Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

In Detective Pikachu, the Berserk Gene is referenced several times as part of the drug known as R, which can momentarily make Pokémon more powerful, but also causes them to become berserk. Its effects derive from Mewtwo's cells and the Berserk Gene within them.

  Spoilers end here.  

Trivia

  • In the game data of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Mewtwo is defined to always hold a Berserk Gene when encountered in the wild. However, Mewtwo cannot be encountered in the wild in these games, so this data is unused.
    • Even if Mewtwo could be encountered in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the player would not be able to obtain a Berserk Gene from wild Mewtwo.
