Konnichi Wa ^_^!  Here is my review of the Promo Mewtwo you get for watching
that God awful movie.



Mewtwo

HP 70
Energy Absorption :  P= Choose up to 2 energy cards from your discard pile
and attach them to Mewtwo.
Psyburn: PPC= 40 Damage
Weakness: Psy
Resistance: None
Retreat cost: CC


For a violent guy, he sure has some weak attacks.  First off the HP is
perfect for your first Basic.

His first attack  Energy Absorption allows you to pick off any 2 energy in
your discard pile.  This is really useful in the Energy removal environment
we are in, until that Trainer comes out that somewhat prevents it in the
future set.  This move can be abused especially if you have an Oak or a CPU
search in your hand.  First attach a Psy energy and use Oak or CPU search to
discard the rest of the energy from your hand.  Then play that Japanese
Schoolgirl known as Lass…(err… if you think this card is still useless
ignore this step) to knock out all the Energy removals or switches from
their hands.  Actually if you played a Rain Dance deck, you don’t have to
worry about that second turn Blastoise now huh?  3rd step is playing Energy
Absorption to get those energy back.  Once you think about it, Energy
Absorption saves you about 3 turns.  The Lass at least makes sure your
opponent’s Squirtle stays a Squirtle on the next turn…if your lucky^_~!

Second attack is a straight 40 damage thing.  Even though Kadabra (base set)
does 50 for the same amount damage, you must remember that Mewtwo is a Basic
and not 1 stage.  If giving Mewtwo 50 damage instead of his 40, this would
immediately  make him a broken card. If not broken a seriously sought after
card. The 4th step is doing 40 damage on the second turn. The only reason
this Mewtwo sucks is when you have all energy and one Mewtwo as your opening
hand. There is no way this pokemon is gonna retaliate in time.

Weakness, Resistance, & Retreat Cost:  His weakness is still lame and I
don’t know why Media Factory even gave Psy Pokemon a weakness to themselves.
  Com’on it’s bad enough a JigglyPuff can take out a Mewtwo!  Resistance is
up in the air so there is none.  His retreat cost is high cause of his Built
in Energy Retrieval.

Rating for Promo Mewtwo: 4 out of 5
