Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Psychic 3 Energy20 damage for 3 Energy — 7 per Energy card20

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (20).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Psychic is printed as 20+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

Is Mewtwo 56 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

18 of the 87 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Every card below carries the same Pokédex number as this one, so they are the same Pokémon printed as different cards — different stages, different mechanics and different names all sit in this group.

Which rules apply to Mewtwo 56, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

Rulebook clauses that apply to Mewtwo 56
Clause	What the rulebook says	Cards it applies to	Share of the archive

Energy per turn	You can attach Energy just once each turn!	17,180 cards	84.0%

Counted across 20,444 English cards. A clause applies to this card because the card carries the property the clause names, not because we judged it to.

Mewtwo 56 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Psychic, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 7 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 10,622 of 17,290

Psychic cardsNo. 1,349 of 2,334

Expedition Base SetNo. 59 of 136

What actually removes it

A Psychic attack printed at 35 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 70 HP.
992 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 86 cards in one attack.

Mewtwo 56 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Mewtwo 56?

Mewtwo 56 has 70 HP and a Psychic weakness at ×2, so a Psychic attack printed at 35 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 70.

What is the strongest attack on Mewtwo 56?

Psychic, printed at 20 damage for 3 Energy — 7 damage per Energy card. This attack does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Mewtwo 56?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the + after the damage on Psychic mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "This attack does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon."

Can an older Mewtwo print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 87 prints listed on this page, 18 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Mewtwo 56 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Mewtwo 56 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
