Before I start this article, I need to state the obvious: Almost every
Pokemon has a deck built around them. Raindance is the most popular, but
there is also Energy Burn, Damage Swap, Speedrill, Energy Trans, Toxic, Mimic
(Ditto and Clefable), and a ton of others. Granted some of these may only be
popular where I live but they still exist. OK, on with the article

If anyone subscribes to Nintendo Power magazine they most likely got a Promo
Mewtwo card. I am going to look at it in depth.

Nintendo Power Promo Mewtwo
HP: 60 (good but not as good as the Movie Mewtwo)
Retreat Cost:2 (a bit high)
Weakness: Psychic (standard on all Psy Pokemon other than the Gastly family)
Attacks:
Energy Control
1 Psy energy
Flip a coin. If heads, choose a basic energy card  attached to one of your
opponents Pokemon and attach it to another of your opponent's Pokemon of your
choice.

What I think
OK, this attack could be good, except for 2 reasons. 1- I dislike coin flips.
2- Your opponent may have all strong Pokemon, so you don't want to switch the
energy or it can be great if he has a porygon on his bench, which will never
likely happen. Not a great attack.
 
Telekinesis
3 Psy Energy
Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokemon. This attack does 30 damage to that
Pokemon. Don't apply weakness and resistance for this attack. (Any other
effects that would happen after applying weakness and resistance still
happen).

What I think
This is a great attack! It can hit anyone in the game, and lets you break the
psychic resistant Pokemon. The only thing I don't like is it is expensive and
energy picky so he is vulnerable to Energy Removal. He works well in a bench
killer deck.

Over all, this new Mewtwo is not as good as the Movie Promo Mewtwo in most
cases. However, I still think he deserves a place in your psy deck since psy
resistance doesn't bug him. The other problem is getting him. He is only
packaged with NP magazines so good trade skills will be needed to get more of
him.

My word of the day is junk, since my room is full of it.

Send all hate mail and death threats to the President or FBI. They would
love to hear from you.
