What do the attacks on Mew ex 205 cost, and what do they hit for?
Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genome Hacking | 3 Colorless | 3 | — | — | Choose 1 of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks and use it as this attack. |
This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.
The Energy this 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.

Back to summaryWhat Mew ex 205 does without attacking
Mew ex 205 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.
Why this sits apart from the attacks
An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.
Restart can only be used once a turn
The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.
Is Mew ex 205 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.
The group is every ex card in the archive — 942 of them. Each figure is compared with what that group typically prints, not with the archive as a whole.
What does being a Psychic card do for Mew ex 205?
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.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic — this card | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |
| Water | 14.1% | 2,435 cards |
| Colorless | 12.6% | 2,173 cards |

| Dragon | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 cards |
Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Psychic weakness.
What being a Psychic card is worth
Groups that most often print a Psychic weakness: Psychic (2,335 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Psychic cards are themselves most exposed to Darkness.
What knocks out Mew ex 205 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Darkness attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 90 printed damage rather than 180.
90 damage becomes 180 against this card
Mew ex 205180 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 393 cards in the archive that can remove Mew ex 205 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 90 printed damage against a bar of 90. 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.
Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.
What the Fighting resistance changes
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.
| Card | Set | HP | Printed damage | After weakness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (126) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (225) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (226) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Mega Sableye & Tyranitar-GX (245) | Unified Minds | 280 | 250 | 500 |
| Drapion VSTAR (119) | Lost Origin | 270 | 250 | 500 |
| Drapion VSTAR (200) | Lost Origin | 270 | 250 | 500 |
180 HP against a Darkness ×2 weakness means any Darkness attack printed at 90 damage or more is enough. 394 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Mew as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Mew ex 205 is one print of Mew. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.
Every Mew print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryWhat has to be in play before Mew ex 205 can be?
Mew ex evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
- Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 151.
Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.
Is this the strongest Mew print, and can the older ones still be played?
61 prints carry this name in the archive, and 48 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.
48 rows are shown of the 61 prints counted under this name.

Back to summaryWhat can you use instead of Mew ex 205?
Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

Which rules apply to Mew ex 205, and where can it be played?

The rule printed on this card
“Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.”
Prize cards your opponent takes when it is knocked out

Which generation of cards does Mew ex 205 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.
8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.
The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Mew ex 205 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.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Darkness attack printed at 90 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 180 HP.
- 394 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.
