Cloning is a process that creates a genetic duplicate of a being that is or was alive.
In the anime
The Poké Balls in which Mewtwo contained its cloning targets
Cloning has appeared a few times in the anime. Its most prominent appearance is in Mewtwo Strikes Back.
In The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin, Dr. Fuji creates an enhanced clone of Mew as requested by Giovanni in exchange for funding his primary project, a (failed) attempt to clone his dead daughter Amber, and three test clones of the Kanto starter Pokémon.
In Mewtwo Strikes Back, Mewtwo itself makes clones (Japanese: コピーポケモン Copy Pokémon) of various Pokémon belonging to the Trainers who have come to New Island. Mewtwo captures the target Pokémon in special Poké Balls—even those currently in their Poké Balls can be caught by these—then sends these Balls through a special cloning machine. All of Mewtwo's clones appear to have been created fully-grown, unlike Fuji's clones. All cloned Pokémon—excluding Mewtwo—appear identical to a normal Pokémon of their species, though a few of the clones have multiple black horizontal marks on their bodies.
Mewtwo's clones are also featured in Mewtwo Returns.
Cloning also plays a role in Genesect and the Legend Awakened, in which another Mewtwo was cloned from Mew's DNA by an unknown group.
Cloned Pokémon seen in the anime
