MechaMew2

MechaMew2 is a Robotic Pokémon seen only in Pokémon Live!. It is considered by its creator Giovanni to be the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Giovanni promised Trainers the very rare Diamond Badge to anyone who could defeat it. MechaMew2 is based on Mewtwo, another Pokémon whose creation was ordered by Giovanni. It destroys itself at the end of the show after learning an attack of love, caring, and friendship.

Biology

Physiology

MechaMew2 bares a resmblence to Mewtwo when it wore armor in The Battle of the Badge and It's Mr. Mime Time. Instead of legs, MechaMew2 uses tank-like treads to move around, and it carries a large power source on the front of its body.

Gender differences

As an artificially manufactered Pokémon, MechaMew2 is likely genderless.

Special abilities

MechaMew2 is able to learn any attack and amplify its power, and by the end of Pokémon Live! it had learned every move as of Generation I. This abiity allows it to know more than four attacks at once, making it the only Pokémon who can do so. After seeing Mewtwo's special attack of love, caring, and friendship, MechaMew2 learns the ability of speech, and possibly freewill, allowing it to rebel against Giovanni.

Behavior

Throughout Pokémon Live!, MechaMew2 shows no emotion or remorse for having to hurt Pokémon. MechaMew2 is defeated when Mewtwo uses an attack against it which was full of love, caring, and friendship. After experiencing these feelings, MechaMew2 decides it can no longer go along with Giovanni's evil plan, and it grabs Giovanni by the throat and performs Selfdestruct, destroying Giovanni's gym and itself.

Habitat

MechaMew2 is only shown at a Gym run by Giovanni, therefore it may be assumed that it is an Urban Pokémon.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Being a robot, it is likely that MechaMew2 feeds on energy.

In the TCG

MechaMew2's promo card

MechaMew2 never made an official appearance in the TCG; however, a promotional card was given out to attendees of the performance. The card is 7" tall by 5" wide, making it slightly smaller than the jumbo-sized Pokémon cards. The backside of the card features the Pokémon Live! logo, instead of the standard TCG card back; this was likely done to show its non-compatibility with the Trading Card Game.

VSTAR Power

This mechanical marvel was created by Giovanni, the diabolical leader of Team Rocket. It has the power to learn, then amplify and return, the attacks of any Pokémon it meets in battle, making it virtually unstoppable. To insure that MechaMew2 learns every type of Pokémon attack, Giovanni lures trainers to battle him by offering the one-of-a-kind Diamondbadge to whoever can defeat him.
