Inevitability is the word that best describes the Mewtwo ex deck. The strategy is straightforward: Mewtwo ex deals a respectable 50 damage with Psychic Sphere, then later transition to Psydrive, a 150-damage attack that can be used every turn thanks to a benched Gardevoir’s Psy Shadow ability for Energy support. Needless to say, this is enough to knock out most threats in the metagame.
With a top-tier 150 HP and quick setup, Mewtwo ex performs exactly as advertised—and does it very well.

Sabrina
A stock version of the list, aiming to optimize the search of a Ralts or a Mewtwo ex with Poké ball by playing no other basic Pokémon.
Giovanni will be primarily used to round out Psychic Sphere to a 60 damage which knocks out the most common Basic Pokémon in one hit. The ratio of Giovanni, Sabrina and Red Card is up to your discretion.
Weaknesses
Mewtwo ex’s success heavily depends on setting up Gardevoir as quickly as possible, as it is the condition to power up Psydrive every turn, and power up your Psychic Pokémon in general. While it’s possible to manage without Gardevoir, there’s a noticeable difference between games where it arrives by turn 3 and those where it comes late—if it even comes at all, assuming you can survive until then.
