• HP: 140
• Evolution: 2 Stages
• Attack: Magical Delusion
• Attack Damage: 70
• Effect: Your opponent’s Active Pokemon is now Confused, making them take a 50% risk every time they attempt an attack. If they fail, they take additional damage.
• Attack Cost: 2 Psychic, 1 Colorless energy
• Retreat Cost: 2 Colorless energy

Mismagius ex is a tricky opponent to face, thanks to its Magical Delusion attack, which not only deals damage but also Confuses the opposing Active Pokemon. This disruption can force your opponent to retreat or risk failing an attack. This makes Mismagius ex an excellent choice for stall tactics and control strategies.

4) Giratina ex

• HP: 150
• Evolution: Basic
• Ability: Broken-Space Bellow: Once per turn you can attach one Psychic energy to this card. Your turn ends in doing so.
• Attack: Chaotic Impact
• Attack Damage: 130
• Attack Cost: 3 Psychic and 1 Colorless energy
• Retreat Cost: 2 Colorless energy

Giratina ex is uniquely played because of its ability and the role it embodies in a deck. Broken-Space Bellow lets you put one Psychic energy on it every turn. But in doing so your turn ends, so you can't attack. This is where it uniquely blends into niche decks like with Darkrai ex.

130 damage from Chaotic Impact is quite decent, essentially making it able to two-shot any Pokemon in the game. The 20 self-damage forces you to strategically make your moves.

3) Gengar ex

• Attack: Spooky Shot
• Attack Damage: 100
• Attack Cost: 3 Psychic energy
• Retreat Cost: 2 Colorless energy

Gengar ex is one of the most menacing Psychic cards, primarily due to its Shadowy Spellbind ability, which prevents opponents from using Supporter cards while Gengar ex is in the Active Spot. This ability can severely limit their options and disrupt their strategy, forcing them to play around its presence.

Mew ex is a highly versatile Psychic-type that can fit into various decks. Its Genome Hacking attack allows it to copy any of the opponent’s Active Pokemon's attacks, making it incredibly adaptable. Additionally, with the help of Budding Expeditioner, Mew ex can reposition itself back into your hand, making it a resilient and strategic choice.

Mewtwo ex stands as the strongest Psychic-type card in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Its Psydrive attack delivers a massive 150 damage, albeit at the cost of discarding two Psychic Energy. Paired with Psychic Sphere, which provides a solid attack option at a lower cost, Mewtwo ex is an offensive powerhouse that can deal consistent damage while having reasonable flexibility.
