Mewtwo

Description

The 2019 Detective Pikachu expansion brings a distinct cinematic flavor to the Pokémon TCG, highlighted by the Ultra Rare Mewtwo card at number 12. Designed as a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon with 130 HP, this release captures the essence of the character created through gene splicing and DNA engineering. The card features a striking Holo finish, adding visual appeal to any collection focused on the Detective Pikachu series. Beyond its aesthetic value, this product offers strategic depth for players. Mewtwo possesses two potent attacks: Psyjack, which disrupts an opponent's active Pokémon by preventing a chosen attack, and Break Burn, a high-damage option that requires discarding two Psychic Energy. The card’s design reflects the era's crossover appeal, making it a notable entry for those building sets from this year. Collectors often seek out Detective Pikachu parallels to complete their thematic runs, valuing the unique blend of movie tie-in branding and classic trading card mechanics. Integrating this card into a collection supports the broader narrative of Pokémon’s multimedia expansion, bridging the gap between the animated series, the films, and the competitive card game landscape.
