'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] who was [[Cloning|cloned]] from a {{p|Mew}}. It is a main character in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and has also made multiple appearances in the main series episodes and other media.
 
During the beginning of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and in its lead-up episodes (''[[EP064|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP065|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', and ''[[EP066|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''), Mewtwo is seen working for {{an|Giovanni}}. This has led to Mewtwo being associated with [[Giovanni]] in other [[canon]]s as well, with him even being depicted as Mewtwo's {{pkmn|Trainer}} in some of his appearances, such as {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} and {{g|Masters EX}}.

Immediately thereafter, Giovanni found Mewtwo and convinced it to help with Team Rocket's goal of controlling the world. Mewtwo's power was focused as well as restrained by a robotic suit of armor as it performed tasks, such as battling for Giovanni in the [[Viridian Gym]] and helping Team Rocket capture Pokémon. At one point, Giovanni, after temporarily (at the time) abdicating the Viridian Gym to Jessie James and Meowth, utilized Mewtwo for what was presumably a very serious matter. Mewtwo eventually became tired of being used by Giovanni. It developed a strong hatred for humans and felt that they were weak and selfish beings who were only interested in power and wealth; it also despised the [[Caught Pokémon|Pokémon who served humans]]. Mewtwo escaped from Giovanni, destroying Team Rocket headquarters in the process (something that the [[Team Rocket trio]] witnessed, ironically around [[EP065|the time]] they themselves considered defecting from Team Rocket), and relocated to its birthplace on New Island and built a castle there.

Mewtwo issued a challenge to several strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, including [[Ash Ketchum]]. It used its powers to create a storm that would serve as a test to see who could make it to the island. Only a handful of Trainers decided to brave the storm and arrive, including Ash and {{ashfr}}. Upon revealing itself, Mewtwo challenged the Trainers with its clone Pokémon—{{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Charizard}}—to prove its superiority to human Trainers and the superiority of cloned Pokémon in comparison to trained Pokémon. To do this, Mewtwo used a variation of the {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|Poké Balls}} used by Trainers. Once caught in the Balls, the Trainers' Pokémon were cloned in a downstairs laboratory. However, before Mewtwo could defeat the Trainers and move out into the world, {{OBP|Mew|M01}} appeared. Mew and Mewtwo fought at length, ceasing only when Ash—exasperated over the drawn-out and fruitless battling—ran into the fray and was caught in their crossfire, which turned his body to stone. After Ash was revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experienced a change of heart and no longer sought to conquer the world. Mewtwo reasoned that it would be best if no one remembered the events that had transpired, so it erased the memories of all the people and Pokémon and transported everyone but Team Rocket back to the mainland. Mewtwo and Mew left New Island with the cloned Pokémon to seek a proper place for themselves.
