Base-Team Rocket: Clefable/Mewtwo

Attacking for a single Energy, Clefable is a great Pokémon to use both with and against Super Energy Removal. After Energy Removal & Super Energy Removal deplete much of your opponent’s Energy, their best bet is usually to go for Mewtwo’s Energy Absorption. Good thing Clefable resists Psychic!

Clefairy/Clefable Errata: Metronome was mistranslated on both Clefairy and Clefable. While it does allow you to copy an attack without needing the usual Energy required, you must still do anything else required to use that attack, such as discarding Energy cards.  This means that if Clefable used Metronome to copy an attack like Charizard’s Fire Spin, Clefable would still have to discard two Energy cards.  (If Clefable did not have two Energy cards attached to it, Metronome would then have no effect.) It’s also worth pointing out that when Metronome copies an attack that requires a player to discard all of a certain type of Energy, such as Zapdos’s Thunderbolt, you must discard at least one type of that Energy.
