In ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'', {{an|Dr. Fuji}} creates {{p|Mewtwo|an enhanced clone of Mew}} as requested by {{an|Giovanni}} in exchange for funding his primary project, a (failed) attempt to clone his dead daughter {{an|Amber}}, and three test clones of the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} itself makes clones (Japanese: '''コピーポケモン''' ''Copy Pokémon'') of various Pokémon belonging to the Trainers who have come to [[New Island]]. Mewtwo captures the target Pokémon in special [[Poké Ball]]s called "Mewtwo Balls"—even those currently in their Poké Balls can be caught by these—then sends these Balls through a special cloning machine. All of Mewtwo's clones appear to have been created fully-grown, unlike Fuji's clones. All cloned Pokémon—excluding Mewtwo—appear identical to a normal Pokémon of their species, though a few of the clones have multiple black horizontal marks on their bodies.
