From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Murray (Japanese: ミウラ Miura) is the Club Master of the Psychic Club (Japanese: エスパークラブ Esper Club). He plays using the Strange Psyshock Deck (Japanese: アヤシイねんりきデッキ Suspicious Confusion Deck) and gives away the Psychic Medal to challengers who defeat him. In Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!, he uses the わたされたGRデッキ Handed Over GR Deck and later the ちょうエリートデッキ Psychic Elite Deck.
Murray is known for his arrogance and for not listening to other people. He also wields a spoon, similar to the spoon Kadabra has.
Pokémon Trading Card Game
When the main character first meets him, he'll ignore the main character until the main character has 4 master medals.
Upon defeat, he will give the player the Psychic Medal and two Laboratory booster packs.
Strange Psyshock Deck
Main article: Strange Psyshock Deck (TCG)His strategy consists of using Alakazam's Damage Swap Pokémon Power to move damage counters to higher HP Pokémon like his Chansey, Snorlax, and Kangaskhan. He then uses Scoop Up to remove the heavily damaged Pokémon to his hand and return them to the Bench, removing all damage from them. He also uses Gust of Wind and Energy Removal to annoy the player, and Gambler and Professor Oak to find cards vital to his strategy. He also has 2 Pokémon Center Cards as a last resort. His strategy constantly draws cards, which if the player can stall him, he can run out of cards in his deck and lose. A deck consisting of Colorless Pokémon with Psychic resistances and/or Gastly and its evolutions, combined with Fighting types without Psychic weaknesses can defeat his Psychic and Colorless Pokémon, respectively.
