Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー Mewtwo) is a Psychic-type legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve to or from any other Pokémon.

It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of the first movie and, in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its total base stats. It is a member of the Mew duo along with Mew.

Biology

Physiology

Mewtwo is one of the first Pokémon created by science. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It is widely considered unique, because only one was genetically created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture, but has a few feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three circular digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes (sometimes 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 Psychic powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. It has a powerful signature move, Psystrike, and it is also known for its powerful Shadow Ball and Aura Sphere. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than 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 manga, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of Psywaves and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create a massive hurricane and is constantly protected from harm inside a reflective sphere of psychic energy. Altered in the English version, it is claimed that the hurricane was powerful enough to destroy the planet, as well as Mewtwo being able to block a Pokémon's "special abilities".

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 Amber (about whom it completely forgot while sleeping from tranquilizers after meeting her). 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

Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no natural habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in the lowest level of Cerulean Cave. Also, in the 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. However, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team, this artificial Pokémon is said to sleep in a cave located in the west.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

History

According to the scientific logs found in the Pokémon Mansion of Cinnabar Island, Mewtwo was born of a pregnant Mew, found deep in the jungles of Guyana, whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including Blaine and Dr. 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. It can be encountered in Cerulean Cave, which is unable to be accessed until after a Trainer has proven his or her skill at Indigo Plateau.

Major appearances

Mewtwo (anime)

While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of two movies, it also made brief appearances in The Battle of the Badge and Showdown at the Po-ké Corral in its body armor. The first instance was when Giovanni used it to battle Gary's Arcanine and Nidoking. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in It's Mr. Mime Time, it wasn't in the movie. Mewtwo made further appearances during the openings of Jirachi Wish Maker standing on a rooftop wearing a cape, in the intro of Destiny Deoxys and The Rise of Darkrai, chasing a Mew.

Other

A mirage Mewtwo appears in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the Mirage Master.

In the manga

Mewtwo as it appears in Pokémon Adventures

In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga

During the final volume of Magical Pokémon Journey, 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 Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: 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 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 Entei whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own, and the legendary Pokémon only returned in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use Deoxys for nefarious purposes. Finally starting to speak through its mind, 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 the Pokémon Get da ze! manga

Shū's father is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga

Main article: Blue's Mewtwo

Mewtwo is a Pokémon owned by Blue in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga. Mewtwo becomes a "gag Pokémon" when its DNA becomes mixed with Clefairy's.

Trivia

  • Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the first dub opening.
  • Mewtwo and Lugia have the highest base stat total of all Psychic-types.
  • In Generation I, Mewtwo had a base stat total of 590, the highest of any non-glitch Pokémon at the time. The Generation II special split increased its stat total to 680, where it was later joined by several other Pokémon and finally surpassed by Arceus's total of 720, and once again surpassed in the next generation by Kyurem's total of 700 in one of its new forms.
    • Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a 680 base stat total that is not a version mascot and is also the only one that is not part of any legendary trios.
  • A Shiny Mewtwo from Gold, Silver, and Crystal will appear black instead of green when viewed through Pokémon Stadium 2.
  • A journal quote from the Pokémon Mansion states that Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
  • Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except Dragon.
  • An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to Bill's lighthouse in Mystery at the Lighthouse, even though Mewtwo was a secret Pokémon in the anime at that time.
  • Although intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves, has two lower potential Pokéathlon stats, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense.
  • Although Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex.
  • Mewtwo is the only legendary Pokémon with a base stat total of 660 or higher that cannot learn AncientPower by any means.
  • While most other legendary Pokémon that are its equal in terms of base stat total have a signature move, Mewtwo did not receive one until Generation V, when it became the only Pokémon able to learn Psystrike.
  • Mewtwo's base stats are numerically the same as Lugia and Ho-Oh's, only with a different arrangement.
  • Mewtwo's known abilities are shared with another Pokémon, Vespiquen.
  • Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

Origin

Like Mew, Mewtwo has some feline characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of gene splicing. Mewtwo looks similar to Giygas's appearance in Mother; this may be because some of the people who had previously worked on the Mother series also worked on the Pokémon series. Mewtwo also shares some aspects with the Grey alien.

Name origin

Mewtwo is a combination of Mew (the Pokémon it originated from) and two (indicating that it is a clone). It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to mutant (myūtanto).
