'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].


It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon.
While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:


It is one of the most famous legendary Pokémon, being the subject of the [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the very first Pokémon movie]], [[Mewtwo Returns|a later special]] that continues its story, and as a fighter in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].  
* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using [[Mewtwonite Y]].
 
It is associated with {{p|Mew}}, and thus they are collectively referred to as the [[Mew duo]] by fans.


==Biology==
==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first Pokémon created by science. The scientists who created it dreamed of making the strongest Pokémon ever.
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.
 
According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Mr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon of all. It was held and studied in the mansion where horrific gene-splicing experiments were made making the Pokémon vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free and fled the Mansion, destroying it in the process. It is widely known as one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence and is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and {{a|Pressure|striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes}}. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in a [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] {{kal|Unknown Dungeon|cave}} somewhere.
 
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} exemplified its vicious characteristics. It was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy, mind control, memory erasure, teleporting others to another location, and the creation of powerful storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' also shared its aversion to contact with others but was much less belligerent. As shown in [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can also transfer a [[human]]'s soul into a Pokémon's body provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing this person to gain control of the Pokémon's body and abilities. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01|It}} possesses a rivalry with {{OBP|Mew|M01}}. As seen in ''Genesect and the Legend Awakened'', Mewtwo can breathe in outer space. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, it's revealed {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the amount of Mew's cells gathered, so to complete it, human cells were used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientist|scientist]] [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life.


===Physiology===
Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Psystrike}}.
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 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.
;Shadow Mewtwo
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo, called [[Shadow Mewtwo]], is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of [[Shadow Synergy Stone]] coming out of its shoulder. In the past, {{OBP|Anne|Pokkén}} was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around [[Ferrum]], draining Gaia Power from other normal [[Synergy Stone]]s, which continuously increases its power.

====Gender differences====
===Forms===
This Pokémon is genderless, and is unique.
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X by using [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Synergy Burst]].


====Special abilities====
[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can fly through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a slightly lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}).  
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from V-shaped ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its torso is smooth and small compared to its long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connects the collar and underbelly. Its forearms and thighs each have two raised ridges and its digits are now longer and thinner. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. When using moves in battle, it is shown to be able to stretch its arms and legs.


In the [[Pokémon Special]] {{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.
<!--[[File:Mega Shadow Mewtwo X.png|thumb|right|250px|Mega Shadow Mewtwo X.]]-->
Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The stone's infection spreads not only to its tail, but to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.


Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create massive hurricanes powerful enough to destroy the planet.
Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail and also slightly resembles [[Jessie|Jessie's]] hairstyle. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two. Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought.


===Behavior===
{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; font-size:80%"
Mewtwo is 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.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: [[Pokémon Stadium#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* {{g|Puzzle League}}: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones {{Ash}}'s Pokémon. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. His slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom he defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts him at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
* {{g|Quest}}: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the [[Chamber of Legends]]. It discretely takes control of [[MoBee]] to talk to the [[player (Quest)|player]], in order to lure the player across [[Tumblecube Island]] and collect the {{OBP|statue|Quest}}s that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about [[Happenstance Island]].

==In the games==
====In events====
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 [[In-battle effect item#Berserk Gene|Berserk Gene]] in a lake near the collapsed Cerulean Cave (implying that the encounter did happen).

While {{an|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.

===In Pokémon Special===
{{Base Stats
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 {{Special|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] but were defeated when their condition weakened them. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}} whom Blaine had earlier befriended. 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.

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.

Ironically for its legendary status, Mewtwo is considered to be the poorest character when played at the highest metagame. It is easy to knock off the stage due to its large body and light weight. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, does not have any fast defensive options and also has general problems with some of its other moves. This all leads to Mewtwo's position in the bottom tier.

====Trophy information====
====By {{pkmn|breeding}}====
=====Classic Mode=====
{{learnlist/breedh/9|Mewtwo|Psychic|Psychic|2}}
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.
{{learnlist/breed9null}}
{{learnlist/breedf/9|Mewtwo|Psychic|Psychic|2}}


=====Adventure Mode=====
===={{Trading Card Game}}-only moves====
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=====
===Side game data===
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]]===
In {{g|GO}}, Mewtwo can be obtained by completing the [[Special Research]], ''Level 50 Challenge''.
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 but this does show that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game as there is the picture for ending classic mode of Mewtwo, and Mewtwo's voice was also found on the disc, but there is a chance that the data for Mewtwo is merely recycled from Melee.  Mewtwo does appear as a collectible trophy after clearing All-Star mode on Intense difficulty, however.

{{spoilers}}
Similar to the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Mewtwo was created by [[Team Rocket]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. It first appeared in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'' at [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's hideout]], where it was still incomplete. It was completed by [[Blaine]] sometime before ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', where it escaped from the hideout and settled into [[Cerulean Cave]]. The completion process involved Blaine using cells from his own arm, inadvertently also placing some of Mewtwo's cells into it. {{adv|Red}} and Blaine battled Mewtwo together, with Red eventually capturing it with Blaine's [[Master Ball]] in ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'' and leaving it under the [[Gym Leader]]'s care.
 
Mewtwo also made further appearances in later arcs of the manga. In the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}, it assisted {{adv|Yellow}} and Blaine in battling against [[Lance]] on [[Cerise Island]]. In ''[[PS162|Heckled by Hitmontop]]'', {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Entei}} burned away the Mewtwo cells in Blaine's body, allowing Mewtwo to live on its own and become a [[wild Pokémon]] again. It returned in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, teaming up with Red, the only person to have put it in a [[Poké Ball]], to fight against {{adv|Giovanni}} and his {{adv|Deoxys}}. During this appearance, it was revealed to have gained the ability to {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} telepathically.
 
In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, Mewtwo reappeared in [[Kalos]], having reunited with Blaine and become the protector of [[Pokémon Village]]. When [[Team Flare]] started capturing Pokémon from the village, Mewtwo attacked [[Lysandre]] and fought the {{adv|Zygarde}} under his control, demonstrating its ability [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into both of its Mega forms in the process.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* 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.
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
** Mewtwo was initially the only Pokémon with a [[base stat]] total of 590 (increased to 680 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.
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
* In [[Pokémon Special]], shortly after Mewtwo was revealed, ironically, (although no one knew what it was) {{Special|Red}} mentioned there being 150 Pokémon, not knowing about Mew. After this, {{Special|Blue}} contradicted Red, saying there were 151, and most [[Pokémon Breeder]]s' goals included finding Mew, to whom they referred to as #151, Mew. However, none of these people knew about #150, as it was secretly being created when this was pointed out, so only [[Team Rocket]], Red, and Blue knew about Mewtwo.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* In the games, Mew was said to have given live birth to Mewtwo during Generation I. Pokémon were shown to hatch from {{pkmn|egg}}s, however, in the following generation. The statement about Mew giving birth remains in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, a Mythical Pokémon, Mewtwo is a Legendary Pokémon.
* For unknown reasons, a {{shiny2}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]], as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* One of Mewtwo's alternate "costumes" in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] makes it green, similar to its normal shiny form.
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|animated series}} opening appearances of any [[Legendary Pokémon]], with seven in Japan.
* In the games, its birthday is February 6, as stated in a journal quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several [[Mega Evolution]] similarities. Both Pokémon are the only ones to have two Mega Evolutions instead of one. Both of their Y Mega Evolutions were revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their typing in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are physically oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are specially oriented.
* In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mewtwo's Standard Special attack, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{p|Jigglypuff}}, a {{type2|Normal}}, which it would not normally be able to do. This is not usually considered a true representation of the move, as in other games of that series, moves that are usually super-effective against a type do not apply, e.g. in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] {{p|Charizard}}'s Flamethrower does not deal massive amounts of damage to {{p|Lucario}} or {{p|Ivysaur}}, and similarly does not deal very low damage to {{p|Squirtle}}.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientist|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the animated series. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* Although Mewtwo's signature move in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as well as in the {{pkmn|anime}}, is Shadow Ball, it can't learn Shadow Ball without [[TM30]].
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
*Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|animated series}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first [[Mega Evolution]] revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the animated series, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクト ミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Eternatus|Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
*** Mega Mewtwo X's Attack increase is the largest single stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, at 80 points.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon and the highest single base stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* Mewtwo is currently the only Legendary Pokémon in {{g|GO}} to have an [[Event Pokémon (GO)|event-exclusive form]].
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Mewtwo is the result of humankind's attempts at creating a genetically enhanced clone of a Pokémon.
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.


Its nature and origin are similar to elements of {{wp|Mary Shelly}}'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.
Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.


====Name origin====
====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).
Mewtwo may be a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' or ''mutant (ミュータント)'' and ''two''.

Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー Mewtwo) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into two different forms:

It is associated with Mew, and thus they are collectively referred to as the Mew duo by fans.

Biology

Mewtwo is an artificial Pokémon. It is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

According to journals found in Kanto's Pokémon Mansion, after discovering the Mythical Pokémon Mew and gathering some of its DNA, Mr. Fuji used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon of all. It was held and studied in the mansion where horrific gene-splicing experiments were made making the Pokémon vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free and fled the Mansion, destroying it in the process. It is widely known as one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence and is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in a dark cave somewhere.

In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Mewtwo exemplified its vicious characteristics. It was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy, mind control, memory erasure, teleporting others to another location, and the creation of powerful storms. However, it was later shown to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another Mewtwo in Genesect and the Legend Awakened also shared its aversion to contact with others but was much less belligerent. As shown in POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, Mewtwo can also transfer a human's soul into a Pokémon's body provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing this person to gain control of the Pokémon's body and abilities. It possesses a rivalry with Mew. As seen in Genesect and the Legend Awakened, Mewtwo can breathe in outer space. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, it's revealed Mewtwo's creation wasn't possible with the amount of Mew's cells gathered, so to complete it, human cells were used instead, specifically from the Team Rocket scientist Blaine. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life.

Mewtwo is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Psystrike.

Shadow Mewtwo

A unique variant of Mewtwo, called Shadow Mewtwo, is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of Shadow Synergy Stone coming out of its shoulder. In the past, Anne was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around Ferrum, draining Gaia Power from other normal Synergy Stones, which continuously increases its power.

Forms

Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X by using Synergy Burst.

Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.

Mega Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from V-shaped ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its torso is smooth and small compared to its long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connects the collar and underbelly. Its forearms and thighs each have two raised ridges and its digits are now longer and thinner. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. When using moves in battle, it is shown to be able to stretch its arms and legs.

Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The stone's infection spreads not only to its tail, but to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail and also slightly resembles Jessie's hairstyle. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a sternum replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two. Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought.

  • Pokémon Stadium: Mewtwo is the player's final opponent.
  • Pokémon Pinball: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
  • Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil Edward "The Thinker", and again under Purple Eyes. Before this, it is seen charging up in Kasa's laboratory in the Sky Fortress.
  • Pokémon Puzzle League: Mewtwo reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones Ash's Pokémon. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the Western Cave. His slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and Charizard, whom he defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts him at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
  • Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Mewtwo appears, having Mega Evolved into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the Tree of Life's ascent into space. Like all the other Legendary Pokémon gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when Dark Matter is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the Island of Isolation as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
  • Pokémon Quest: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the Chamber of Legends. It discretely takes control of MoBee to talk to the player, in order to lure the player across Tumblecube Island and collect the statues that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about Happenstance Island.

Similar to the animated series, Mewtwo was created by Team Rocket in Pokémon Adventures. It first appeared in Tauros the Tyrant at Team Rocket's hideout, where it was still incomplete. It was completed by Blaine sometime before And Mewtwo Too?!, where it escaped from the hideout and settled into Cerulean Cave. The completion process involved Blaine using cells from his own arm, inadvertently also placing some of Mewtwo's cells into it. Red and Blaine battled Mewtwo together, with Red eventually capturing it with Blaine's Master Ball in And Mewtwo... Three! and leaving it under the Gym Leader's care.

Mewtwo also made further appearances in later arcs of the manga. In the Yellow arc, it assisted Yellow and Blaine in battling against Lance on Cerise Island. In Heckled by Hitmontop, Entei burned away the Mewtwo cells in Blaine's body, allowing Mewtwo to live on its own and become a wild Pokémon again. It returned in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, teaming up with Red, the only person to have put it in a Poké Ball, to fight against Giovanni and his Deoxys. During this appearance, it was revealed to have gained the ability to talk telepathically.

In the X & Y arc, Mewtwo reappeared in Kalos, having reunited with Blaine and become the protector of Pokémon Village. When Team Flare started capturing Pokémon from the village, Mewtwo attacked Lysandre and fought the Zygarde under his control, demonstrating its ability Mega Evolve into both of its Mega forms in the process.

Trivia

Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura
  • One of the Pokémon Mansion journals states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
    • The same journal implies Mew was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
  • Mewtwo comes before Mew in the Pokédex despite being created from its modified DNA.
  • Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, a Mythical Pokémon, Mewtwo is a Legendary Pokémon.
  • Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the first dub opening.
  • Mewtwo has the most animated series opening appearances of any Legendary Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
  • Mewtwo and Charizard share several Mega Evolution similarities. Both Pokémon are the only ones to have two Mega Evolutions instead of one. Both of their Y Mega Evolutions were revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their typing in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are physically oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are specially oriented.
  • Mewtwo is depicted on the door of Bill's lighthouse in Mystery at the Lighthouse, despite having only been seen by its creators and Team Rocket at that point in the animated series. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in Viridian Gym, despite being a public area.
  • The island country of Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
  • Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the animated series and manga, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
  • Mega Mewtwo Y was the first Mega Evolution revealed to the public.
    • It was also the first to appear in the animated series, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
    • Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 Awakened Form.[1] This term was also used in the manga adaptation of the movie.
    • Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by Tomohiro Kitakaze.[2]
  • Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega Rayquaza for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable Eternamax Eternatus.
    • Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base Special Attack of all Fighting-type Pokémon.
      • Mega Mewtwo X's Attack increase is the largest single stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, at 80 points.
    • Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon and the highest single base stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
      • With a Mild Nature, perfect IVs, and optimized EVs, a Level 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
  • In Pokémon GO, Shadow Mewtwo is the only Shadow Pokémon that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
  • Mewtwo is currently the only Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO to have an event-exclusive form.
  • In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, wild Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a Berserk Gene, but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
  • Lugia and Ho-Oh's base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.

Origin

Like Mew, Mewtwo has some embryo characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of gene splicing. It also has some characteristics of a grey alien and a salamander.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate embryo.

Name origin

Mewtwo may be a combination of Mew or mutant (ミュータント) and two.
