==Biology==
  +
===Physiology===
  +
Mewtwo is a bipedal feline-like Pokémon. Its appearance is loosely based on [[Mew]], with a more of a mutated humanoid look in addition to its feline traits. Its body is purple and it has three fingers on each hand. Mewtwo projects a faint purple aura when at full power.
  +
  +
====Forms====
  +
[[File:Armor mewtwo.png|thumb|Armored Mewtwo]]
  +
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 another form exclusive to the ''Pocket Monsters'' manga, where it takes on the DNA of a Clefairy, becoming a shorter, fatter and much weaker version of itself.
  +
  +
===Special abilities===
  +
Mewtwo is highly adept at utilizing its [[Psychic (move)|Psychic]] powers, displaying telekinesis and telepathy as well. It utilizes it's telepathy to communicate with humans and translate the Pokémon language. It is able to [[Fly]], block special abilities, and expunge people's recollections as optically discerned in [[Pokémon the First Movie|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]. Mewtwo when caught has a base bliss of 0 and is verbally expressed to have the most savage heart of all Pokémon
  +
  +
==Evolution==
  +
Though Mewtwo doesn't evolve, Mewtwo has two [[Mega Pokémon|Mega Evolution]]s, which appear in the [[Pokemon X and Y]] games. Mega Mewtwo Y was the first of the two to be revealed. It is exclusive to Pokémon Y Version, making its anime debut in the movie: ''Extremespeed Genesect: Mewtwo's Awakening''. This new form drastically changes Mewtwo's appearance, moving its tail to its head, giving it a long head, and changing it's eye colour, feet and hands. Mewtwo can only evolve into this form by holding the Mewtwonite Y in battle. Mega Mewtwo X, exclusive to Pokémon X Version, gains the Fighting-type upon evolution. It does not change Mewtwo's appearance as drastically, but it gives it a more "armored" look. Mewtwo can only evolve into this form by holding the Mewtwonite X Mega Stone in battle.

Mewtwo's anime debut was in '''''Battle of the Badge!''''' where [[Giovanni]] used it against [[Gary]], who referred to it as an "evil" Pokémon. 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]]''.

===Manga===

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 Mewtwo. After a single encounter with the tornado that was Mewtwo, he met Blaine. Blaine told Red of his condition, and how if Mewtwo continued to rampage, both Blaine and it would die. Blaine then continued by showing Red his disfigured hand, a mark that Blaine shared with Mewtwo, and concluded his talk with Red by 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 defeat Mewtwo. Red, after stopping Blaine's attempted suicidal killing of Mewtwo, caught Mewtwo 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 and 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, Mewtwo has returned Cinnabar Island, training with Blaine.
