Ultimate Guide to Crafting the Top Psychic Deck

Select Language:

In Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, Psychic-type decks have gained immense popularity in competitive play—and for legitimate reasons. Centered on the incredible abilities of Mewtwo ex, this deck can quickly take down opponents with little effort. The main rival to this strategy is the Pikachu ex deck, which is formidable in its own right.

Nonetheless, a well-developed game plan allows this Psychic deck to stand strong against any challenger. To excel in battles within TCG Pocket, it is crucial to achieve a balance between Pokémon and Supporter cards, and this deck successfully accomplishes that. Equipped with two cards featuring essential abilities, along with one capable of considerable damage, this deck showcases the ultimate potential of the Psychic Genetic Apex cards.

Top Cards for a Psychic-Type Deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Mewtwo Ex Supported by Two Powerful Pokémon

This deck revolves around effectively utilizing TCG Pocket‘s Mewtwo ex, recognized as one of the premier Genetic Apex cards in the game. With the attack “Psydrive,” it can inflict a staggering 150 points of damage in a single move. This is a significant amount, capable of eliminating multiple cards in play. Mewtwo ex is a basic card that can enter the Active Spot right from the start, boasting 150 HP to absorb initial attacks. After just two Psychic Energy cards are attached, it can begin delivering damage, starting with an attack of 50 damage from “Psychic Sphere.”

However, Mewtwo ex’s impressive 150-damage attack requires you to discard two Psychic Energy cards, making the inclusion of Gardevoir vital. Gardevoir comes equipped with an ability named “Spy Shadow,” enabling you to supply Psychic Energy to the Pokémon in your Active Spot. This capability accelerates the setup needed for “Psydrive” and helps you take down opponents swiftly. Additionally, this ability allows you to launch attacks each turn by leveraging energy naturally accumulating in your energy zone.

Hypno serves as a robust option to round out your deck. With the help of both Hypno and its prior evolution, Drowzee, you can absorb damage while waiting for Mewtwo ex to be drawn. Hypno offers an important ability called “Sleep Pendulum,” which allows you to flip a coin for a chance to put your opponent’s Active Pokémon to sleep, offering extra protection for Mewtwo ex. You can place this Pokémon on your bench and activate its ability each turn, making it a cost-effective option.

Supporter Cards Shield the Star of the Deck from Early Knockouts

Supporter cards play a crucial role in this deck when battling real opponents. Sabrina allows you to force your opponent to swap out their Active Pokémon, offering you a more advantageous matchup. Utilize this strategy particularly against high HP ex cards, especially at the beginning of the match before Mewtwo ex has gained enough energy.
