Team Rocket's Mimikyu
Team Rocket's Mimikyu has appeared in several sets: Destined Rivals (DRI 87) and Ascended Heroes (ASC 97). It is the same card every time — it plays the same, only the artwork and the price change. Here is what it does once it is on the table.
What the card itself says
Everything below is written on the card itself: how much health it has, what it fears, and what its attacks cost.
ITS ATTACKS
What to make of it
Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
- Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex runs it in 21 of the 21 lists we have read, seen across 21 different tournaments.
- It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
- Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 1,386 tournament lists we have read, 852 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
