#61 Mew - Shining Darkness (dp3)

Mew is a Pokémon with 60 HP featured in the Shining Darkness set, released on July 5, 2007. Its design is attributed to artist Kagemaru Himeno, and it carries a Rare Holo rarity with the card number 61. The card includes two unique attacks, starting with Psychic Balance, which triggers when the player holds fewer cards than their opponent. This ability forces the player to draw cards until both sides have equal hands, effectively balancing card advantage. The second attack, Re-creation, requires Psychic and two Colorless Energy to activate. It allows the player to copy an attack from an opponent's discarded Pokémon, using Mew to execute the copied move while omitting the original attack's Energy cost. The copied attack's other requirements must still be fulfilled, granting Mew a versatile offensive strategy. The card's mechanics emphasize adaptability and resource management, offering players dynamic gameplay options. Its inclusion in the Shining Darkness set highlights its role in competitive play during its release era.
