Ruling Using Mew EX

[droxbury]

Hi there,
Fairly new to the world of Pokemon and excited to dive in more.

I am confused about this Mew EX card. I understand how the "Versatile" ability works however, I am confused as to when my turn ends while using this card.

If I use the "Versatile" ability, is that considered an attack in which my turn ends right after that, OR is it considered only using an ability, in which I could then use Mew EX's "Replace" after that and then end my turn?

And lastly do you know of any other cards with this ability?
Thanks in advance.

Versatile itself isn't an attack. Versatile is what lets you use the attacks of any Pokemon in play when you do finally decide to attack, as opposed to being forced to use the attack written on the card. It's an Ability, so it's subject to things like Garbotoxin or Hex Maniac. If it's erased in this way, you would only be able to use Replace if you attacked with Mew-EX. Does that make sense?

e: I realize I didn't answer your actual question. If you use any attack, regardless of whether it was copied via Versatile or not, your turn is over after the attack, just like normal. Versatile isn't something that you announce; it's an "always on" Ability, like Garbotoxin.

There is a Mew from Fates Collide with a similar Ability, but it can only copy the attacks of Basic Pokemon on your side of the field (Mew-EX can copy any attack on any Pokemon on either player's side).
