# Mewtwo-EX #98/99 — Next Destinies

## Summary

Mewtwo is the Gen I Psychic everyone grew up wanting, and Mewtwo-EX gave it a real tournament life in Black & White, where X Ball turned energy-heavy boards into damage and Psydrive hit hard. As an Ultra Rare in Next Destinies, it was a genuine chase pull. The modelled guide sits at $262 with 18 copies traded in 30 days; PSA has slabbed 673 of these and only 13 are 10s, a 2% gem rate that makes the raw-to-gem gap the entire trade.
