for every situation. Far from it; more focused decks that need to do one thing very well - which is to say, many of them - would get sidetracked.
Even so,any deck that can afford some flexibility, and has room to shake things up a bit, can benefit from Mew ex’s impeccable job at rewarding the fiercest enemies with a taste of their own medicine.
Mew ex works well inMewtwo exdecks, too. Get rid of Koffing, Weezing, and Druddigon; slot one in alongside the usual Mewtwo ex setup, which includes two of those plus theRalts line for Gardevoir’s ability to charge up Mewtwo’s Psydrive.
