Best Mew ex Decks

Mew ex Deck Variants	Strengths and Weaknesses
Giratina ex and Mew ex Deck [★ Best ★]	Strengths: • Mew ex can tank a few hits, and get scooped up with Budding Expeditioner. • Giratina ex can be set up even quicker because you can also manually attach Psychic Energy to it. Weaknesses: • Weak to Dark-type Pokemon with cheap attack costs. • Chaotic Impact also damages Giratina ex, making it easier to KO.

Giratina ex and Mew ex Deck

Mew ex ×2	Giratina ex ×2	Sabrina ×1	Budding Expeditioner ×2
Giant Cape ×2	Rocky Helmet ×2	Cyrus ×1	Red ×2
Potion ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

This deck uses Mew ex to take hits for the first few turns as well as an attacker whenever it can, which becomes more effective when facing Pokemon with high-damage Attacks, while Giratina ex generates energy on the Bench.

Once Giratina ex is ready, Mew ex can be scooped back up to your hand with Budding Expeditioner, allowing you to send in Giratina ex without spending on retreat costs while also keeping Mew ex from getting KOd.

Dialga ex and Mew ex are joined by Yanmega ex, who is a powerful Grass-type Attacker introduced in Space-Time Smackdown. It notably has a Colorless Attack Cost, which means it can benefit from Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo. It can also OHKO Darkrai ex unless it has a Giant Cape.

120 damage is also a great damage benchmark to hit, as Yanmega ex can also OHKO Pikachu ex and Pachirisu ex.

Dawn ×2	Adaman ×1	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2

Kirlia ×1	Sabrina ×1	Leaf ×2	Pokemon Communication ×1
Giant Cape ×2	Rare Candy ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Gardevoir's Psy Shadow can generate extra Psychic Energy from the Bench, accelerating Mew ex and Mewtwo ex's set-up.

Arcanine ex and Moltres ex Deck

Sabrina ×1	Budding Expeditioner ×1	Leaf ×2	Pokemon Center Lady ×1
Red ×1	X Speed ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Moltres ex powers up Arcanine ex in this deck, an attacker that does not require you to discard Energy, but damages itself whenever it attacks.

Do remember that Moltres ex cannot accelerate Energy to Mew ex because it is not a Fire-type Pokemon, so you will need to commit to attaching Energy to it for three turns if you want to make use of Genome Hacking.

Sabrina ×2	Budding Expeditioner ×2	Leaf ×1	Giant Cape ×1
Rocky Helmet ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Weezing exerts pressure for opponents to constantly switch out their Pokemon through inflicting Poison. It also provides chip damage and functions as a wall while Mew ex is being set up in the Bench.

When Mew ex is ready, it can be used as a main attacker, using Genome Hacking to KO ex Pokemon.

Mew ex ×1	Bastiodon ×2	Dialga ex ×2	Leaf ×2
Armor Fossil ×2	Pokemon Communication ×1	Giant Cape ×2	Dawn ×2
Rare Candy ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Bastiodon is a difficult Pokemon to go up against once set up, and oftentimes players concede at the sight of it. Its Guarded Grill Ability makes it very difficult to KO.

Mew ex is also in this list because of its synergy with Dialga ex. Its Genome Hacking allows it to KO the likes of Palkia ex or Charizard ex.

Mew ex ×2	Togepi ×2	Togetic ×2	Togekiss ×2
Mythical Slab ×2	Pokemon Communication ×2	Giant Cape ×2	Cynthia ×2
Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

This deck revolves around Togekiss as the main attacker. It is able to consistently deal 120 damage as long as it attacks consecutively, and it has access to Cynthia's boost.

Mew ex can be used as an early game attacker while Togekiss is still being set up in the Bench. However, the player may also use it to KO powerful ex Pokemon that Togekiss cannot deal with.

Porygon-Z ×2	Leaf ×1	Pokemon Communication ×1	Giant Cape ×2
Mars ×2	Rare Candy ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Porygon-Z is a highly disruptive Stage 2 Pokemon that can deny its opponents from ever getting the correct Energy from the Energy Zone.

While highly disruptive, this deck is also highly inconsistent. It offers unique lines of play that other, more competitive decks may not have. Consider trying this deck in Random Matches.

Mew ex ×1	Uxie ×2	Mesprit ×2	Azelf ×2
Mythical Slab ×2	Pokemon Communication ×2	Giant Cape ×2	Dawn ×1
X Speed ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Mesprit can be a threatening and effective finisher once Uxie and Azelf are both in the Bench. While it is being set up, Uxie can be used for chip damage and Energy acceleration.

Alternatively, Mew ex can be used as a the early game attacker, as it also serves as an effective wall.

Erika ×2	Leaf ×2	Pokemon Communication ×2	Rocky Helmet ×1
Cyrus ×1	Potion ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

This is a deck which revolves around using Exeggutor ex as your main attacker. Celebi ex and Mew ex can be brought in as finishers, as they can potentially knock out bulkier opponents in one attack.

Lickitung ×2	Mew ex ×1	Dialga ex ×2	Lickilicky ex ×2
Leaf ×2	Pokemon Communication ×2	Giant Cape ×1	Dawn ×2
X Speed ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Lickilicky ex is a fun partner for Dialga ex, which it can also power up with Metallic Turbo

Lickilicky ex and Lickitung suffer from having heavy Retreat Costs, though, so starting with Lickitung or having a Lickilicky ex without Energy is disadvantageous. To remedy this, the deck runs multiple copies of Leaf and X Speed to make sure that they can retreat into Dialga ex.

Mew ex has the lightest Retreat Cost in the deck, and also benefits from Dialga ex's acceleration. It can attack with Genome Hacking to KO the likes of Palkia ex or Charizard ex.

Dialga ex ×2	Giovanni ×1	Leaf ×2	Giant Cape ×2
Rocky Helmet ×1	Dawn ×2	Poke Ball ×2	Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used

Dialga ex pairs nicely with Melmetal, helping it overcome its weakness of having a high costing Attack by accelerating Energy with Metallic Turbo. Melmetal can then OHKO most Basic Pokemon or 2HKO exs.

Mew ex Deck Strategy Guide

OHKO Powerful ex Pokemon With Genome Hacking

Mew ex's Genome Hacking is a powerful move that can copy any move from your opponent's Active Pokemon. It is able to use moves that normally have higher Attack Costs with only three Energies, and it can also bypass the discard conditions of these moves.

This attack is best used to deal with ex Pokemon with high HP and high attack, particularly Charizard ex and Palkia ex.

Avoid KOs With Budding Adventurer

Since Mew ex is an ex Pokemon, it gives the opponent two points when it is knocked out. Budding Expeditioner allows it to return to the player's hand without worrying about Retreat Costs, which provides the opportunity for your other Pokemon cards to switch in.

How to Beat Mew ex Decks

Strong Pokemon with Low Attack Costs

While Genome Hacking is powerful, it has a fixed cost of three Energies, which makes it a bad matchup against Pokemon with lower Attack Costs. It is best to use Pokemon that have powerful moves that use fewer Energies, efficiently knocking Mew ex out in one or two turns.

Energy Denial

For Mew ex decks without an accelerator, cards that discard energy such as Beedrill ex and Team Rocket Grunt may be an effective way to prevent it from using Genome Hacking.
