A variation of this exact deck actually features as our number 1 best build in Pokemon TCG Pocket, too, and it focuses almost entirely on getting the Mewtwo ex into play to destroy your opponents with Psydrive, which deals 150 damage.
Utilizing Sabrina effectively allows you to bring your opponents cards into play before they’re ready, so early game should have a heavy focus on applying Energy to your Mewtwo if possible, before bringing him in and giving yourself a shot at knocking down your opponents Pokemon efficiently.
There is some variation available to this deck if you want to make changes, though. For example, some players will opt for an extra Mewtwo, in which case you could remove one of the Potions or a Sabrina. Others might prefer to throw something different in, such as a Jynx, which can deal great damage if you’re taking on an opponent stacked with Energy.
Overall, if you’re looking to maximize your chances of winning any given battle, some variation of this Mewtwo x Gardevoir deck will be your best bet. That said, there is a wild Charizard x Moltres x Arcanine deck that goes off-script and might just be even stronger in the right hands.
