Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー Mewtwo) is a Psychic-type Pokémon. It is one of the more famous Legendary Pokémon, being the subject of two Pokémon Movies. You can capture it in Pokémon Red, Pokémon Green, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen after defeating the Elite Four, and upgrading the Sevii Islands Network Machine in FireRed/LeafGreen.

While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of two movies, it also made brief appearances in EP063 and EP064 in its body-armor. The first intance 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.

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

In the manga

In Pokémon Special Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered 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 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 an Entei Blaine befriended and Mewtwo left on his own, returning when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use Deoxys for neferios purposes. Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni.

In the TCG

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers Melee

Mewtwo can be unlocked after a lot of playing in VS. Mode; either after 700 matches or 20 hours of combined play. Despite Mewtwo being a Legendary Pokémon, most players of the game don't consider it to be a great fighter as Mewtwo's weight, speed and strength are contrary to it's real Pokémon statistics.
