I've had several people ask me to help them with mono-psy decks. Psychic
is truly powerful with more than enought Pokemon to choose from. Promo
Mewtwo, Mew, Mr. Mime, Alakazam, and the Gengar Line are all truly playable.
Yet no matter how you put them together, they all still struggle versus
resistance to Psychic.
A very cool deck I saw the other day tries to use the all out power of Mewtwo
yet has no problem with colorless decks. The idea is to use Dodrio to make
it easier to retreat Mewtwo when your opponent brings up a psychic resistant
Pokemon. With 2 Dodrio on the board, it becomes very easy to swap in/out
Pokemon to give you the advantage!
Here's my "fix"
4 doduo
3 dodrio
4 Mewtwo
4 Hitmonchan
4 Energy Removal
4 Plus Power
3 Bill
3 Computer Search
3 Professor Oak
3 Garbage Retrieval
2 Gust of Wind
2 Lass
7 Fighting Energy
14 Psychic Energy
Hope this helps...have fun!
