Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. It is bipedal, humanoid creature with some feline feature. It is primarily gray with a long purple tail. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. There is a tube that 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.
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It is unique in that it was the only clone to survive the cloning process before it destroyed the facility in which it was created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.


Mewtwo is a creature with a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|humanoid frame}}, but has some feline features. Mewtwo's body is grey with a long, purple tail. It has three circular pads on its fingers and opposable toes on the inside of its feet, like many real-world primates, as well as two others that face forward. It has purple eyes (that glow blue during some attacks) and two blunt horns.
Using Mewtwonite X, Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X. This form is larger and bulkier its normal state. The horns on its head and longer and thinner, and have pointed tips. Its eyes are now light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its forearms are thighs have several raised ridges, and its digits are now longer and thinner. The tail is slightly shorter than before, and has a curled tip.


One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.
When holding the Mega Stone, Mewtwonite Y, Mewtwo is capable of Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo Y. In this state, it is smaller and lighter, and loses its long tail. 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. It has two pointed spikes on its head and a half-ring structure over its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous, and the middle toe is longer than the others are.


As Mega Mewtwo, it is smaller and is closer to {{p|Mew}} in size. Its head loses the tube and gains a large growth on the back that resembles its regular form's tail, a ring-shaped crest with two thin, pointed horns, and red eyes with faint scleras. Instead of a breastplate-shaped chest, it develops a long, bumpy ridge much like a {{wp|sternum}}. Its forearms thicken, its fingers and toes become purple and smooth, and its middle toes become larger than the others. Its grey body takes on a purplish tinge, and the growth on its head is mostly purple.
Mewtwo was created by scientists, who gave it powerful fighting abilities. Because of the way in which it was created, it is said to have a savage hear lacking in compassion. However, as shown in [[Mewtwo Returns|the anime]], Mewtwo can be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As seen in [[M01|the first movie]] Mewtwo is capable of levitation, speaking telepathically, and controlling the minds of other living beings. Conserving energy by remaining motionless, Mewtwo is able to unleash its full power in battle. It is also capable of materializing psychic waves in the form of its [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}. Though {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} in the wild, it is said to resting in dark cave somewhere.
 
====Gender differences====
Mewtwo is a genderless species.
 
===Special abilities===
[[File:150Mewtwo-Mega Y.png|thumb|150px|Mega Mewtwo Y]]
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. It has a powerful [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, and it is also known for its powerful {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than Mew). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to their maximum power.
 
Through the use of a [[Mega Stone]], Mewtwo can use [[Mega Evolution]] to become Mega Mewtwo.
 
===Behavior===
Due to its early visions of the human race, Mewtwo is known to be very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from repeated DNA splicing and, in the anime, the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}} (whom it completely forgot about after its creators administered a serum to wipe its memory). During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature, to the point of surrendering to {{an|Giovanni}} just to keep its fellow clones safe.
 
===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave. In Kanto, it can be found in the lowest level of [[Cerulean Cave]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]], Mewtwo is said to sleep in a [[Western Cave|cave located in the west]].
