Sentiment Is Turning On Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Premium Pass As Game Is Called “Boring”
Slow progression and a lack of content have made fans question whether the pass is worthwhile.
Just last week, one player analyzed the results of almost 30,000 TCG Pocket battles to find which decks had the highest success rate. Now, that same player, Reddit user -OA-, has done a deep dive into the results of one of the game’s most popular decks, Mewtwo ex, to see which card combinations make it most viable in the meta.
Building The Ultimate Mewtwo Ex Deck In Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket
OA’s research came about as they were surprised at just how badly the Mewtwo ex deck performed in their previous research. The deck fell into OA’s B-tier, finishing as the ninth-best overall deck, behind domination from Pikachu ex and Articuno ex.
This latest analysis first looked at the best non-Mewtwo ex Pokemon that should be included in the deck. Naturally, Ralts, Kirlia, and Gardevoir were there for their ability to generate energy for Mewtwo ex quickly. While most people run the deck with just Mewtwo ex and these three Pokemon, OA found that, actually, adding a standard Mewtwo, or a combination of Jynx and Kangaskhan, would “significantly increase the win rate of this archetype.”
They state that these additional cards work as a “shield,” allowing the player to build their Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir from the bench, at the maximum cost of one prize card.
Adding a standard Mewtwo, or a combination of Jynx and Kangaskhan, would ‘significantly increase the win rate of this archetype.’
OA then analyzed which item cards work best as part of the ultimate Mewtwo ex deck. They found that the ultimate combination ran with one Red Card, two Potion, and two Sabrina. Adding Giovanni, however, seemingly made the decks more unreliable.
Using their data, OA surmised that the following deck should see you to a win rate of over 60 percent.
