Author’s notes
This blog is based on my own personal notes for Mewtwo and
may not reflect all the information you may see in an official Death Battle.
Likewise it does not encompass the thoughts of the entire Death Battle team on its
own.
In case you were wondering
I’m assuming most people understand how stats and typing
work in Pokémon (and if you don’t *slap shame on you).
This mostly an overall composite of all Mewtwos, though the main
background will be most heavily based on the first movie version of Mewtwo (since
that’s what most people are familiar with). I will draw a slight distinction
between Shadow Mewtwo from Pokken, however even that Mewtwo is just a normal
Mewtwo with some added power given to it from a meggufin. In fact given Shadow
Mewtwo transforms back into a normal Mewtwo available for play in Pokken over
the course of the story, there’s no reason to believe it wouldn’t know any of
the standard Pokémon moves Shadow Mewtwo used when it took on that
transformation.
Only Mewtwo’s learn-set from the games will be talked about
in detail. I will list a few misc tms of note however.
Additionally I decided to point out which version of Mewtwo
used each ability/move I listed in this blog. It’s pretty self-explanatory.
Background
The last in the line of genetically engineered super Pokémon
created by a team of scientist lead by a crime syndicate team rocket. During
Mewtwo’s initial creation he was subjected to cruel gene splicing experiments
and witnessed the deaths of many failed fellow clones, including a human girl
named amber. This combined with a later manipulation by Team rocket leader
Giovanni, caused Mewtwo’s personality to be twisted into a mostly cold and
savage one compared to most other pokemon. Feeling betrayed by humans and
unaccepted in the natural world, he decided to express his frustration by
trying to use his power to destroy the world around him and rebuild it in his
own image. Thankfully he was eventually stopped by a boy named Ash, whose
selfless personality altered Mewtwo’s view of humanity.
In terms of personality while Mewtwo was originally
portrayed to be a vicious and vengeful soul, he eventually softened a bit,
becoming a nicer, albeit moody and introverted. He’s typically shown to be a
super genius with an incredibly tactical mind in most media, being able
creating elaborate plans, constructing complex machines and even manipulate
others to reach his goals. Mewtwo has often faced existential crises, although
for the most part he gotten over it.
Equipment
Beserker Gene
The Mewtwo species is aligned with 1 main holding items in
Pokémon, the Berserker gene The
berserker gene raises attack strength by 2 stages according to Pokémon
mechanics (or in laymans terms doubles it) at the cost of causing confusion. It
also disappears permanently if used. Given the double edged nature of the item and its
limits compared to Pokémon moves that can accomplish the same effect, its
doubtful Mewtwo would ever use it except as a last resort.
Mega Mewtwonite X and Y
Mewtwo can hold the mega stones Mewtonite x and Y, which are
used for “mega evolution” in the Pokémon games. Given outside media has often
shown Mewtwo being able to attain mega evolution without these stones however,
him having them on him in a fight is unlikely and superfluous.
Weapons
Pswave spoon
Used by: Adv
A spoon made out of concentrated psychic energy that Mewtwo
often uses for melee attacks and defensive parries in the adventures manga. The
spoon can be used either to bash opponents or to cut through solid objects
(with materials like stone and metal being cut fairly easily).It can also
extend several times it’s
default length (v 24 c 283) for extra reach (with its maximum length being
longer than silph co tower/a large building).The spoon can also bend while
extending and weave around objects to reach opponents. Mewtwo can eve turn the
end of the spoon into a “spork/fork”
of sorts that can impale opponents if he wants(
v7 ch 80). While Mewtwo normally only manifests this weapon directly in his
hands, he can also manifest
it in the air around him and in multiple downward shots(
v 25 c 291),
-Blain explains the combat mechanics behind it here (v 3 c 35). Basically
this spoon is used mainly for one on one fights at close range.
Special abilities
Barrier
Used by: Adv, Movie 1, game, origins, pokken
Move type: Psychic
Move cat: Status
Move power:-
Move accuracy:-
Move effectiveness:-
A spherical barrier of psychic energy that greatly increase Mewtwo’s
defense against projectiles attacks and physical strikes by two stages (200%). Mewtwo’s
also been known to slam into his opponents at high speeds while using the barrier
in move 1 and adv, effectively converting this mainly defensive ability into an
offensive battering ram attack.
-Here’s an example of him using it to ram lance in the manga
http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630912/2.jpg
(v7
ch 80)
Using it to fight and ram mew in movie 1 https://youtu.be/aN6nIUzAaes?t=81
Origins: https://youtu.be/i0purbwzs4U?t=84
Shadow ball
Used by: Movie 1, Smash, Ranger
Move type: Ghost
Move cat: Special
Move power:80
Move accuracy:100%
Move effectiveness:2X damage against ghost and psychic type
enemies.1/2 damage against dark type enemies. 0x times damage against normal
type.
A ball shaped projectile ghost type move that creates a
giant explosion of dark energy when it impacts an opponent or a solid object.
It has a 20% chance of lowering the special defense stat of Mewtwo’s opponents
on hit. In smash bros the shadow ball attack moves in a zigzagging pattern and
Mewtwo can also charge this attack to increase its size, power, and firing
speed. In smash he can also create flurries of weak shadow balls rather than a
singular powerful ones during certain throws.
In first movie. Makes small house sized explosion with the
attack https://youtu.be/kAuDvXIhwe8?t=186
He deflects and dissipates a team rocket copter energy shot
with the move in returns https://youtu.be/aKFwIctfhdo?t=509
Psychic
Used by: Adv, Movie 1, movie16, game
Move type: Psychic
Move cat: Special
Move power: 90
Move accuracy:100%
Move effectiveness: 2x damage against fighting and poison
type enemies. ½ times damage against psychic and steal type enemies. 0x damage
against dark type enemies.
More or less the Pokémon version of telekinesis (The ability
to manipulate or move matter with one’s mind). It has a 10% chance of lowering
an opponent’s special defense stat when used on them in any fashion.
Mewtwo can use this ability in several different ways,
although he uses primarily to grab and throw objects or opponents. The exact
limit of the Weight he can grab is unclear, but he’s easily lifted herds of toros, humans, giant Pokémon like garados and lifted
his entire clone army on his own with little effort.
Most impressively in prologue to the awakening Mewtwo also
lifted a massive cone shaped volume of water to put out a forest fire, which
when compare to his height, would probably could have contained several 100 if not a few
thousand tons of water.
In terms of grabbing distance Mewtwo has displayed the
ability to grab things from miles away in Mewtwo returns. For example he grabs
and stabilizes a bush being thrown about by a storm, easily from over a few miles away in returns.
Mewtwo can also use psychic abilities to lift and propel
himself at high speeds in the air to fly. How fast he can go is unknown, but
even when in normal form Mewtwo could clearly fly across several sections of a
large city when fighting Genesect in Mewtwo’s awakening, signifying he can
perhaps reach a few 100 miles per hour in normal form. When in mega Y form (a
super transformation explained farther below) the world from Mewtwo’s
perspective also slows down considerably. Additionally at the end of the movie
Mewtwo flies into space while in mega Y form, and while the entire ascent isn’t
shown, Mewtwo visually gets at least a few thousand feet into the air after a
few seconds, getting into the earths outer atmosphere.
In addition to grabbing and throwing things Mewtwo can also
use psychic powers to crush things
as well or cause explosions.
During his fight with mew in the 1st move Mewtwo
could also make kamehama-ish beams
of physic energy to send at opponents. Mewtwo can use his psyche powers to
manipulate the environment around him, moving storm clouds to create massive hurricanes.
Mewtwo can also use physic to deflect attacks. He’s done so
with electricity from magnamite in
move 1 and with the Fire of Ash’s
charizard.
-Mewtwo was able to control his custom pokeballs and send
them after dozens of Pokémon in different directions in movie 1 as well.
Teleport
Used by: Movie 1, Smash,
Move type: Psychic
Move cat: Status
Move power:-
Move accuracy:-
Move effectiveness:-
Mewtwo has the ability to instantaneously teleport himself,
objects and people over vast distances. In the anime, his mastery of this
technique is immense,
being able to transport dozens of people, Pokémon, machinery and even an
entire landmasses to different places in a matter of seconds. The distance
of which he can teleport is unknown, but it the games the move teleport takes
you to the last pokemon center you visited, which logically can extend across
an entire region when taken to extremes.
Mewtwo can apparently teleport objects to his position. For
example he summons his custom
made pokeballs to his side in the first movie.
He also transported the entire lake of serenity and an island underground in returns.
The teleportation beam here was about half the size of the entire mountain of
the background in width. He also specifically targeted humans like ash to bring
underground with him, while leaving the rockets and their machines above.

Move cat: Special
Move power: 100
Move accuracy:100%
Move effectiveness: 2x damage against fighting and poison
type enemies. ½ times damage against psychic and steal type enemies. 0x damage
against dark type enemies.
A psychic attack and the signature move of Mewtwo. In movie
16 it comes out as an expanding sphere of psychic energy that strikes opponents
on all sides. In the games Mewtwo surrounds his opponents in spheres of energy,
and collapses it on them. In smash it’s a more traditional giant energy
ball-ish projectile move, though it seems to directly strike the users
mind/head in some wat. Pokken portrays the move similarly to the main games.
The power of the attack is calculate based on Mewtwo’s
special attack stat, but does physical damage that effects an opponent’s normal
defense stat.

Learned moves
Given Mewtwo has had trainers in the past and the fact he
himself is much smarter than the average Pokémon, it wouldn’t be out of the
question for him to know some TM moves his species can’t learn naturally(in
fact technically his species can only learn Shadow ball through tm and that’s
one of his signature attacks).
You can see all his learned moves here
Some notable learned moves include Trick room allows the
Slower Pokémon to act first. Skill swap switches “abilities” with the target
(not sure what that would mean for this fight). Embargo prevents the use of
held items. Substitute sacrifices health to make a decoy.
Additional and Misc moves
Several Mewtwo’s like Smash and Pokken amplify physical
attacks with psychic abilities.
Pokémon conquest gave him the abilities Life force, which
restores health slowly overtime.
In Pokémon ranger guardian signs Mewtwo could also use some
sort of beam attack. https://youtu.be/4KxSaM0N1HM?t=138 and https://youtu.be/4KxSaM0N1HM?t=220
He could make two beams at once and aim them in different directions as well.
After being powered up in ranger he could make holograms of himself,
that could explode into shadow projectiles https://youtu.be/4KxSaM0N1HM?t=483
In Pokémon ranger he also make splurges of physic energy
balls and make them encircle himself to keep people at bay https://youtu.be/4KxSaM0N1HM?t=147
Finally Mewtwo has been shown to transport himself between pocket dimensions of a sort in rangers. He does this at 1:51. At 7:20 Mewtwo also shows the ability to send others into this dimension. At 14:50 the character Rand even describes it as a "strange pitch black place" and 15:01 he even says that Mewtwo came in to take him out.
Mind control/manipulation
Used by: Movie 1
Mewtwo has exhibited several different forms of mind
control/manipulation during his appearances.
-He erased the short term memory of ash and the other
trainers in movie 1. He also teleported them across the sea and back to a poke
center. He does this pretty casually. https://youtu.be/Sc2faV1ogSI?t=630
- Controls a nurse joy in movie 1. It should be noted her
mind was completely subverted. She was not aware of what was going on, her surroundings
or what Mewtwo was commanding her to do during her mind control stint(though it
should be mentioned Mewtwo said he also cleansed he of those memories). https://youtu.be/bsGvbL-CBRA?t=616
-Erased the memories of Giovani and his entire team rocket
team in returns. Personally I would believe he erased ALL of their memories
regarding him over the last several years. Giovani was obsessed with Mewtwo and
power, and clearly would have continued to search for him if he knew about his
existence. Even given the animes lack of consistency, this would have been
mentioned at some point in the last 2 decades of run time. https://youtu.be/NL4dLQB7-wk?t=257
-In the above link he also appears to command or control
thousands of Butterfree at once in order to get them to use stun spore on team
rocket.
Mind reading
Used by: Movie 16
Mewtwo can read the mind and find out the history of those
around him. He does this to a Genesect in movie 16, where he uses such powers
to get detailed info on the genesect’s time period, their restoration and
abilities given to them through human alteration. https://youtu.be/-P2aIPDwwEY?t=284
Psychic sense
Used by:Adv
In the manga Mewtwo was also able to search out for and
detect the general position of some humans he was looking for with his psychic
powers.
http://2.p.mpcdn.net/7855/122533/8.jpg
(v 24 ch 285)
Mega evolution
For some unexplained reason Mewtwo is one of the only
pokemon in the series who can somehow activate and utilize a Mega
evolution(basically a super transformation that increase his stats) without the
aid of a mega stone, or trainer. Mewtwo has two Mega evolutions at his
disposal, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y, which focus on speed and power
respectively. Out of the two only Mega Mewtwo Y has been confirmed to be usable
by Mewtwo on his own, although it is implied in the opening of “the strongest
mega evolution part one” that a Mewtwo that can access the Mega x form freely
might exist.
While in Mega Y form Mewtwo’s attack stats increase by about
36%, special attack by 36%, special defense by 33%,speed by 7% and defense gets
lowered by 22%.
In Mega x form Mewtwo’s attack stat increase by 72%, and his
defense by 10%.
-Mewtwo can freely access his mega Y evolution with NO help
in Movie 16. He also transformations into his mega y form during his boss fight
in super mystery dungeon. He also uses it towards the end of said story mode on
his own.
- A mega Mewtwo X and Y appear at the start of “the
strongest mega evolution” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqvU3w3nvoc On another note the fight shortly before
they show up, really demonstrates the explosive power mega Pokémon can have
Mechanical knowledge
Mewtwo at some point self-trained himself in the art of
machinery in the original anime series. He’s shown to have built large
complexes form himself, monitoring systems, his own variations of pokeballs,
cloning machines and more.
Abilities
Innate skills or attributes that are always present in Pokémon
and give them offensive, defensive or supportive abilities that help them in
battle.
Pressure
A special ability that causes Mewtwo to emit an aura that
intimidates and weakens his opponents. When exposed to it an opponents stamina
becomes significantly reduced and it takes about 2x as much effort for them to
use special moves/abilities as normal. It only activates in Mewtwo’s default
form.
Unnerve
Hidden ability that makes foes unable to eat berries.
Insomnia
A special ability that prevents Mewtwo from being forcibly
put to sleep. It’s only activated during his Mega Y form.
Steadfast
A special ability that increases Mewtwo’s speed when he’s
“flinched”(basically stunned by a powerful attack). It only activates in his
Mega X form.

Elemental affinities
Both Mewtwo’s normal form and Mega Y form are psychic types.
This means he takes ½ damage from other psychic attacks and fighting type moves
game mechanics wise. He also takes 2x damage from dark, bug, and ghost type
moves.
His Mega X form is a duel fighting/psychic type. This means
he takes ½ damage from fighting and rock type moves. He also takes 2x damage
from flying, ghost and fairy type moves.
Stab
All moves in Pokémon get a 50% increase in power if they are
used by a Pokémon that has the same typing as the move itself. This means all
Mewtwo’s psychic type moves naturally gain 50% more power than normal in all of
Mewtwo’s forms and that the Mega x form gives a 50% increase in power for
fighting type moves.
Shadow Mewtwo
A new form Mewtwo got in Pokken fighters. It was the result
of him being forcibly possessed by a “shadow synergy stone”, an evil object
that draws power from less malevolent synergy stones used by trainers to
power-up there Pokémon in the ferum league and “gia power” from the earth
itself. Given Mewtwo didn’t attain this form of his own will, it’s unclear if
it should be considered a standard part of his arsenal. Likewise he was
purified of this form and returned to normal at the end of Pokken, the only
game where he has taken on this form thus far.
This form gives Mewtwo a massive boost in stats, as well as
a new exclusive finishing attack called dark nova. Said Dark nova attack is a
Freiza like death ball attack that engulfs a large portion of the earth. https://youtu.be/lX4JX-OgZIg?t=118
Feats
Endurance
Mewtwo causally caught and suppressed a hyper beam from
Lance’s Aerodactly. Keep in mind Lance’s dragon air used the same move to blow
up a city and its unlikely his Aerodactly is far behind in power http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630911/14.jpg
and http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630911/15.jpg

Got impaled twice by Deoxys in the manga and managed to
shake it off. http://2.p.mpcdn.net/7855/122537/21.jpg

Rammed into a building with enough force to leave a dent in
it by Genesect in movie 16 https://youtu.be/-P2aIPDwwEY?t=2384
Produced a Barrier move powerful enough to block a super
sonic attack from lance’s Aerodactly, which is strong enough to can break stone
http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630911/17.jpg
, http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630911/18.jpg and http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630911/19.jpg
Used protect to block an attack from Genesect that could eat

Got flung away by Giovani’s machines with enough force to
shatter stone in returns https://youtu.be/aKFwIctfhdo?list=PL4vyR0dllAb4RziiUbte0ObyaYX24rhO_&t=570
Managed to survive a few minutes in contact with devices
specifically designed to “harness” his abilities in returns. Not only does this
inflict massive pain but at Giovani implies it was supposed to alter his brain
waves to make him more compliant. Also broke out of it on his own https://youtu.be/4suHuxrxT7A?list=PL4vyR0dllAb4RziiUbte0ObyaYX24rhO_&t=31
Blocks explosion the diameter of a large skyscraper from Genesect

Tanks lasers, while already injured in prologue https://youtu.be/_I84kT1LYVs?t=945
Survived atmospheric reentry in movie 16. https://youtu.be/-P2aIPDwwEY?t=3473
He was slowed down and caught in a large
body of water by Ash and co before he hit the ground, though it’s worth pointing
out at the speed they were falling , even the water cushion made for them
should have been as deadly as falling on concrete. There’s actually even a
trope discussing this http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoftWater
Lived on mount quena, a place with turbulent weather and
high altitude that make it difficult for normal humans to live there for long
time periods. https://youtu.be/Efl3K9VHATU?list=PL4vyR0dllAb4RziiUbte0ObyaYX24rhO_&t=747
Tanks a fire blast

Survived a falcon punch and got imbedded in rock by mega
charizard. Not he didn’t get knocked out, and could have used recover to
continue the battle if Red hadn’t ended the fight via pokeball https://youtu.be/jz4tDkm_9Uo?t=246

Uses phywave spoon to smash through stone in adv http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630859/8.jpg
His psychic spoon could cut through the entire silp co tower
in one swing in the manga http://2.p.mpcdn.net/7855/122536/18.jpg
Can lift a few tons if not a few hundred/thousand tons of
water with psychic. https://youtu.be/_I84kT1LYVs?t=1012
Easily throws an Onix with physic. It weighs about 500
pounds https://youtu.be/sUptSFif6ps?t=435
Lifts all of his clones and carries them away in move 1 https://youtu.be/Sc2faV1ogSI?t=569
Lifts and immobilizes an entire herd of torus(at least
10) in movie 1 https://youtu.be/sUptSFif6ps?t=445
He blew up the entire surface of the facility of the island
he was created on in movie 1.Note the complex Mewtwo rebuilds on it himself is
huge and at least a half mile to a few miles in diameter. https://youtu.be/sUptSFif6ps?t=292
Blew up Giovani’s pallet base to the point of near disintegration
movie 1. How the fuck Giovani survived I don’t know, but the explosion was
about half the diameter of one of the mountains in the background. Note this
was a pretty causal anger fueled attack. https://youtu.be/sUptSFif6ps?t=559
You can see the above base getting destroyed from a
different angle in the main anime series here https://youtu.be/D2soTaLfbOY?t=161
Was unfazed from beings grabbed by dozens of mechanical arms
in movie 1 and proceeded to destroy them all with psychic https://youtu.be/sUptSFif6ps?t=263
Easily created a giant hurricane with his physic powers in
movie 1. Also was able to effect the ferocity of the waves near his fortress
with little effort.
Along with Deoxysis and Rayquaza were able to use their own
power to prevent the tree of life from leaving the planet in Pokémon mystery
dungeon. Some details of the feat and its implications could be debated, but
it’s impressive based on looks alone. https://youtu.be/sgXxSRl4yAU?t=1767
Teleported the lake of mt quena. Said lake is comparable to
real world lakes weighing 385,000,000 million tons.
Speed
Seems to have a match cone after flying away from Giovani’s
destroyed base in the anime https://youtu.be/D2soTaLfbOY?t=161
Flies across a city and blocks and attack from a Genesect,
after it already fired in movie 16 https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ZigzagPositiveGalah-size_restricted.gif
Flies over several city blocks while fighting Genesect in
normal form in movie 16 https://thumbs.gfycat.com/PotableFavoriteGnat-size_restricted.gif
In the opening of movie 16 it easily outflies several bird Pokémon
in its normal form. Including a swallow, Braviary and Staraptor, swanna and
unfeasent https://youtu.be/-P2aIPDwwEY?t=90
Lifted 4 Genesect out of the way of an oncoming avalanche
the second it started in movie 16. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/NippyGorgeousAbyssiniangroundhornbill-size_restricted.gif
Easily avoids attacks from 3 opponents, and deafest them
simply by crashing into them in prologue https://youtu.be/_I84kT1LYVs?t=765
and https://youtu.be/_I84kT1LYVs?t=956
Files 1000s of feet into the air and outer space within
seconds while carrying red Genesect, arguably surpassing escape velocity(25,000
mph) https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CreativeThoughtfulBangeltiger-size_restricted.gif
Shadow mewtwo can fly into the outer atmosphere of the
planet in a few seconds, suggesting at least relativistic speeds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVhCNKCDn1M&feature=youtu.be
Training/experince
Managed to fight off lances Aerodactly and two Dragonairs in
v 7 c 80 of the adv manga http://mangapark.me/manga/pokemon-adventures-1/s5/v7/c80 Keep in mind ONE of Lance’s pokemon could destroy
a city, and Mewtwo had to fight 2 and Aerodactly(he also had a big handicap
keeping him from using his full power at the time) http://2.p.mpcdn.net/352588/630889/3.jpg
v5 c61
The wild Mewtwo in origins easily curbed reds entire team,
including articuno, before going down to mega charizard. Even then the fight
didn’t actually end in knockout, but capture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0purbwzs4U
According to the birth of Mewtwo radio drama, Mewtwo spent
most of his days fighting wild and trained Pokémon when still taking team
rockets orders, most likely meaning he has a fair amount of training
experience. http://www.rigelatin.net/oldcopycat/birthofmewtwomain.html
Actually created a plan to take over/destroy the world in
movie 1 and would have succeeded in it if he hadn’t willingly decided to stop.
Devised a plan to get himself out of the M2 bind armor in
the Pokémon adventures manga. http://2.p.mpcdn.net/7855/122535/19.jpg http://2.p.mpcdn.net/7855/122535/20.jpg
v 24 c 287
Was the final boss in Pokémon puzzle league, showing he has
some quick wit and thinking skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3BtpE7FqX8
Appears as a final opponent in Pokémon stadium 1 and 2.
He mentions that he gained knowledge on Pokémon physiology
from the brainwashed nurse joy in the first movie and given the fact he
successfully cloned multiple Pokémon on his own, probably has a decent
understanding of biology.
Worked with a fairly smart trainer named blain in the manga
for a time.
Could out physic an alakazam https://youtu.be/sUptSFif6ps?t=464
Misc notes
Mewtwo is a bit of a blood knight, and seems to enjoy
fighting as well as having great confidence in his strength .For example he says
fighting will be a pleasure for deoxyis in adventures http://2.p.mpcdn.net/7855/122537/4.jpg
v 25 ch 291
His mystery dungeon description mentions longing to
demonstrate his power to the world. Various pokedex entries talk about it only
thinking about defeating it’s foes, conserving energy for battle and being
particularly savage.
That being said some appearances are a bit more tempered.
Movie 16 Mewtwo goes out of the way to avoiding fighting anybody and movie 1
Mewtwo is increasingly nonviolent in returns.
A big example for the latter being the fact he clearly could have flown
out and exploded team rocket to shreds
before they reached his island but didn’t. He also chose just to erase
their memories of him at the end of the movie, rather than doing something more
debilitating.
Summary
Advantages
- Mewtwo has a lot of defensive abilities at his disposal. Barrier, the 100% attack blocking protect, his own psychic abilities, counter.
- The barrier move in particular is a great combination of defense and offense at once.
- Has several ways to prevent himself from getting status affects or having his stats tampered with.
- Incredibly smart for a Pokémon, most likely smarter than most humans as well.
- Decent amount of fighting experience.
- Most of his attacks have very good accuracy and some can’t miss their target.
- Psychic is very powerful and has lots of varied uses.
- Psychic spoon is a good melee weapon, has great cutting power, and very good range.
- Has good move coverage and has at least one attack he can use to do neutral(1x) damage against most Pokémon types.
- Can remove the immunity of dark type enemies to his psychic attacks, or use shadow ball to take down other psychics fairly easily.
- A good amount of his attacks lower opponent’s stats or can give them status ailments like confusion.
- Can disable an opponent’s special abilities or psionically suppress them.
- Can teleport himself or others long distances to avoid attacks.
- Can heal himself.
- Can at least move at least 25,000 MPH, has often caused destruction comparable to small islands or complexes, and has fought and matched opponents with city destroying power in his base form.
- Most of his attacks take advantage of his incredibly high special attack stat, which with added stab, gives him some of the most powerful offensive moves in the Pokémon series.
- Can access his Mega Mewtwo Y form on his own(somehow). I assume you guys will just say f@#k it, and give him the x transformation as well.
- Me first lets him copy an opponent’s move before they use it and send it back with 150% the power.
- Incredibly fast and agile.
- Can sense the position of opponents.
- Mind manipulation powers could theoretically be very easily abused.
- The combination of psyche up, guard swap and power swap could be broken under the right situation.
- Pressure makes opponents tire out twice as fast.
- He technically has the highest base stats of all Pokémon in Mega x or Y form besides mega rayquaza(though some Pokémon like arceus have better narrative feats).
Disadvantages
- Mewtwo’s defense stat is low relatively to the rest of his stats. Granted they’re still pretty high for a normal Pokémon, but still.
- When you look at individual Mewtwo, he’s significantly less powerful.
