Note: This is a full composite analysis on Mewtwo. This will include all of the Pokémon video games, anime, manga, and any other media sources besides the trading card game. It goes without saying, but variations of Mewtwo that are clearly not Mewtwo, such as Mirage Mewtwo or the toy Mewtwo in the Pokémon Rumble series, will not be included. Lastly, since Mewtwo is a Legendary Pokémon, items and moves that it doesn’t have naturally but has shown to be capable of using will be included due to there being instances where wild Mewtwo have had items or used unnaturally learned moves. Sources of where Mewtwo uses said items and unnatural moves will be given. However, items and moves that Mewtwo receives from events will not be included.
Background
Twenty years ago, the villainous Team Rocket discovered the existence of the Mythical Psychic-type Pokémon Mew via a recording that was taken in a South American jungle. The search for this rare creature wouldn’t be easy, but after many years of failure, Team Rocket’s new boss Giovanni sent an expedition team to Guyana, where they discovered a fossilized eyelash belonging to Mew.
Giovanni then funded a scientist named Dr. Fuji, helping him in his studies of cloning so that he could try to clone Mew using the DNA from its eyelash in order to create the world’s most powerful Pokémon, which he agreed to do so that he could find a way to clone his deceased daughter Amber. Fuji ended up being successful, resulting in clones of other Pokémon, Amber, and the newly born clone of Mew, called Mewtwo. However, after becoming close friends with the other clones and learning a lot from Amber, they all died. Only Mewtwo survived due to Mew’s immortal life force.
Worried that the emotional trauma of seeing its friends die would be too much for Mewtwo, Fuji suppressed its emotions by erasing its memories. This only led to his downfall though, as when Mewtwo matured, it destroyed the lab it was born in and escaped, confused about what its purpose was and not wanting to be just an experiment used by humans. After meeting with Giovanni, it worked with him for a while, learning and honing its abilities before it became tired of being used by Team Rocket after hearing that Giovanni didn’t see themselves as equals.
Growing a strong hatred for humans, it escaped yet again and tried to prove to the world that cloned Pokémon were superior to non-cloned Pokémon, conquering it in the process. However, after seeing the sacrifice made by a Trainer named Ash Ketchum during its battle with Mew, and seeing how both original and cloned Pokémon felt the same and were all living beings with purposes, Mewtwo had a change of heart. It then erased everyone’s memories so that they didn’t remember such an awful event and flew away with all of its clones to find a place where they could live in peace.
Giovanni eventually found Mewtwo and the other clones residing in Mount Quena, but after reencountering Ash again, who decided to help, Team Rocket’s plan to recapture it was foiled, as their memories of its existence were erased entirely. This also led Mewtwo to the conclusion that each life serves its own purpose, so instead of erasing everyone’s memories and keeping all of its cloned friends couped up in a mountain forever for their own safety, it let them all go free to live their lives like any other living being, who can look upon the past just as much as they can look forward to the future. Mewtwo also left, traveling the world in order to find the meaning of its life, and eventually resided in a city, where it lurks in the shadows of the night.

Equipment
M2 Bind
The armor that Mewtwo donned while it worked with Team Rocket. It provides protection at the cost of restraining its powers.
Mewtwo Balls
Poké Balls specifically designed to capture other people’s Pokémon and always be successful. They fly around and chase after Pokémon on their own and can even capture Pokémon while they’re already inside other Poké Balls.
Bright Powder
A bag of powder that casts a tricky glare, which lowers Mewtwo’s opponents’ accuracy by 10%. Held in Pokémon Gold, Silver, or Crystal Versions when traded over from Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow Versions.
Twisted Spoon
A spoon imbued with telekinetic power that boosts the power of Mewtwo’s Psychic-type moves by 20%. Held in Pokémon Stadium 2.
King’s Rock
A rocky crown that makes it so that whenever Mewtwo attacks its opponent, there is a 10% chance of flinching them, making them briefly unable to fight back. Held in Pokémon Stadium 2.
Berserk Gene
The gene of Mew after it was recombined during Mewtwo’s creation in order to make it extremely aggressive, which can be found in its cells. When activated in battle, it sharply raises its Attack at the cost of it becoming indefinitely confused. However, as it is a part of Mewtwo’s cells, it is unlikely that it would become confused under normal circumstances. Also, when its cells, so by extension this gene, are out in the world, it can feel them being out there, though it is unable to tell exactly where they are. And if its cells end up in another’s body, it allows Mewtwo to sense that person if they’re nearby and vice versa if it possesses that person’s cells. Lastly, someone with Mewtwo’s cells in them will eventually die due to the cells taking control of their body, though Mewtwo can prevent this if its body isn’t strained.
Havoc Robe
A robe specifically to be held by Mewtwo that forces its opponent to exert twice as much energy than they normally would when fighting.
Mist Looplet
An accessory called a looplet that can hold items called emeras in them, which grant beneficial passive effects. There are many types of emeras, which can only be found in dungeons. They also shatter to dust very easily if not touched after a certain amount of time, though enough collected emera dust can create a new one. Also, if emeras are taken out of a dungeon, they will simply disappear. A looplet can also only hold so many emeras, with this one having four notches. While emeras are mostly used for their main effects, Mewtwo can also use emeras on itself to raise its stats, with each emera raising a certain stat based on its color. Certain looplets also have a passive effect of their own. This specific looplet makes it so that Mewtwo exerts no energy while fighting sometimes at random. The following is a list of all the emeras Mewtwo can find and place into its looplet:

Mewtwonite X
A mysterious Mega Stone capable of Mega Evolving Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X. As Mega Mewtwo X, its Attack, Defense, and Special Defense increase greatly, which is due to its psychic powers being augmented into its muscles. This form grants Mewtwo other passive perks, such as making it part Fighting-type and changing its Ability to Steadfast, which raises its Speed each time it flinches. It also lets it elastically stretch its limbs out and perform a powerful attack called Psydisaster, where Mewtwo captures its opponent with its psychic powers and traps them in an alternate dimension before focusing all of its strength into one of its fists and performing one disastrous punch so powerful that a vortex of psychic energy engulfs its victim. This also goes through all types of guards.
Mewtwonite Y
A mysterious Mega Stone capable of Mega Evolving Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo Y. As Mega Mewtwo Y, its Attack, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed increase greatly, at the cost of lower Defense, which is due to its mental power growing phenomenally, even with its smaller size. This form also changes its Ability to Insomnia, which prevents it from being forced asleep.
Shadow Synergy Stone
A devastating stone that possesses and merges with a host. When taken over, Mewtwo becomes corrupted and transforms into Shadow Mewtwo. As Shadow Mewtwo, its destructive potential increases immensely, and it can become even stronger by absorbing Synergy Power, which is a mysterious energy created by normal Synergy Stones by converting Gaia, the energy of the earth, into it. Synergy Power possesses the ability to vitalize any and all living creatures. Shadow Mewtwo is capable of absorbing Gaia as well, and it possesses other abilities besides draining these energies, such as firing off blasts of energy to attack, creating expanding energy barriers, stopping and reversing time, warping the space around it, erasing things from existence, and creating entire subspace rifts just to fight opponents in. The latter of which, called the Dark Colosseum, possesses shards of Shadow Synergy Stones and spots that erupt with massive amounts of Synergy Power on occasion, though it can also create a version of the colosseum that doesn’t contain any spots that erupt with Synergy Power. However, due to the Shadow Synergy Stone’s nature, using moves drains Mewtwo’s health.
But that’s not everything it can do, as Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X as Shadow Mewtwo, which not only boosts its power even greater than just normal Mega Mewtwo X or Shadow Mewtwo, but allows it to use moves without draining its health. As Shadow Mega Mewtwo X, it can also perform a powerful attack called Dark Nova, where Mewtwo charges up and releases a wave of dark energy all around itself before going into space and creating and throwing a giant dark energy ball that explodes and covers most of the planet. This also pierces through most guards. Realistically, Mewtwo should also be capable of transforming into Mega Mewtwo Y as Shadow Mewtwo, though this has never been shown.
Powers & Abilities
Moveset
Mewtwo has a large set of moves at its disposal, with it having many different types and effects. While its Attack and Special Attack are both high, its Special Attack is higher, making all of its special moves much more potent compared to its physical moves. Though, which it’s best at also depends on if Mewtwo is Mega Evolved or not, as Mega Mewtwo X prefers physical moves with its higher Attack while Mega Mewtwo Y still focuses on special moves with its much greater Special Attack. It should also be noted that due to being a Psychic-type Pokémon, Mewtwo's Psychic-type attacks deal 50% more damage. As Mega Mewtwo X, its Fighting-type attacks will also deal 50% more damage due to becoming part Fighting-type. The following is a list of all the moves Mewtwo can use:
Laser Focus: A Normal-type status move. Mewtwo concentrates intensely, making it so its next attack always deals a critical hit, which deals half as much more damage than usual.
Psywave: A Psychic-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo creates an odd, hot psychic wave to attack its opponent, which deals a random amount of damage to them determined by Mewtwo’s level. It can also alter the psychic energy from it, allowing it to fire powerful blasts, swirl up a vortex around itself while guarding against attacks, which also pierces through most guards, or slash at its opponent with multiple strikes, all of which can be charged up to increase their range and power. They can also be performed in quick succession from one another, and the blast projectile can even home in on opponents, but using the vortex variation will make it use up Synergy Power. When charged up for too long, these three variations revert to weaker levels. Mewtwo can also use this move to create a forcefield around itself that it can use to protect itself or blast opponents away by expanding it or form a tornado around itself that traps opponents in it, reflects projectiles, and conceals itself, allowing it to perform surprise attacks, and it can even create multiple at the same time. Lastly, Mewtwo can form a psychic spoon that it skillfully uses in melee combat, and it can also use it to hit back projectiles or scoop up people or items. Also, Mewtwo can extend its range and bend it for combat or grappling onto things, alter its shape to a fork for stabbing attacks, turn its psychic energy projectiles into it, which it then can telekinetically throw, dual wield two, which it can also attach together to form one weapon, or spin it so fast that it creates its tornado variation.
Confusion: A base 50 power Psychic-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo attacks its opponent with a weak telekinetic force, which has a 10% chance of confusing them. It can also be used to reflect projectiles back to sender, though strong enough projectiles can break through while briefly stunning it, create psychic rings that damage opponents, which also briefly stuns them if they tried to attack Mewtwo when they get hit, or create and manipulate psychic energy to fire blasts, form barriers, or surround others’ bodies and control them. Using this move though will make it use up Synergy Power.
Disable: A Normal-type status move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo releases a flash from its eyes, making it so its opponent can’t use the same move they used last for a while. It can also be used to briefly stun opponents who make eye contact with it while damaging them slightly, which can even paralyze them in some cases without it even needing to make eye contact, or knock them back.
Safeguard: A Normal-type status move. Mewtwo creates a protective field around itself and any allies that prevents them from being inflicted with status effects. However, this won’t remove any status effects they have before it’s used.
Confuse Ray: A Ghost-type status move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo creates a sinister ray that confuses its opponent when exposed to it.
Teleport: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo teleports to another location, whether that be to go to far away destinations in less than a second, escape from battle, or maneuver itself while fighting. While it usually gives off some type of psychic effect to signify that it teleported, Mewtwo can teleport without these effects. It can also be used to teleport others, objects, or Mewtwo’s own attacks, and Mewtwo is capable of teleporting things that are far away from it. These things, along with itself, can even be teleported to other dimensions.
Life Dew: A Water-type status move. Mewtwo scatters mysterious water around, which restores 25% of it and any allies’ maximum HP.
Swift: A base 60 power Normal-type special move. Mewtwo creates and launches out multiple yellow star projectiles at its opponent, which never miss.
Ancient Power: A base 60 power Rock-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo launches prehistoric rocks at its opponent, which has a 10% chance of raising its Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed.
Future Sight: A base 120 power Psychic-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo opens up several wormholes that it then fires electrified psychic energy into before closing them. After a while, the wormholes surround its opponent and release the psychic projectiles to barrage them with. It can also be used to make all of Mewtwo’s attacks deal a fixed amount of damage or plant a hidden psychic bomb that blows up moments later.
Psych Up: A Normal-type status move. Mewtwo hypnotizes itself into copying any stat changes from its opponent, whether positive or negative.
Psybeam: A base 65 power Psychic-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo fires a beam of psychic energy at its opponent, which has a 10% chance of confusing them.
Miracle Eye: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo makes one of its eyes glow, making it so that all of its moves always hit and that its Psychic-type moves work on opponents who would normally be immune to them. It can also be used to manipulate some of Mewtwo’s other ways of attacking, such as making its electric orbs lock onto opponents, turning its psychic arrows into defensive shields that can hurt them when touched, or expanding its light pillars to make them hit wider while moving them around. This even works when the original projectiles have already dissipated because this move essentially resets and alters them.
Psycho Cut: A base 70 power Psychic-type physical move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo launches out a blade of psychic energy at its opponent, which has a higher chance of dealing a critical hit than most other moves. It can also be made in a cross shape or used as a melee slashing attack. Using this move though will make it use up Synergy Power.
Power Swap: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo employs its psychic power to switch its Attack and Special Attack stat changes with its opponent’s.
Guard Swap: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo employs its psychic power to switch its Defense and Special Defense stat changes with its opponent’s.
Recover: A Normal-type status move. Mewtwo creates an energy field around itself that expands and restores its cells, which restores 50% of its maximum HP. It can also be used from beyond the grave to regenerate and resurrect Mewtwo when it dies from mortal wounds.
Psychic: A base 90 power Psychic-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo attacks its opponent with a powerful telekinetic force, which has a 10% chance of lowering their Special Defense. It can also be used to control others’ bodies or objects, shatter things, use objects, crush things, fire a beam of psychic energy, or send out a psychic mine that tracks opponents, which detonates after a few seconds in an explosion of psychic energy that briefly stuns them. Mewtwo can also use it on itself or others to fly around in the air, and others it uses it on can even move around on their own.
Barrier: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo sets up a sturdy wall in front of itself, which sharply raises its Defense. It can also be used to create a forcefield around Mewtwo for protection against attacks, which can even be used to slam into opponents while flying around, protect others in it, reflect projectiles back to sender, create explosions of psychic energy by expanding it, or stand on in the air as a platform for itself and others by partially opening it. Using this move though will make it use up Synergy Power.
Aura Sphere: A base 80 power Fighting-type special move. Mewtwo creates and throws a ball of its spiritual energy, called aura, at its opponent, which never misses. It can also be shot at point-blank range as a type of physical strike.
Amnesia: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo temporarily empties its mind to forget its concerns, which sharply raises its Special Defense.
Mist: An Ice-type status move. Mewtwo cloaks itself and any allies in a white mist, which prevents their stats from being lowered for a while.
Agility: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo relaxes and lightens its body, which sharply raises its Speed.
Me First: A Normal-type status move. Mewtwo cuts ahead of its opponent and copies and uses the attack they were going to do before it. The attack also gets an increase in power by 50% and always hits. However, if Mewtwo is too slow and uses this move after its opponent has already performed the attack or if they performed a non-damaging move, it will fail. It can also be used to unleash a random attack the opponent has.
Calm Mind: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo quietly focuses its mind and calms its spirit, which raises its Special Attack and Special Defense simultaneously.
Hyper Beam: A base 150 power Normal-type special move with 90% accuracy. Mewtwo charges up and fires a powerful beam of energy at its opponent, though after using it, it is left vulnerable and can’t use other moves for a bit. It’s so powerful that it even pierces through most guards. It can also be used to fire a beam of light. Using this move though will make it use up Synergy Power. Used in The Birth of Mewtwo, the Pokémon Gotta Catch ‘Em All! manga, Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Pokémon Tretta, Pokkén Tournament, and Pokémon GO.
Counter: A Fighting-type physical move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo allows itself to be hit by its opponent. If it’s hit physically, it will then retaliate back at them, dealing twice the amount of damage it took. It can also be used to create a shield that reflects projectiles without Mewtwo needing to get hurt. Used in Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back.
Shadow Ball: A base 80 power Ghost-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo creates and throws a ball of ghostly energy at its opponent, which has a 10% chance of lowering their Special Defense. It can also be thrown in an erratic pattern, fired rapidly, summoned and rotated around Mewtwo for protection, clashed with projectiles to erase them, detonated on impact, combined with itself to make it bigger and more powerful, or charged up to make it larger and more powerful. The latter can even damage opponents who touch the ball as it’s charging, be stocked up to be used later, or be fired off extremely slowly forward. Also, it can home in on opponents, and the larger the ball fired, the more Mewtwo will recoil backwards. Used in Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back, Pokémon Pinball, the Super Smash Bros. series, Pokkén Tournament, Pokémon GO, POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, Pokémon Ga-Olé, and Pokémon Masters.
Blizzard: A base 110 power Ice-type special move with 70% accuracy. Mewtwo releases a howling blizzard that it strikes its opponents with, which has a 10% chance of freezing each of them. In hailstorms, this move will always hit. When it hits multiple opponents, its power slightly weakens. It can also be used to cover Mewtwo’s landing when it’s in the air. Used in Pokémon Stadium, Pokkén Tournament, and Pokémon Sword/Shield.
Thunderbolt: A base 90 power Electric-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo fires a bolt of electricity that crashes down on its opponent, which has a 10% chance of paralyzing them. It can also be used to strike the ground near it with electricity to send electric blasts along the ground that briefly stun opponents, which can also home in on them. Used in Pokémon Stadium, Pokémon Stadium 2, Pokkén Tournament, and Pokémon GO.
Rest: A Psychic-type status move. Mewtwo goes to sleep for a while, which restores all of its HP and removes any status effects it has. However, this does leave it very vulnerable, as it is asleep. It can also be used to restore all of its HP and remove and status effects when it wakes up instead of when it goes to sleep. Used in Pokémon Stadium.
Thunder Punch: A base 75 power Electric-type physical move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo electrifies its fist and punches its opponent, which has a 10% chance of paralyzing them. It can also be used to call down lightning from the sky when Mewtwo punches the ground or lower the opponent’s Speed. Used in Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokkén Tournament.
Hidden Power: A base 60 power Normal-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo creates and launches balls of energy at its opponent. This attack actually changes its type depending on the individual values of a Pokémon’s stats, which are usually permanent. If Mewtwo’s individual values are the highest they can be for each stat, which would make sense given its nature as the world’s strongest Pokémon, this would make this move Dark-type. It can also change types depending on the area it’s used in. Used in Pokémon Stadium 2.
Submission: A base 80 power Fighting-type physical move with 80% accuracy. Mewtwo grabs its opponent and recklessly dives for the ground. However, Mewtwo takes 25% of the damage dealt to its opponent as recoil. Used in Pokémon Stadium 2.
Protect: A Normal-type status move. Mewtwo creates a forcefield that protects it from everything. However, while the first time it’s used is guaranteed to work out perfectly fine, if it’s used multiple times in a row, it becomes more and more likely to fail the more it successfully protects Mewtwo. It can also be created all around it or large enough to protect any allies. Used in Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened.
Drain Punch: A base 75 power Fighting-type physical move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo punches its opponent and drains them of their energy, which restores Mewtwo’s HP equal to 50% of the damage dealt. It can also be used for Mewtwo to gain Synergy Power when it hits opponents. Using this move though will make it use up Synergy Power. Used in Pokkén Tournament and Pokémon Ultra Sun.
Flamethrower: A base 90 power Fire-type special move with 100% accuracy. Mewtwo releases a stream of flames that scorches its opponent, which has a 10% chance of burning them.

No matter what way it uses this move though, it aims for the opponent’s Defense rather than their Special Defense despite being a special move. Using this move though will make it use up Synergy Power.

Void Manipulation
Using its psychic powers, Mewtwo is capable of creating purple orbs of light that send others to another dimension, leaving them in a pitch-black void for however long it wants.

However, this can only be done if the being the soul is being put into is in a crazed state or willing to let it happen. It can also separate them back into two beings. Realistically, Mewtwo should also be capable of just taking out someone’s soul from their body without needing to transfer it to another.
IQ Skills
IQ is essentially how smart one is. For Pokémon such as Mewtwo, IQ can also grant passive skills depending on how high it is.

Special Abilities are, as the name suggests, are special abilities Mewtwo has that benefit it and its allies in various ways. The following is a list of all the Special Abilities Mewtwo has:
Speed Up: Moderately raises Mewtwo’s allies’ Speed if it’s the leader of the team.
Attack Up: Moderately raises Mewtwo’s allies’ Attack if it’s the leader of the team.

Awakening essentially provides Mewtwo with beneficial effects, though there are various types. The following is a list of all the types of Awakening effects Mewtwo can use:
Vigor: Raises Mewtwo’s Attack when it’s greatly successful during a battle.
Gale: Raises Mewtwo’s Attack and Defense.
Spin Attack
An attack where Mewtwo spins around before striking its opponent. The higher its speed and rhythm are when performing it, the more damage it will do, though opponents who spin in the opposite direction can reduce the damage taken. If done extremely well, it can also lower their Defense or Speed or inflict them with poison, paralysis, burn, or freeze.

Steamroll
A rare quality of Mewtwo that passively lets its moves deal at least normal damage to opponents, even if they would normally resist said moves through their type or Ability.
Synergy Burst
A phenomenon that occurs in the Ferrum region, which brings out the full potential of a Pokémon using Synergy Power. Mewtwo is one of the few Pokémon, similar to Mega Evolution, who can go into this mode without the assistance of a Trainer. When it enters Synergy Burst, it restores some of its HP and creates a shock wave around itself that pushes opponents back, but that’s not all. Not only does Mewtwo become much stronger, faster, and tougher, to the point where it shrugs off light hits with ease, but it also Mega Evolves automatically, usually into Mega Mewtwo X, but it’s likely it can go into Mega Mewtwo Y as well. Also, it restores HP passively as long as it’s not getting hit.
However, while the mode is powerful, Mewtwo can only stay in it for 13 seconds before reverting back to normal, and Shadow Mewtwo under normal circumstances can only manage eight seconds, and taking damage in this mode decreases the amount of time it can stay in it in general. While Shadow Mewtwo requires little Synergy Power in order to enter Synergy Burst, regular Mewtwo needs a lot of it. That said, Shadow Mewtwo can stay in Synergy Burst for an indefinite amount of time if it has enough Synergy Power, and even enter a second Synergy Burst that increases its power even further. With enough Synergy Power, this second Synergy Burst can also last indefinitely and makes it impervious to almost any attack.

Weaknesses
As Psychic-type Pokémon, Mewtwo and Mega Mewtwo Y are naturally weak against Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type attacks. Meanwhile, Mega Mewtwo X, due to becoming part Fighting-type, is weak to Flying, Ghost, and Fairy-type attacks. Also, while it is usually calm and collected, when it gets furious, it has a hard time controlling that anger and may even forget and hurt allies. Though, Mega Evolution does help it control itself when angered to that degree.
The M2 Bind, while providing Mewtwo with more protection, restrains its powers. It should also be mentioned that emeras can only be found and used in dungeons, so while the effect of the Mist Looplet can be used in other areas, the emeras cannot. Lastly, the Shadow Synergy Stone hurts Shadow Mewtwo whenever it uses moves, and it is even capable of completely corrupting Mewtwo if it becomes overloaded with Synergy Power. It is also unable to become unfused without the assistance of others.
