Mega Pinsir ex sets the standard for a Basic Mega Pokémon ex: 170 HP and a single, heavy-hitting attack. Critical Scissors deals a base 80 damage that rises to 150 with a favorable coin flip. This is enough to one-shot most Pokémon ex, including the bulkiest ones such as Guzzlord ex (thanks to type advantage) and even the new Mega Absol ex. As Pokémon have been increasingly pairing with Will, Mega Pinsir ex and its raw power naturally fit into that core deck.

- Ironically, while being a strong Basic Pokémon is generally a strength, starting with Mega Pinsir ex is a major drawback: its attack comes online late, and its retreat cost of 2 is high for a Mega Pokémon ex. And once damaged, it becomes the perfect target for a Cyrus type of play: felling Mega Pinsir ex makes your opponent win the game.

- Critical Scissors’ base damage is below average at only 80 for 3 Energy. Reaching the full 150 damage depends entirely on a coin flip or the use of Will each turn.
