Turning Psy Shadow's Disadvantage into an Advantage

 

 Gardevoir's Pokepower: Psy Shadow lets you power up your pokemon quickly but at a cost of two damage on the pokemon. I've found an idea to use this damage as an additional damage. I was recently checking on the latest pokemon from the Team Rocket Returns expansion and a certain card caught my interest. It was Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex. This pokemon had an interesting attack, it was its Darkness Switch Attack. This attack lets you swap damage counter's with the Defending Pokemon by discarding one Psychic energy. What's that got to do with Gardevoir? If you have 3-4 gardevoirs you can have TR Mewtwo ex fully charged and with 80 damage to throw at your opponent's active pokemon. Another strategy is to have TR Mewtwo ex take the damage from your opponent's attacks (as long as it isn't knocked out) and use PsyShadow to adjust the damage for a one turn KO (since darkness switch requires one psychic energy). I've also thought of some other trainer combos with this existing combo like Team Rocket's Hideout (the new one) to hold more damage counters and even Revive for an instant 50 on  TR Mewtwo ex (or getting back TR Mewtwo if he gets killed by some lucky hit). Sorry for this really long tip, since this is my first time to submit one and I really wanted to  share some of my ideas. Thank you for reading this tip.
