Gary Qian’s team was one of the most exotic we saw all weekend, and he was able to take it all the way to the top cut. Few players have risked using the frail Mewtwo this season, but Gary was able to put up impressive results by teaching it the combination of Psystrike, Ice Beam, and Substitute. Mewtwo was one of three Pokémon on Gary’s team that knew Substitute, a tactic sure trouble any foes trying to use status moves. The spectacle didn’t stop there: he also added a Raichu that knew Endeavor and a Mega Venusaur to his team.
