Question

I just caught Mewtwo in Heart Gold(HOORAY!) and I have decided a couple moves already to teach him by the time he's lvl 100. So far, I have Psychic, and Aura Sphere. What else should he know? Should I replace any of these moves?

Mewtwo Learnset

Comments

Ha, just realized almost all of these sets are almost the same.

Answer 1

I would go for:
- Psychic
- Aura Sphere (for Dark coverage)
- Recover
- Calm Mind to boost stats, or Ice Beam for more type-coverage.

Comments

Aura Sphere also has infinite accuracy.

Answer 2

Gen V

Mewtwo @ Choice Specs

Trait: Pressure

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

• Aura Sphere
• Thunder
• Shadow Ball
• Ice Beam

This provides Super-Effective coverage against almost anything you'd face in Ubers. Shadow Ball deals with all the Psychics, as well as Chandelure. Thunder takes down the Flying types of Uber, as well as Kyogre. Ice Beam also deals with the Flying types of Uber, all the Dragon types, and Groudon. Aura Sphere takes down Dialga and Darkrai. The only common Ubers who won't be hit for super-effective damage are Jirachi, some random Arceus types, and Palkia. However, you'll be able to do enough damage to these Pokemon with a neutral hit off of Mewtwo's Choice Spec boosted Special Attack. Your EVs are sweeping EVs.

My Mewtwo has timid nature. It's not that bad.

Answer 3

• Psychic
• Shadow Ball
• Aura Sphere
• Flamethrower

Comments

Classic set =)...BTW, in V gen, Psychobreak instead of Psychic, am I right?

Answer 4

I would do:

Psychic: STAB, good power, high accuracy, chance to lower Sp. Def.

Ice Beam: Good power, high accuracy, chance to freeze, deals with Dragon types.

Shadow Ball: Mewtwo's signature move. Good power, high accuracy, decent chance to lower Sp. Def, used to deal with Ghost types.

Thunder: High power, good chance to paralyze.

Other good options are Aura Sphere, Taunt, Calm Mind, Light Screen, Reflect, and Selfdestruct.

Answer 5

Mewtwo @ Life Orb

Trait: Pressure

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

• Psystrike
• Aura Sphere
• Ice Beam
• Calm Mind

Psystrike is for going Physical, it's Mewtwos signature move so it's awasome.
Aura Sphere gives coverage against darkrai, Mainly.
Ice Beam hits super effective against annoying dragons.
Calm Mind to get a nice boost in POWA and sp.def.

Comments

Some people think shadow ball is Mewtwo's signature move.

---

It isn't. Those people are retards.

---

I can understand why they would though. In one of the first movies; "Mewtwo vs. Mew", Mewtwo kept on using shadow ball against mew. But it looked nothing like in the games.

Answer 6

Mewtwo @ Life Orb

Role: Sunny Sweeper

Trait: Pressure

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

• SolarBeam
• Flamethrower
• Aura Sphere
• Psystrike

---

When you have a Groudon lead.
SolarBeam is 1 turn coverage in the sun, along with Flamethrower getting powered up.
Aura Sphere is coverage, while Psystrike is amazing STAB.

Answer 7

Double/Triple Battle

Mewtwo @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psystrike
- Blizzard
- Aura Sphere
- Charge Beam

There is a reason why Mewtwo is the fourth most powerful Pokemon (after Kyogre, Arceus, and Lugia). Mewtwo is simply amazing. Psystrike is incredibly powerful STAB. Blizzard hits multiple foes. Aura Sphere can hit any foe in a Triple Battle. And Charge Beam can be used to finish off (which is actually a large amount of health remaining for some Pokemon, 407 Life Orb boosted Special Attack after all) a foe and possibly gain a Special Attack boost. Which means the end of all life as we know it.

Comments

Arceus is stronger but Kyogre is weaker. Kyurem's Black and White forms are 2nd strongest. Mewtwo is tied for 3rd best stats with Lugia, Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Zekrom, and Reshiram.

Answer 8

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp

---

Bulk-up
Ice-punch
Fire-punch/Thunder-punch
Earthquake/Drain-punch

---

Ever notice that great 110 Attack, probably not as Mewtwo has the second highest S.Attack in the game(154), but his Attack is still great. Bulk-up is boosting. Ice-punch is coverage. Fire-punch/Thunder-punch choose coverage. Earthquake/Drain-punch more powerful coverage or weaker coverage and healing.

Comments

Who voted this down? Nothing wrong, is there?

---

Ugh, Psystrike is the only viable Physical hitting move.

---

Having a Psychic type, let alone the strongest Psychic type in the game, that doesn't know a single Psychic move? No thank you. The only time I'd bother with a physical move for Mewtwo is Brick Break and only until I learn Aura Sphere.

Not to mention, that Mewtwo's special attack is 40% higher.  And since Flamethrower/Thunderbolt/Ice beam are all 26.6% stronger than their punch counterparts, they'd be 77.3% stronger when used by a Mewtwo (assuming no EVs or nature affecting attack or special attack).

---

I think everyone has there ideas and some people specialize in different stat categories. One of my friend Likes Sp. Atk more than any other stat. Speed freaks answer isn't bad.

---

It isn't bad, it's just outclassed :P Not worth using.

Answer 9

Mewtwo
Trait: Pressure

---

Psychic/Psy Strike- STAB
Recover- Healing/Stalling
Iron Tail- Coverage
Aura Shere

               -Pichu

Comments

If your gonna ask about the "Pichu" Part
Make it bolded and then make a bunch of
spaces it cannot change back.

---

EVs?? Nature??

---

I'm not Gonna add that...

Answer 10

Suicide Lead Mewtwo

Mewtwo @ Light Clay
Trait: Pressure
Hasty Nature (+ Spd, - Def)
EVs: 128 Atk / 128 SAtk / 252 Spe
Moves:
- Taunt
- Selfdestruct
- Reflect
- Light Screen

Simple. Mewtwo leads off with a very fast Taunt, one of the fastest in the game, then proceeds to set up. Darkrai can't Void after the Taunt, and Mewtwo can SelfDestruct out so that other teammates can abuse its screens before they wear off.

Comments

How does it learn Selfdestruct?

---

Yeah, I checked all the moves it can learn in heartgold/soulsilver and black/white, plus tms. I can't see how.

Answer 11

Item:Whatever you want (Shell Bell)
Ability: Pressure
EV's: Max Speed and Sp.atk

• Psystrike
• Aura Sphere
• Shadow Ball/ Calm Mind
• Flamethrower/Ice Beam

Psystrike is a little bit better than Psychic with STAB but Psychic maybe decreases the oppenent's Sp. Def.
Aura Sphere for type coverage .This attack never misses!
Shadow Ball again for coverage and may decrease opponent's Special Defense .That's why I don't recommend Psychic in this Pokemon.Calm Mind increases Sp.Atk. and Sp.Def .
Flamethrower and Ice Beam for more type coverage !

Answer 12

Ah, Mewtwo the original BAMF Pokemon.

Nature: Modest (-Atk, +SpAtk)
EVs: SpAtk and Spd.
Item: Wise Glasses or Choice Specs (Expert Belt is an acceptable substitute)
For single battles I use:
Psychic
Aura Sphere
Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Flamethrower (depending on the rest of the team)
Calm Mind.

For double battles, I pair him with Feraligatr or Blastoise and use:
Psychic
Aura Sphere
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower

That way, my water type can have:
Surf/Waterfal
Ice Beam
Crunch/Bite
Earthquake

And thus, you will do at least double damage to any Pokemon (barring Pokemon with no weaknesses).

Comments

Correction: you will do double damage to all except ones like Elektross, Sableye, and Spiritomb.

---

True Unbreakable. But while Elektross and Spiritomb can be very troublesome oppenents, Elektross' pre-evolution froms aren't very difficult and Sableye's stats are bad enough that an advantage is hardly necessary.

---

You're right. I overlooked that a bit.

Answer 13

Mewtwo item choice specs nature timid + speed - attack.
Psystrike stab
Aura sphere coverage for steel and dark
shadow ball other psychic and ghost
ice beam/ thunderbolt ice beam lots of coverage and groudon or thunderbolt arrg kyogre.
