Mewtwo (Japanese:ミュウツーMewtwo) is aPsychic-typeLegendary Pokémon introduced inGeneration I.

While it is not known toevolve into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo canMega Evolve into two different forms:

Mewtwo is a clone ofMew, which it is associated with, and they are thus collectively referred to as theMew duo by fans. It is the last Pokémon in theMountain Kalos Pokédex andLumiose Pokédex.

Biology

Mewtwo is anartificial Pokémon. It is a bipedal, humanoidPokémon with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt, ear-like horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

According tojournals found inKanto'sPokémon Mansion, after discovering theMythical PokémonMew and gathering some of its DNA,Mr. Fuji used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon in existence. It was held and studied in the mansion, where it acquired extreme power and a vicious disposition after enduring horrific gene-splicing experiments. It eventually broke free and fled the mansion, destroying it in the process. In thePokémon Adventures manga,Mewtwo's creation wasn't possible with the amount ofMew's cells gathered, so to complete it,human cells were used instead, specifically from theTeam RocketscientistBlaine. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Though its DNA is almost the same as Mew's, it is bigger and has a different disposition.

Mewtwo is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting indarkcaves somewhere. InMewtwo Strikes Back,Mewtwo was shown to be capable of levitation, mind control, memory erasure,telepathy,teleporting others to another location, and the creation of powerful, world-destroying storms. However, it waslater shown to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As seen inGenesect and the Legend Awakened,Mewtwo can survive in outer space. InPOKÉMON Detective Pikachu, Mewtwo can transfer a human's soul into a Pokémon provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing the transferred person to gain control of its body and abilities.

Mewtwo is theonly known Pokémon capable of learning themovePsystrike.

Shadow Mewtwo

A uniquevariant of Mewtwo, calledShadow Mewtwo, is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard ofShadow Synergy Stone coming out of its shoulder. In the past, Anne was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled aroundFerrum, draining Gaia Power from other normalSynergy Stones, which continuously increases its power.

Shadow Mewtwo

Forms

Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo canMega Evolve into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X by usingSynergy Burst.

Mega Mewtwo X

Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.

Mega Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from brow-like ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple ridges over its shoulders fusing behind its back as a single, hump-like growth. Its forearms and legs grow much bulkier and gain two protruding ridges resembling veins. Its hands and feet grow bigger, with longer, more prehensile digits. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip.

Due to the Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo X's physical power received a formidable boost. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. As revealed inPokkén Tournament, it can stretch its arms and legs inbattle.

Mega Shadow Mewtwo X

Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The glowing yellow-orange of the stone's infection is no longer confined to its tail, spreading to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Like its counterpart, Mega Shadow Mewtwo X can stretch its arms and legs. This unique form is achieved when Shadow Mewtwo uses bothShadow Synergy Burst and collected Gaia Power build up. The transformation can be undone if Shadow Synergy Stone is separated from Mewtwo.

Mega Mewtwo Y

Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to asternum replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two.

Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought. Mega Mewtwo Y stays constantly in the air due to its smaller size and increased power.[1]
