'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

So I want to clarify this for people, yes the art for Mewtwo EX is a bit odd, but PLANETA is an art studio with multiple artists, each card done by a different one specifically but they all pitch in one way or another. So PLANETA has always had a decent mix of awesome and lackluster artwork, and substantially more positive reviews than Yoshinob, but I digress.

While Mewtwo doesn't typically get shown to be physically orientated, the fact that this Mewtwo is the set up for the physical bruiser M-Mewtwo X makes sense. It is portraying what this Mewtwo wants to be in the future. Perspective wise, having Mewtwo's head be down with its mouth open is definitely a side of Mewtwo that we are not used to seeing, but nothing is proportionally wrong with it, its just awkward. It could be worse, it could have been Machamp EX broke sausage fingers.
 
So basically run Mega Mewtwo Y ex with Shaymin ex, and never use the X version because this one is way more viable, got it... broken AF X-Ball, and still not a counter to night march! :] Lets go bois!
 
The Cresselia's attack is called "Moonlight Gain" and has text under it, so I would assume it has some type of effect.
 
Sigh, why the heck couldn't they turn Mega Mewtwo X into a fighting type Pokémon for some variety like they did with Mega Charizard X? Granted it has fighting type energy requirements but still...
 
Gotta love PCL... X Ball on steroids... although this time they took caution so games wouldn't be just Mewtwo countering Mewtwo (damage not affected by weakness)...
Oh, and the artworks look amazing, specially Mega Mewtwo Y...

But than it would be able to abuse strong energy and all the fighting support already in the game :p

Also liking how both can be ohked by AT golurk (muscle band or strong energy needed for mewtwo Y) :D
 
The Cresselia was super cute! I'm not really impressed by the M Mewtwo art for either, but at least they're better than the one we saw yesterday. :p
 
I was expecting already one mega to be fighting type, to abuse strong energy and the fighting stadium.
But hey, I am not complaining. Both of them ate insanely powerful.
Specially the one with 200 damage. OMG.
I mean there's only a stadium card in play, and it's not effected by any effect on defending Pokémon.
Good by Girantina... Nice knowing you.
 
200 damage?
With an upside? o_O
Okay, that will see some abuse!

I guess he isn't fightning to prevent something like Maxie's to get it into play easier without mega evolution.
And how rediculious would it be with strong energy...

So the yet-to-be-release version would be more Mewtwo Y orientated? Interesting idea.

I don't think It's an instant win against Giratina. Mewtwo X takes 3 turns to attach the necessary energy, while Giratina can do it in 2 turns (best case scenario) Also you can't play any stadium cards after Chaos Wheel and with Vileplume in play you might lose a turn because you can't play a spirit link. Anyway, I do love the new Mewtwo especially X. It's a pretty brutal attack... if you asked me though, they should've nerved it a bit and made Mewtwo X a fighting type.
