Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is getting a brand-new expansion very soon, allowing avid collectors everywhere to add even more to their collections. Known as Mythical Island, this set features many more beloved creatures, including fossils and multiple mythical Pokémon. Although the game is primarily catered towards collectors, those who enjoy battling have much to look forward to, thanks to one specific new card.
Although a Mew ex card already exists as a secret unlockable from the Genetic Apex set, this new one in Mythical Island is sure to catch the attention of players who specialize in using Psychic-type decks. Specifically, the fact that it is a strong ex-card with an incredibly new attack means that battles in TCG Pocket are about to get much more complicated. Those who love to battle will want to watch out for this specific card once it gets added to the game.
Mew Ex Uses Opponent’s Moves Against Them
Stealing The Opposing Pokémon’s Attacks
When Mew ex was revealed, many people immediately noticed what the card could do in terms of its battling capabilities. Although its first attack, Psyshot, is particularly unremarkable, its second attack made it instantly stand out. For three energy of any type, Genome Hacking allows Mew ex to use any of the opposing Active Pokemon’s attacks for itself, thereby using the opponent’s own moves against them.
The effectiveness of Genome Hacking entirely depends on what opponent Mew ex is up against. Players will need to ensure that they have good timing to avoid utilizing an opponent’s extremely weak attack at the wrong moment. Ultimately, Mew ex is clearly best utilized against decks that heavily rely on other strong ex cards, as those attacks are some of the strongest in the entire game, meaning that players should absolutely take advantage of them whenever possible.
