Pokémon to Use Against Mighty Mewtwo

When venturing into the battle against the formidable Mewtwo, players have a variety of Pokémon options at their disposal, each carefully chosen to ensure victory. Since Mewtwo relies on Psychic type moves, it becomes essential to employ Pokémon that wield the Dark type advantage. Exploiting Mewtwo’s significant vulnerabilities to Bug, Ghost, and Dark types can significantly tip the scales in your favor. Here are some well-recommended choices from the pool of effective counters:

  1. Gholdengo: This cunning Ghost and Dark type Pokémon boasts an impressive array of moves that can exploit Mewtwo’s weaknesses, making it a formidable contender on the battlefield.
  2. Scizor: With its combination of Bug and Steel typing, Scizor provides a strategic advantage against Mewtwo’s Psychic prowess. Its resistance to Psychic type moves coupled with its offensive capabilities make it an optimal choice.
  3. Hydreigon: As a Dark and Dragon type, Hydreigon brings versatility to the encounter. Its potent Dark type moves can deal significant damage to Mewtwo, while its Dragon typing grants it resistance against Mewtwo’s Psychic attacks.
  4. Grimmsnarl: A dual-type Pokémon with both Dark and Fairy attributes, Grimmsnarl possesses a unique advantage against Mewtwo. Its Dark type abilities exploit Mewtwo’s weaknesses, while its Fairy type can help mitigate incoming Psychic damage.
  5. Sableye: This Ghost and Dark type Pokémon possesses a strong immunity to Psychic type moves, rendering Mewtwo’s attacks less effective. Sableye’s strategic moveset can turn the tide of battle in your favor.
  6. Mew: As part of the raid players can acquire a Mew to use during the fight. This Mew can be built to any specification you would like.

The cornerstone of effectively countering Mewtwo lies in utilizing the aforementioned Pokémon’s strengths, carefully strategizing their moves, and optimizing team synergy. By capitalizing on type advantages and exploiting Mewtwo’s susceptibilities, trainers can pave the way to victory in their quest to triumph over this mighty opponent.

What Happens if You Use Mew Against Mighty Mewtwo

While all the Pokémon mentioned earlier are proficient in taking on Mighty Mewtwo, The Pokemon Company emphasizes the exceptional potential unlocked by choosing Mew during the Tera Raid.
