Mewtwo V-UNION

Description

The Mewtwo V-UNION promo card (SWSH160) stands as a distinctive entry within the 2019 SWSH Black Star Promos series, capturing the essence of the Pokémon Trading Card Game during that era. Designed by AKIRA EGAWA, this Holo finish card offers collectors a unique piece of Pokémon history that bridges the gap between competitive gameplay and collector appeal. As a promo release, it holds a special place for fans looking to expand their collections with items that are not typically found in standard booster packs. In the game, Mewtwo V-UNION is a formidable Psychic-type Pokémon boasting 300 HP, making it one of the toughest targets opponents must face. Its abilities revolve around the concept of union, allowing players to leverage resources from the discard pile. The Photon Barrier ability provides crucial protection by preventing all effects of attacks from the opponent's Pokémon, ensuring that damage is the only consequence players must manage. This defensive utility makes it a valuable asset in strategic play. Offensively, the card utilizes Colorless Union Gain to attach up to two Psychic Energy cards from the discard pile, providing flexibility in resource management. Its attacks include Super Regeneration, which can heal 200 damage, and Psysplosion, a powerful move that puts 16 damage counters on the opponent's Pokémon in any way the player chooses. The final attack, Final Burn 300, delivers a massive blow, cementing Mewtwo's reputation as a powerhouse. For collectors, the SWSH160 card number identifies this promo variant, ensuring it is easily cataloged within the broader SWSH Black Star Promos collection. Whether you are building a themed deck around union mechanics or adding to a comprehensive Mewtwo collection, this card represents a key piece of the 2019 Pokémon landscape.
