Tank Card Recommendations "Regular Mewtwo" (Tera Mewtwo, Kangaskhan, Snorlax, Koffing)
Decks that require evolution or energy, like Charizard or Blastoise decks, often use tank Pokémon to protect and develop key Pokémon on the bench.
In this context, I compared Kangaskhan, Snorlax, Koffing, and the recently popular regular Mewtwo, which are frequently used as tanks.
✅Conditions for an Excellent Tank
· Must be a Basic Pokémon: Tanks that rely on evolution are subject to variance depending on the hand.
· Must be a Regular Pokémon: Pokémon ex, which cost 2 points if lost, are unsuitable as tanks that may need to be sacrificed.
· Must have 110+ HP: Must be able to withstand Pikachu ex's 3-bench Electric Circuit + Giovanni's Scheme damage of 100, a meta Pokémon.
· Must have a low Retreat Cost: 0~2 is optimal; 3 or more makes it difficult to bring fully developed core Pokémon onto the battlefield.
※ All Basic & Regular Pokémon with 110+ HP have a Retreat Cost of 2 or more.

· Is it a Basic Pokémon?: ✔️
· Is it a Regular Pokémon?: ✔️
· Does it have 110+ HP?: ✔️ (HP 120)
· Does it have a low Retreat Cost?: ✔️ (2)
· Overall: An excellent tank Pokémon with no drawbacks in any aspect.

2️⃣Tank Candidate: Kangaskhan
· Is it a Basic Pokémon?: ✔️
· Is it a Regular Pokémon?: ✔️
· Does it have 110+ HP?: ❌ (100)
· Does it have a low Retreat Cost?: ❌ (3)
· Overall: The advantage of attacking with any 1 energy doesn't make up for the fact that Kangaskhan rarely gets a chance to attack.

3️⃣Tank Candidate: Snorlax
· Is it a Basic Pokémon?: ✔️
· Is it a Regular Pokémon?: ✔️
· Does it have 110+ HP?: ✔️ (150)
· Does it have a low Retreat Cost?: ❌ (4)
· Overall: Overwhelming HP, and an overwhelming Retreat Cost.

4️⃣Tank Candidate: Koffing
· Is it a Basic Pokémon?: ❌
· Is it a Regular Pokémon?: ✔️
· Does it have 110+ HP?: ✔️ (110)
· Does it have a low Retreat Cost?: ✔️ (Retreat Cost is 3, but can utilize Erika's Invitation)
· Overall: Acrobatic tanking and poison utilization in combination with Erika's Invitation are possible, but evolution is a problem.
