ShinySkitty: Um, no. This is not the anime. Giovanni had nothing to do with it.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} [[Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon.

It is one of the most famous legendary Pokémon, being the subject of the [[M01|the very first Pokémon movie]], [[Mewtwo Returns|a later special]] that continues its story, and as a fighter in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of the first clone to be made by him. It is widely considered to be unique, due to the fact that only one was genetically created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

===Physiology===
Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture, but has many feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes (some times blue when attacking) and two short ears.

One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can {{a|levitate}} through use of telekinesis (though it can't have this ability), speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to the maximum power.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}}s and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create massive hurricanes thought to be powerful enough to destroy the planet.

===Behavior===
Due to its early visions of the human race, Mewtwo is known to be very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from the repeated recombining of its DNA and the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}}. During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature to the point of surrendering to [[Giovanni]] just to keep its fellow clones safe.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in [[Cerulean Cave]]'s basement. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. It generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave.

===Diet===
unknown

==In the games==
According to the scientific logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}} whose embryo had been tampered with and its DNA had been repetitively spliced. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]] (now known as Mr. Fuji), performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled to [[Cerulean Cave|the Unknown Dungeon]]. There, the {{player}} may capture it after beating the [[Elite Four]]. Cerulean Cave collapses [[Generation II|three years later]], and it leaves the mysterious {{DL|In-battle effect item|Berserk Gene}} in a lake near the collapsed Cerulean Cave (implying that the encounter did happen). However, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} restored the cave and left Mewtwo in it, proving that Red never did encounter it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Capture14.png|thumb|right|250px|Mewtwo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mewtwo (anime)]]====
While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of two {{pkmn|movie}}s, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when [[Giovanni]] used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
Mewtwo appears chasing a {{p|Mew}} during the opening of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Mewtwo (Adventures)}}
Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{adv|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}} whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own, and the legendary Pokémon only returned when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{p|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni, and with Red's help managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed him. It has a Quiet [[nature]].

===In Pokémon Get da ze!===
[[Shū's father]] is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

===In Magical Pokémon Journey===
During the final volume of [[Magical Pokémon Journey|this manga]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, and gets trapped by Mewtwo.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mewtwo (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo in SSBM]]
Mewtwo is a playable character and is unlocked after a lot of playing in VS. Mode; either after 700 matches or 20 hours of combined play. The time taken is reduced by the number of human players, so Mewtwo can be unlocked after just five hours if four players are playing for the whole time.

Due to its large body and light weight, Mewtwo is easy to knock off the stage. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, lacks any fast defensive options, and also has general problems with some of its other moves such as lengthy charging and ending lag.

To make up for this, out of all other playable Pokémon, Mewtwo is the strongest in terms of percent-racking; has a tail with longer reach than most other fighters' moves; has an excellent recovery; has some of the most powerful throws in the game; and, when charged, has the strongest projectile of all playable characters ({{m|Shadow Ball}}).

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was born from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.

=====Adventure Mode=====
As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. {{m|Shadow Ball}} traces a jagged path once released: the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses {{m|Confusion}} to spin its foes around.

=====All-Star Mode=====
Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. {{m|Teleport}} has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses {{m|Disable}}; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Mewtwo was cut from the sequel's roster. Internal data features data for seven characters not in the roster; Mewtwo included. It is currently unknown if it will be possible to utilize this data in any way. Known existing data within the game include: a Classic mode "Congratulations" picture for Mewtwo; unused voice files and sound effects; and even an empty audio file for the Wiimote, whenever he would be selected on the playable roster. While there is a possibility that some of the data for Mewtwo was merely recycled from Melee, recent hacking has proven that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game, having the most scrapped in-game files than any of the other cut characters. Instead, Mewtwo appears as a collectible trophy after clearing All-Star mode on Intense difficulty.
====Trophy information====
A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic- type attacks.

===Merchandise===
Mewtwo was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, two Mewtwo are holding a 150 Crest with a DNA Strand as its Header. On top of it is a crown with a Poké Ball as its Jewel.

===NPC appearances===
*{{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Mewtwo is the player's final opponent.
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: {{ga|Silver}} uses a Mewtwo in the final battle.

==Trivia==
* Though it comes before {{p|Mew}} in the Pokédex, it has to have been found after Mew, due to the fact that it was cloned from Mew.
* Mewtwo has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} in the game, surpassed only by the Attack Forme of {{p|Deoxys}}. This makes it the Pokémon with the highest Special Attack if event Pokémon are not counted.
* Mewtwo was initially the only Pokémon with a [[base stat]] total of 590 (increased to 680, due to the Special split, from [[Generation II]] onwards), at the time the highest in the game. It was later joined by {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|several other Pokémon}}, and finally surpassed by {{p|Arceus}}'s total of 720.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* For unknown reasons, a {{shiny2}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* In the games, its birthday is February 6, as stated in a journal quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that is not a [[version mascot]].
* While widely regarded as the most powerful Pokémon, Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is incredibly weak, with only one damaging move, itself a [[physical move]], and three status moves that only affect stats, completely counter to Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in all previous games in which it was available, which featured {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Swift}}, and another status move. It is unknown why Mewtwo's level-up learnset was not altered between DPPt and HGSS considering that this happened to both Lugia and Ho-Oh, its equals in terms of stats, and also happened between RSE and FRLG for its own learnset.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', which would mark it first minor appearance in the anime, as well as implying that Bill knows about the creature.
* Mewtwo is the first, and currently the only Pokémon created by {{wp|Genetic engineering}}.
* Mewtwo, though officially genderless like most legendary Pokémon, speaks with an unmistakably masculine voice when it communictes through telepathy. This is interesting, due to the fact that it originated basically as an enhaced clone of {{p|Mew}}, who, though it does not speak at any point through telepathy, seems to have a much more feminine sound to its cry.
*It is also interesting to note that, though intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves via tutors and TMs then {{p|Mew}}, shares few learned moves with it, has lower potential Pokéathlon stats in two respects with it, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense than it.

===Origin===
Mewtwo is the result of humankind's attempts at creating a genetically enhanced clone of a Pokémon.

Its nature and origin are similar to elements of {{wp|Mary Shelley}}'s ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}'', in which a life-form created through unnatural means turns on its creators. Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of gene-splicing.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo's name is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'', referring to the Pokémon on which it was based, and ''two'', indicating that it is a clone of Mew. It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

Talk:List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2009

ShinySkitty:

...um, how do we ''already'' know the Regigigas Wonder Card... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

:::More like it leaked and we have the info from the leak. http://db.pokesav.org/main/?q=01-31-09-Regigigas-TRU-Toys-R-Us has the info in it. --[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 20:29, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

=Darn=
I just found out about all these cool toys r us giveaways, you think there will ever be a second chance to get these pokemon legitimately?[[User:Summerscythe|Summerscythe]] 16:45, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:Doubt it. Nintendo rarely ever gives second chances for event Pokémon. :/ There are often other ways to obtain these Pokémon, though, for example the Pokémon Ranger games or the Colusseum series for GameCube. -[[User:Zesty Cactus|Zesty Cactus]]

== Pichu and Arceus ==

Is the location for these Pokémon correct? As far as I know, Movie 09 is the movie of {{p|Manaphy}}. It should be Movie 12... but I may be wrong. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 10:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

== European Regigigas ==

Since the UK Regigigas and Italy Regigigas are merged now, shouldn't we add a #switch on the OT, as the OT are different from each other.

Also, the Europe VGC Milotic, the French one is MILOBELLUS, not MILOTIC. Sure we add a #switch to the Pokémon Name or add a new Template for it, like the Europe Shaymin? [[User:Deathgabriel|Deat]][[User talk:Deathgabriel|hgab]][[User:Deathgabriel/Collection|riel]] 07:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
:Both fixed. Could you please add info on the French one you were talking about, most specifically the dates? Thanks. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 12:18, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

== 10 Aniv. Mew ==

Do we have a pic of the Premier Ribbon in the archives? Because it currently says Classic Ribbon - which isn't accurate... [[User:LugiaRocks|LugiaPwns]] 22:41, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

==Movie 12 Arceus==
When I got the movie 12 Arceus in Australia, the OT is "Michina". Can we change it? I think it's better than the Japanese name.~ [[User:ShinySkitty|ShinySkitty]]
