adding the basic non EX mewtwo to my deck has been the best decision for me. i feel like it makes the deck so much more consistent. it stalls for a long time and gives you more time to ramp up your EX mewtwo on the bench while also stalling to seek out the gardevoir evolutions. i started winning so much more consistently with it. sometimes it even stays alive long enough for it to start pumping damage and becomes a threat on its own.
also i wish volkin talked about the meowth version of the mewtwo deck. using pay day to draw more cards seems like a good tool to get your gardevoir up faster, i never tried it myself tho so i was hoping to get a bit more insight on it.
Meowth version of GardeMewtwo folds to basically any fast deck (Pikachu ex, Articuno ex), loses in general to a mirror without a meowth even with draw consistency. In fact it makes the matchup against existing counters (Wheezing Arbok) much worse. In fact because it is an additional basic it was significantly less consistent than literally putting in the 40HP item holders that do nothing. Non EX mewtwo is still the more consistent variant because your goal is to add an additional wall that can still work by itself if gardevoir comes online.
@@xOscarAx the chance of drawing meowth as your only opening basic ruins that deck. If you keep it to just ralts and Mewtwo I've rarely seen anyone need additional card draw.
Anything Short of an actual, absolute brick of a start results in a win for me because of this Mewtwo. In fact, I've never lost a single game outside of bricks which consisted of Ralts and random, needless starting/drawing cards. Pikachu decks are fodder with the extra wall
Same. manage to get one just yesterday. been opening those pikachu packs since the game first came out and was oversaturated with Japanese players. haven’t gotten 1 gold yet. I’ve been opening lotta packs at the starts now to opening 2-3 times a day. no god packs either.
The problem with these results are that there is so much RNG involved in this game, it's hard to be competitive. A Charizard player who draws all the combo pieces and get at least 2 heads the first two turns on a Moltres will absolutely destroy any deck. A pikaex deck with a bad start will lose most times or not going against Mewtwo especially. A Mewtwo without it's battery can lose to pikaex relatively quickly. Too much luck involved to have a meaningful competition.
@@Trujones true but its rng and too simple. the game needs more complexity. most of the time you can tell from who goes second and starting hand who is going to win thats how simple it is lol. or like 4-5 turns ahead.
All of Pokémon combat in most almost every game has rng, they love the simple rng to get you tight; mind you I play competitive main pokemon games for like 10 years
if there is no rng, charaizard will be the top of it. every game. the reason its too strong because it has inconsistency in it. well it wil be a bit better with upcoming cards for sure.
I don’t think the format will provide a good competitive format given its current rules. I think shifting to 4 prize points would be a good start. 4 prize makes standard Pokemon more valuable and un incentivises running just ex Pokemon. Ex Pokemon have no downside once you have more than two currently since if you loose an ex you might aswell go into a second ex since it’s stronger than a generic Pokemon.
The Mewtwo List is a relatively "old" one. You can tech regular Mewtwo for the extra Basic or not use it at all and still see a good result just based on the deck itself being good. The Pika list was the one that made me lift an eyebrow specifically due to how bad I feel Raichu is without the extra setups. It's the Charizard of the element; Very powerful, can KO 95% of the game once setup, but overall weak due to the amount of specific moments it needs to thrive in comparison to other cards. I cannot wait to see what support they bring to the game to assist decks that are struggling in the meta (Charizard Deck is in a lot of A Tier lists from what I've seen despite how "bad" it is atm) become more consistent and what other Trainer Cards will be implemented. Having Sabrina represent "Boss' Orders" is so fkn clutch
Raichu will get knocked off quickly by a better electric card eventually; but for now its more reliable then Zapdos for taking out walls like Venusaur or potentially one shotting mew two with giovanni. Plus solid hp and a 1 retreat cost it works pretty good i tried this decklist and I liked it but I prefer to cut the Zapdos entirely.
@jjay2771 See, ironically i love how Zapdos functions in that deck. I don't like any of the coin flips (never have in TCG either lol) due to inconsistency. But I can see the choice to run Raichu over Zapdos. Not my cup of tea when approaching Electric but I'm always interested in other cards shining in a TCG
Mine is Dragonite and the snomoth that puts them to sleep until i get dragonite energized. The only other pokemon i run is meowth for card draw to get dragonite
A point i dont see anyone bringing up with Mewtwo is that the deck is easy to build and only needs 2Exs. I built it with my 1st 20 pack on a account then re rolled and built it on 25 (no money spent). Chari, Blast and Venu all have to go into other packs to fully build, requires two more ExMon and if you want the ZapPika Deck you need 4 Exs. It involves the least luck in my opinion
Charizard deck struggles because it replies on evolution. Pikachu EX should have never been a Basic Pokemon, it should evolve from Pichu because that deck is brain dead easy and can wipe in turn 2. All it needs is a full bench. As much as we hate Mewtwo deck it’s fair because it relies on Gardevior. It will struggle without getting the full Gardevior most times. The meta is basically strong hitting Basic Pokemon. Evolution decks such as Venusaur and Charizard only wins when the opposing Mewtwo or Pikachu deck didn’t get good draws. Otherwise Evo decks will lose to Mewtwo and Pika. More so Pika.
Tbf misty starmie can do it in turn 2. Pikachu cannot do it in turn 2, it's >2 (total game turns) since it needs 2 energy and electric has no support card like misty, moltres, gardy etc.
@@johnmarksmithmiller9895I mean mewtwo hits hard for 2 energy, has a lot of health and doesn't require a full bench of a specific type, soooo...it also has a support pokemon in gardy, which you don't need to win, but if you do have that set up then you're hitting 150s really quickly.
Well, our ancestors chose capitalism over fairness. Jokes aside, this game, even though I love it, is a glorified gacha, so we shouldn't be surprised when it is difficult for F2P
Mewtwo was never that good for me. So many times Gardevoir is stuck at the back of the deck any time you depend on a 3 stage evolution it's not that good in this game
It's true that it's not as consistent as a deck with no Stage 2 at all like Pikachu ex, but I think it's the most consistent deck in the game of any that does have Stage 2. A Mewtwo without a Gardevoir is miles better than a Moltres without a Charizard.
The big difference between the mewtwo and charizard is that when you brick and don't get Gardevoir online you can still build mewtwo meanwhile with Charizard deck if you brick and don't get the charizard line you can almost never win with moltres. One on one Charizard is more likely to win against mewtwo but mewtwo is more consistent. Mewtwo is probably the most consistent deck having a roughly 50% win rate against everything that isn't a dark deck
idk if my luck is garbage or what, but in the first 5 turns the mewtwo decklist will give me every single potion and x speed i have, with absolutely nothing else.
Game is boring af right now. I’m so tiered of only seeing Pikachu EX. I love the game but making us wait till December for a small set is not the move. Only battles I’m doing now is with friends because I don’t wanna fight the exact same decks over and over again
Imo the Game is way to much RNG sided at the moment. Every time I see a Articuno / water Energy Deck and Misty I am rolling my eyes because it is the most unsatisfying way to lose, when you see 2-3 heads. On the other hand when they only Hit tails you are still in a Bad Situation because second Misty Not far away...every other Energy ability feels fine atm.
I just insta quit whenever I face pika decks. At least against mewtwo they might not pull the evolution line, but with pika it's braindead easy guaranteed sweep by turn 2 every single time.
LoL , i cant find Zapdos to save my life so i was running te raichu version of the Pika deck since the start, i was outsmarting the meta sice the start😂
If you're talking about the daily crate in the shop, its contents are already shown next to it and those go directly into the inventory without needing to open the crate.
And people mocked me for the pika build I run 🤣 I do have almost all the ‘meta’ decks. Games all RNG tho. Run a clarity clefable in with my Mewtwo/Gard build
Winning with a bog standard Mewtwo deck is the laziest thing ever. Oh wow, you evolved Gardevoir? Then you clicked Psychic Drive a lot? Geez, you really deserved to win, unlike all the dozens of other people doing the exact same thing
I kind of had a feeling Mewtwo ex was going to be the best deck in the game. I personal play Pikachu ex and I really hate how Pikachu ex's damage relies solely based on how many benched pokemon you have. It's damage is too inconsistent. Whereas Mewtwo can just place two psychic type energy on to itself and then start poking for 50. I also hate how much energy Zapdos ex and Raichu need to start attacking for big damage. And the fact that this deck doesn't have any good energy turbo means you gotta hope you draw an optimal hand. I really hate it when I draw no Pikachu ex turn 1 and then have to put a Zapdos in the active spot. Because now I have to have an x speed in my hand or else I'm playing catch up with my opponent. And playing catch up is not good for this deck because all of the Pokemon in Pikachu ex decks have below average HP when compared to the rest of the meta. Mewtwo is just so tanky for a basic pokemon and can start poking for two energies. Once Gardevoir is set up, it's almost always GG. And since the Mewtwo deck doesn't need to run so many pokemon, it can afford to run more powerful trainer cards like Sabrina. I really hate it when I draw in to Raichu and Zapdos because I can't do anything with them until they have 3 energies attached. And even if that happens, Raichu discards all of its energy after the attack and Zapdos completely relies on luck I believe that the only reason Pikachu ex was so good at the beginning of this games release was because A) not enough people played it yet, meaning not enough experimenting going on B) everybody was too scared to experiment with different strategies (just take a look at Arcane ex. Everybody said it was the worst ex card and now it's getting placements higher than Charizard ex) C) people just became lazy. They didn't want to experiment with different ideas because of laziness. Now that there are tournaments and prestige, people are beginning to test new cards and strategies. I knew Pikachu ex was going to fall off the fastest between all the meta cards, but I didn't expect it to be sooner than the release of the next expansion.
@itsmesteve1081 funny enough mewtwo isn't the best deck in the game. It easily gets destroyed by tentacruel/Oma , sandslash/marowak, weezing/arbok. Tentacruel/Oma with decent rng with second turn start is pretty much undefeatable, even Charizard ex with good rng is going to get destroyed by it.
De qué rayos estás hablando? Pikachu sigue siendo el mejor deck del juego, en cualquiera de sus versiones. Daño inconsistente? Eso será si solo juegas dos Pokémon eléctricos 😂 el mazo de Pikachu suele jugar al menos 7 u 8 Pokémon básicos, lo cual asegura poder llenar la banca. Eres medio tontito no?
getting real tired of these pokemon wannabe youtubers posting everything as "the new meta" because they won a few games just mixing and matching different pokemon/evolution lines together. Its all luck in what cards you draw and who sets up faster.
El meta está basado en la recopilación de estadísticas de muchas partidas, generalmente de torneos. Hay una razón real para estas tier, no seas tan imbécil
Yes because top performers in every card game who consistently finish well are just the luckiest people in history. Has nothing to do with deck/card choice or decision making. I agree
@@johnmarksmithmiller9895 apply poison with tentacruel and swap out to omastar. 70 dmg hit and prevents active from attacking next turn. Forces them to either retreat or end turn while poison wittles away their hp.
All the decks are exactly the same just swap out the wall. Can’t wait to we get another box or two so we can have a bit more diversity. Shoot I’m over her coming up with my own teams myself to see what else can rise up and not be a copy cat.
Honestly i used the Mewto & Guardevoir with "baby mewto" List and the only decks i lost to was those annoying pikachu&Raichu's. Matchup goes like this : pikachu going second you try to wall with Baby mewto. And build up your Mewto in the Back You can only build it in the front if you don't have another mewtu or have guardevoir on curve going second. , if he sabrinas, throw in your other Ralts/kirlia and play a Double sacrifice line to have any chance of winning. Keep in mind that chip damage on your mewto with energy will loose you the game if he has another Pikachu EX on the bench. Once you sacrificed 2 pokemons you can oneshot Pikachu EX and well after that they usually kill you with 3 energy on Raichu + giovanni or its up to the fate of Zapdos coinflips. If you play it like this than hold your redcard for the moment your powered up 4 energy mewto comes in (do not play/have another pokemon on the bench at this time) Other wise you loose to sabrina and a second powered up pikachu/zapdos or Raichu + L.TSurge If you go second , you can than attach the 5. Energy to your mewto and that's how you can win if you don't have guardevoir going second.

You can only build it in the front if you don't have another mewtu or have guardevoir on curve going second.
, if he sabrinas, throw in your other Ralts/kirlia and play a Double sacrifice line to have any chance of winning. Keep in mind that chip damage on your mewto with energy will loose you the game if he has another Pikachu EX on the bench.
Once you sacrificed 2 pokemons you can oneshot Pikachu EX and well after that they usually kill you with 3 energy on Raichu + giovanni
or its up to the fate of Zapdos coinflips.
If you play it like this than hold your redcard for the moment your powered up 4 energy mewto comes in (do not play/have another pokemon on the bench at this time)
Other wise you loose to sabrina and a second powered up pikachu/zapdos or Raichu + L.TSurge
If you go second , you can than attach the 5. Energy to your mewto and that's how you can win if you don't have guardevoir going second.
Thank you
NOT EVEN A STARMIE OMG
Ex spamming is embarrassing
GWAAHHH
as a free to play player , my ninetail/blaine is a match up to every meta in the game :D
Melmetal is S+ tier
Sí, pero en tus sueños 😂
Volk do you think they will go Gen 2 Gen 3 etc? And do you think they will do ranked tournaments in the future? Can I get a shoutout? lol
i think they will follow the generations in bulk with other bonuses like they did in genetic apex
Here i am just patiently waiting to play a Sinistcha/ Polteageist deck. Oh, also Weezing/ Tyranitar deck when gen2 hits next.
I DESTROY HER FIRST, SHE WAS EASY!
U dont need a Brain for Mewtu Decks, it plays in its own lol nö skill needed
Típico comentario de noob que pierde todas sus partidas
I FELT THIS
Nah Marowak EX is the goat
My Omastar/Starmie Deck sweeps both pikachu and mewtwo decks 🤷♂️
No. Everyone run the same 4 decks. Stop writing such trash in title or thumbnail. No card changed, why the meta should shift into garbage
Ahora dilo sin llorar
@ ebeniskim
who cares.....no ranked and same meta from day 1....boring game no updates no nerfs no buffs
El juego tiene menos de un mes de haber salido, gilipollas, qué, esperas que el meta cambie cada 3 días o que rayos, maldito anormal
if you use the mewtwo deck you are subhuman
