In the era of Sword and Shield, change is fast in the meta. Pokemon TCG. Now, with the start of Scarlet & Violet, things have shaken up even more with the dramatic replacement of the accepted official playing cards. New power plants replace old power plants. The stalling tactic that worked three months ago worked.
But not everything is evolutionary. Boss’ Orders aren’t going away anytime soon, even while we’re saying goodbye to things like the Inteleon engine. And a well calibrated spin on the original Mu VMAX It continues to kill rival decks around the world.
Updated by Quinton O’Connor on December 27, 2022: The Scarlet & Violet era of the Pokemon trading card game isn’t far off, and with a belated spin scheduled for early 2023, it’s hard to say if there’s any reason to come back to this article in the future. However, we did just that today by clarifying some techniques and including a list of sample decks. There’s no telling how much longer this will last, but for now the Mew VMAX remains an absolute behemoth on the battlefield.
Changes to Scarlet & Violet
Now, solid chunks of the Sword & Shield era have been drained through the latest rotation, and a few decks that have stood out more in the recent meta have taken their toll in predictably harsh ways, forcing creative fans to find bold new ways to stay relevant. It has been. . We’re looking at this and we’re seeing a nice end result all over the landscape.
in other words, Mew VMAX doesn’t suffer as much as most., so the number of card moves is relatively small. This is thanks to the new feature of key cards. So much of it stemmed from the recent half of Pokemon TCG’s Galar journey. As you will learn below, things like the Battle VIP Pass and Power Tablet are good examples of strong holdovers.
Still, you can feel the change. We used this opportunity to adjust the original decklist to fit strategies that arose towards the end of the previous rotation. Of course, we had to completely remove certain concepts. The fast ball is replaced with a mix of alternatives., for example. They mostly get the job done.
In fact, the changes reflected at the end of the guide have little to do with the first batch of Scarlet and Violet cards available in this update. This may change over time. Rather, however, the top players replaced the former Galarian cards with the latter. Designation: Switch Cart, Forest Sealing Stone, Shilen. sure, judge It’s already back, but it hasn’t gone anywhere yet in Sword & Shield as well.
What makes Mew VMAX special?
Is that all? cross fusion strike? Two Colorless Energy is all it takes to mimic one of your bench fusion strike Pokemon’s moves against your opponent. no. A string. Attached. This kind of attack defines a generation. It’s not unlike Clefairy’s Metronome. But 100 times better.
Of course, I use the Fusion Strike deck. However, it’s not that bad when your Fusion Strike deck is rocking. The most common approach is to use Mew VMAX in the field. maintain Genesect V on the bench. Take advantage of Genesect V techno blast attack. This gives you a very solid 210 damage with some disclaimers.
First, you need 2 steel energy and 1 colorless. It’s not the hardest deal, but it requires a steady supply of Steel Energy, which the Mew VMAX deck doesn’t need. The second issue is an important one. On your next turn, Genesect V cannot attack.
If Genesect V is your main beast, its 2 energy retreat cost will eat you up quickly. Mew VMAX has no retreat cost.This means you can switch off each turn, keep two colorless energies, and (ideally) swap them out for another Mew VMAX. Rinse and repeat. Mew is surprisingly bulky with 310 HP. Beware the Dark-types.
Don’t ignore Mew VMAX’s other moves. It’s not an all-star, but it makes for an excellent backup. Max Miracle Attacks your opponent’s active Pokemon for 130 for a moderate cost of two Psychic Energy. VMAX’s 130 doesn’t sound earth-shaking on its own, and it really isn’t.
But Max Miracle has an ace up its sleeve. It penetrates any barrier, so enemies cannot rely on any form of gimmick in the game to stop it. If your deck is built around blocking, you may run into problems. Remember Zamazenta V’s Dauntless Shield? Not bold anymore, Pupper.
How to Build a Great Mew VMAX Deck
look at that cutie Certainly it cannot terrorize mankind. Definitely he deserves a Mew VMAX deck list.
Fuse or lose
Since this is a Fusion Strike deck, it should not contain Pokémon outside of the Fusion Strike system. Needless to say, it could be. Maybe not. However, the synergies these cards can generate cannot be overemphasized. I’m not going to throw a Squirtle into an all-fire deck. maybe.
Take away Mu V, for example. you will want yes Because they are your ladder two Mu VMAX. (The 4:3 ratio is very common in the meta, but there are cases where 4:2 works better.) One nice thing about Mew VMAX decks is that Mew Vs doesn’t. only Ladder though.
With one Psychic Energy, Mew V can retrieve energy from the deck and attach it to a Fusion Strike Pokemon to build up strength early or just before the end if it gets into a bizarre stalemate in a match.
mu v psychic riff Deals 70 damage for each corresponding psychic energy and jumps the card back into the deck. “Why would you want to throw Mew V back into the deck instead of evolving it to VMAX?” You won’t!
what do you I think I will What to do instead is push Mew V to the bench and use Psychic Leap once the active Mew VMAX reaches the final leg to prevent rival trainers from picking up 3 prize cards. If another VMAX is ready, keep the sport but feel free to laugh.
How to use the updated deck
Nothing lasts forever, and as already mentioned, the Mew VMAX deck required some fine-tuning, not to mention the daunting requirement of completely discarding rotated cards. (As long as you’re not playing outside the official rules, have fun.)
We’ve given you the typical winning formula from a Pokemon point of view and that hasn’t turned into rotations, but what about trainer cards? In fact, the world is your cloyster for this one. The more you switch situations, the better you can catch the unwary enemy team. Feel free to experiment with new cards.

That said, there are a few staples you wouldn’t want without. boss’s orderone. power tablet Increases the damage of Fusion Strike Pokémon by 30 for one turn. The neat part is: You can use all 4 of them in your deck at once if you want. Are you getting closer to a loss than you would like? Dropping these to boost your Mew VMAX will be the deciding blow.
Sample Deck List
We’ve shared a sample Mew VMAX build so you can see it all coming together. Remember, as always, you are free to adjust. Some cards are mandatory. Others can be gently manipulated or changed completely. Aside from Mews, the most important cards are Genesects, Fusion Strike Supporters, the aforementioned Boss’s Orders, and the importance of Power Tablets.
The Battle VIP Pass and Forest Seal Stone are arguably important new additions. The Fusion Strike Energy is a must and the 3 Double Turbo Energy does a great job of covering more bases, giving you an impressive 7 Energy build. Remember, the point behind that slimness is to load the Trainer, not the Pokemon. It only takes 10 animals to create this click.

What’s better than an easy switch? An easy switch that recovers 30 damage. This is a brief explanation, but a simple concept!
How will Mew VMAX change in the future? Of course, it won’t be long before it breaks down and is completely scrapped. But the core goal, the way it works, can be brought to similar cards. It’s a great approach, and one that’s obviously malleable as our decklists change over time.
