What this card does

Mewtwo Star can search your discard pile to attach an Energy card to itself using the Energy Absorption attack.

It uses the Psychic Star attack to deal 50 damage plus an extra 50 if the opponent has an Evolved Pokemon.

Signature attack

Psychic Star

If the Defending Pokémon is an Evolved Pokémon, discard all Energy attached to Mewtwo Star and this attack does 50 damage plus 50 more damage. (50+ damage)

The key feature is that it sacrifices its own attached energy cards to double its damage output. This makes it a powerful choice when you are facing a single strong enemy.
