Why does Mewtwo ex have 280 hp as a basic. That is crazy. I know because of the ability it needs a certain requirement to even attack but still. Especially considering it could use something like bravery charm to get over 300 hp as a basic
“The Glory of Team Rocket” Set Officially Revealed Featuring Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex!

Okay, I’ve read what the item does, and ooooh boy do I feel like the opponent’s bench is constantly going to be under attack. This is going to be like the Tag Call days, but if Tag Call could grab Guzma.
Also, I like that Spidops can one-shot Charizard ex or whatever the next relevant grass-weak darkness type ex will be (Mega Sableye ex? Watch it be a Mega Tyranitar ex with 400 HP that can live a hit from Spidops).

Told ya, we would get Rocket Grunt's X, it's just referred to as Team Rocket's X. Now for some cool reveals for AR/SAR and FAT slots.
Team Magma’s Groudon was a single prizer in 2004 with the same Ability (effectively) and the HP of a basic ex (100) instead of that of other normal Groudon (80). I guess it’s tradition.
It doesn’t feel like that big of a step from Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, but it’s a 27% imcrease from Miraidon ex. I’m sure most people thought of Miraidon ex first and Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex second, but I guess I’m weird.
The energy leads me to believe some big dark type is coming too
It'll 100% be sold out everywhere because of gambling addicts who use nostalgia to justify their vices (I'm a little bitter about all of this still), but as for the cards themselves, every other set has still had a good amount (if not a majority) of "free agent" pokemon. Though I wouldn't be surprised if instead of 4 trainers, we just get a boatload of rocket cards.
Ah, i see, not very familiar with the 2004 era. Guess it makes sense though
Competitively the cards suck.
For collecting I think we can expect a lot of scalping.

Ariana Grande is that you!?
I don't know, that Mewtwo would be good in any balanced format. Having the HP of a Stage 2, hitting for its own HP, and the only requirement to trigger it is to fill your bench with more of them. It does need to tank hits for three turns with supposedly no support, but no deck should hit for 280 damage in Turn 2... right?
Everyone saying mewtwo sucks competitively. Let's not jump to conclusions. First of all the energy is psychic and dark. And we didn't even get a dark type revealed. And it counts as 2 energy as well. It's going to get more cards.
Split-off the accessories into this article with more information.
The special energy provides 2 energy. You just need an attach for turn on turn 2.
Going second
arven for trolley and charm
fill bench with rockets mons and teal mask, attach rockets energy to mewtwo, e switch, attack? also grass energy for teal mask is good for spidops to provide the energy on the bench to discard + hits zard for weakness (which one shots mewtwo)

This is gonna be yet another scalped to Hell nostalgia bait that 151 was. Persian seems pretty funny, especially with Rocket getting the double energy I've been griping about for the last 2 sets. Spidops actually seems pretty solid, flood the bench with Porygon2/Z, use Terapagos and Area Zero to increase that damage output, but then again you're better off just trying to sweep with Mewtwo. 240 with Spidops just doesn't seem entirely worth it when you can easily attach 2 energy to benched Spidops and deal 280.
