You should save the master ball for this fight, but if you already used it, you're in for a long battle. Not only is it the strongest Pokémon in the game (even more powerful than Mega Rayquaza in this generation) but it's already at level 70! Be sure to save the game before approaching it, as you have only one chance to catch it. Mewtwo can restore its health nearly a dozen times with {{m|Recover}}, and is only vulnerable to {{type|Bug}} attacks. However, {{m|Leech Life|the three}} {{m|Pin Missile|damage-inflicting}} {{m|Twineedle|Bug-type moves}} are fairly weak.{{status|Freeze|freezing}} it with {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, or {{m|Ice Punch}} is the best way to catch it, as it cannot attack or recover. The best pokemon to take are Amnesia Slowbro and Light Screen Chansey, which are one of the few pokemon that can out-stall Mewtwo and try to freeze it.
