Getting back into the Pokemon TCG competitive scene
Alright. I'm sure the title is self explanatory, so I'll skip the basics and get into the details (like the deck I'm going to run).
Pokemon:
4x Mewtwo EX
4x Sableye
4x Terrakion
2x Darkrai EX
Trainers:
4x Cheren
4x Professor Juniper
2x Skyla
2x N
4x Pokemon Communication
4x Ultra Ball
4x Plus Power
1x Computer Search
Energy:
4x Fighting
5x Darkness (basic)
4x Darkness (special)
4x Double Colorless
4x Prism
Strategy:
Use Sableye to recycle search item cards. Bring out Mewtwo EX ASAP. Use Terrakion as a revenge killer and Darkrai EX to assist with retreating. KO opponent's Pokemon. Draw prizes, preferably two at a time due to the EX rule. Win before opponent can even get set up. Dominate tournaments. Go to tropical location. Become world champion.
Possible changes:
Against a Keldio EX & Blastoise heavy field:
-1 Mewtwo EX
-1 Terrakion
-4 Darkness Energy (basic)
+2 Zekrom
+4 Lightning Energy
Zekrom will really help in keeping Keldio EX in check. Mewtwo EX is also really good in this matchup, but may have trouble getting a 1HKO.
Against other Mewtwo EXs:
-2 Terrakion
-2 Fighting Energy
+2 Darkrai EX
+2 Darkness Energy (basic)
Focus more on using Darkrai EX, as it resists Psychic types. However, if you can get the initiative in a situation, by all means use Mewtwo EX to get a KO on the opponent's Mewtwo EX. Make sure to watch out for Mewtwo EX in any matchup, as a lot of decks run it as a tech.
Against Eels, anything with Darkrai EX:
-4 Darkness Energy (basic)
-2 Pokemon Communication
+2 Fighting Energy
+4 Pokemon Catcher
Pokemon Catcher is crucial in a matchup like this, as you need to focus on killing your opponent's support. Since both Elektrik and Darkrai EX are weak to fighting, Terrakion and Mewtwo EX will swap roles.
Against Serperior:
You don't have to change anything, but be careful with Terrakion as it is weak to grass. If you do use it for a revenge-kill, you'll be trading prizes next turn.
Against Zoroark:
-2 Darkness Energy (basic)
+2 Fighting Energy.
Again, you'll want to use Terrakion more in this matchup. If Darkrai EX is common in Zoroark decks, treat them like Darkrai EX decks.
Against Ho-Oh EX:
Do nothing. Mewtwo EX hard-counters Ho-Oh EX.
EDIT: Deck list edited. Turns out Computer Search is an Ace Spec and is limited to only one per deck.
