Is Rocket's Mewtwo ex 99 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 70 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Rocket's Mewtwo ex 99 strong for a ex card?

ex cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

What does being a Darkness card do for Rocket's Mewtwo ex 99?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Deals double to this card 2,335 Psychic cards carry that type A Psychic attack printed at 50 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

Of the 857 cards in the archive that can remove Rocket's Mewtwo ex 99 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Is this the strongest Rocket's Mewtwo print, and can the older ones still be played?

12 prints carry this name in the archive, and 8 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (280 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Rocket's Mewtwo ex 99 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, Psyburn, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 18 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. 6,636 of 17,290

Darkness cardsNo. 580 of 1,248

ex cardsNo. 876 of 942

Team Rocket ReturnsNo. 8 of 97

What actually removes it

A Psychic attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
862 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 710 cards in one attack.
