Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー Myuutsuu) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Giovanni hired scientists from Cinnabar Island to create it, which they did using Mew's DNA. This is similar to Genesect being created by Team Plasma in the newer generations of pokemon using what many people say was Kabutops as the base. It is the final boss in Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs. Right after that, it gained levels of power, forcing the player to fight it twice. It later rescues Rand from a different dimension. It is the highest level Pokémon to be caught in Pokémon Fire Red and Pokémon Leaf Green, appearing at Level 70 in Cerulean Cave. It is the most powerful Pokémon in the Pokéverse.

Mewtwo's original name was Gigu-2 as a reference to the similar villain from Earthbound - Gieuge (better known as Giygas).

AppearanceEdit

Mewtwo is based loosely off of Mew with feline features. Its body is purple and it has three fingers on each hand. Mewtwo has a faint purple Aura emerging from it at full power. Mewtwo was stated as the world's most powerful Pokémon to exist.

Special abilitiesEdit

Mewtwo is highly adept at using its Psychic powers, displaying telekinesis and telepathy as well. It uses it's telepathy to communicate with humans and translate the Pokémon language. It is able to Fly and erase people's memories as seen in Mewtwo Strikes Back. Mewtwo when caught has a base happiness of 0, it is said to have the most savage heart of all Pokemon

AppearancesEdit

In the animeEdit

Mewtwo's anime debut was in Battle of the Badge! where Giovanni used it against Gary, who referred to it as an "evil" pokemon. Mewtwo again appeared in It's Mr. Mime Time briefly. Mewtwo also appeared in Showdown at the Poké-Corral! where it escaped from Giovanni's gym, as seen in the movie. Mewtwo has been the focus of a few movies, being the main Pokémon in Mewtwo Strikes Back, in Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon under the control of Dr. Yung and Extremespeed Genesect and the Reawakening of Mewtwo. Mewtwo was also the star of the movie; Mewtwo Returns.

In the mangaEdit

It was created by Blaine in a laboratory and went on a rampage, almost destroying Cerulean City. When Red heard about "The Monster of Cerulean City", he decided to catch it. After a single encounter with the tornado that was Mewtwo, he met Blaine. Blaine told Red of his condition, how if Mewtwo continued to rampage, both Blaine and it would die. Blaine then continued to show Red his disfigured hand, a mark that he shared with Mewtwo, and concluded his talk with Red, declaring he intended to kill Mewtwo, in order to put it out of its misery, and also to save his own life. Red later encountered Blaine attempting to finish Mewtwo. Red, after stopping Blaine's attempted suicidal killing of Mewtwo, caught it using his whole team, and launching Pika with the Master Ball in its mouth, catching Mewtwo for Blaine. Blaine decided to train and raise Mewtwo as his own. Later, Mewtwo appeared alongside Blaine, battling a child helping them train. Blaine assisted Yellow from then on out, being paired with Yellow by Sabrina's Alakazam. In this setting, we learn that Mewtwo needs to rest in its Poké Ball, and if it was released for too long (over 5 minutes), it would die. It then appeared again in the FireRed and LeafGreen chapter, being loaned to Red by Blaine. It aided the Pokédex holders in stopping 9 Forretress from blowing up Neo Team Rocket's airship with Explosion, and with fighting Deoxys. Since then, it is back on Cinnabar Island, training with Blaine.

FormsEdit

Mewtwo has an Anime/Manga exclusive form named Armored Mewtwo in the anime, and M2 Bind in the Manga. In the anime the form increases all of Mewtwo's Psychic abilities, and in the Manga it allows Giovanni to control it.

Mewtwo also has an Awakend form due to appear in the Pokemon X and Y games, and making its anime debut in the movie: Extremespeed Genesect: Mewtwo's Awakening. The form drastically changes Mewtwo's apperance, removing its tail, giving it a long head, and changing it's eye colour, feet and hands.

Name originsEdit

Mewtwo's name comes from the word 'Mew', which is like a cat meowing, and 'two' because it's a clone of Mew. It is based on a DNA scientific cat.

TriviaEdit

Although it is a clone of Mew, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex possibly because Mew is a Mythical Pokémon and Mythicals always come last in the PokéDex.
Mewtwo was created from one of Mew's cells.
Mewtwo is the only Pokémon thus far to be created as a result of cloning, but not the only one to be created scientifically. The only other Pokémon to be created scientifically are Castform, Porygon, Porygon2, and Porygon Z.
- Other Pokémon whose existence is aided by science are Fossil Pokémon and Genesect.
Mewtwo is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be caught in exactly the same place in every Generation (in Generation 1 to 4, the Kanto region which Mewtwo appears in did not make an appearance in Generation 5 and neither did Mewtwo, Mewtwo is set to appear in Generation 6 but details about where it is available to catch etc are currently unknown).
Mew and Mewtwo's character designs were based on Giygas (his form in Mother), the most frequent final boss and major antagonist of the EarthBound series.
Despite what most people think, just because Mew is after Mewtwo in the PokéDex doesn't mean it was discovered first. That would mean Charmander, apparently a rare Pokémon, was discovered before Rattata, a common Pokémon.
Mewtwo originally had the highest base stat total, being 680. It was joined by other Legendary Pokémon after Generation 1, but was finally surpassed by Arceus in Generation IV.
The title "Mewtwo Strikes Back!" has a small reference to the title of the Japanese version of EarthBound which is "MOTHER 2: Giygas Strikes Back!". However, this may be a more likely reference to Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Mewtwo is compatible with almost every TM.
There was a rumor of a Mewthree, but it was revealed that it was just Mewtwo in armour. In Mewtwo Strikes Back, it was revealed that the scientists who created Mewtwo were about to start making Mewthree, but Mewtwo destroyed the lab. Rumours of a Mewthree started up when a picture was released for a supposedly new Pokemon to appear in Generation VI's X and Y however this turned out to be Mewtwo's new alternate form, the awakened form.
Mewtwo is playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but didn't appear in the sequel Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Lucario appears in its place.
- Although there is plenty of data in the game that suggests it was going to be, including a victory image.
Although it was created by scientists, it has a shiny form, possibly another creation of scientists.
In Generation V, Mewtwo was given a signature move, Psystrike.
According to Team Rocket's diaries left in mansion, Mewtwo's birth day is February the 6th.
According to the manga Mewtwo contains human cells from gym leader Blaine.
Despite being genderless, Mewtwo's mental voice sounds masculine in the two movies it has been featured in and has been mistaken for male by numerous fans.
Mewtwo, a Generation I Pokémon, gained a signature move and a new form in Generation V and VI, respectively.
Although Mewtwo is meant to be a clone of Mew, it is taller and heavier than Mew.
