Mewtwo EX Value & Trade Guide

Mewtwo EX (A1-020) from Genetic Apex is the second most valuable card in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Psychic-type, 150 HP, and a devastating Psystrike attack that bypasses resistance. Mewtwo has been a fan favourite since Generation 1, and its TCG Pocket incarnation lives up to the legacy.

Whether you just pulled one or you are trying to trade for one, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Mewtwo EX sits firmly in the top three cards by trade value. Here are approximate trade ratios as of mid-2026. For exact current values, use our Value Checker.

Mewtwo EX shares the crown rare pull rate tier at approximately 0.067% — about 1 in 1,500 packs. This is identical to Charizard EX and other crown rares from Genetic Apex.

The difference in trade value between Mewtwo and Charizard is pure demand. Charizard carries extra nostalgic and collector premium. In terms of competitive utility, Mewtwo is arguably stronger. For more on understanding these odds, see Pull Rates Explained.

If you play Psychic decks, Mewtwo EX is non-negotiable — keep it. Psystrike is the strongest Psychic attack in the game, and no substitute comes close.

If Psychic is not your archetype, Mewtwo EX is excellent trade material. Its high and stable value means you can trade it for almost any single card except Charizard EX, or swap it for multiple EX cards to round out your collection.

A duplicate Mewtwo EX should always be traded. Use the Trade Finder to find the best deals available.

The optimal trade is Mewtwo EX for another crown rare you need — Mew EX, Pikachu EX, Dialga EX, or Palkia EX are all fair one-for-one swaps.

You can also split it into three to five strong EX cards if you are filling collection gaps. This is particularly good if you are close to completing a set.

Offer another crown rare for a straight swap, or bundle three to four high-value EX cards. Cards like Gardevoir EX carry extra weight because they are Psychic-type pairs that Mewtwo owners often want.

Timing tip: Mewtwo EX dips slightly in value whenever a new set launches because attention shifts to new chase cards. That is your window to trade for one at a discount.

Psystrike deals 150 damage and ignores the opponent's effects — no resistance, no damage reduction. With Psychic energy acceleration from support cards, Mewtwo can attack as early as turn two.

Psychic decks built around Mewtwo EX pair well with Gardevoir for energy support and Alakazam for draw power. The archetype is consistently top-tier and has been since launch. Mewtwo EX is one of those rare cards that is equally valuable for trading and for playing.

Mewtwo EX has held its value remarkably well since Genetic Apex launched. Unlike many crown rares that dip as supply increases, Mewtwo's competitive relevance keeps demand high. Expect it to remain top-tier unless a strictly better Psychic attacker is printed.
