Mewtwo (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms: '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Mewtwonite X}} and '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Mewtwonite Y}}.

Mewtwo was created after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments based on {{p|Mew}}. It is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lack compassion, and strike fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. In the first movie, {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} exemplified these vicious characteristics and was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy and mind control. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} in the anime shared its aversion to contact with others, but was much less belligerent. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order 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 be resting in a dark cave somewhere.

While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of a {{pkmn|movie}} and a special, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to battle [[Gary's Arcanine]] and {{DL|Gary Oak|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie. Mewtwo made further appearances during the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi Wish Maker]]'' standing on a rooftop wearing a cape, and in the intro of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', chasing a {{p|Mew}}.

Another Mewtwo and the [[Mega Evolution]] Mega Mewtwo Y debuted in the special episode ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', a prologue to ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. In the special, Mewtwo escaped from [[Mewtwo's creators|its creators]] and fought against a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] named [[Dirk]], while [[Virgil]] helped protect it.

A Mirage Mewtwo appeared in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', where it was the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

 

Two Mewtwo appeared in the introduction to ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', one as Mega Mewtwo X and one as Mega Mewtwo Y.

Mewtwo appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]''. After finding out about its existence from {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} entered [[Cerulean Cave]] in order to add Mewtwo's data to the [[Pokédex]]. In a fierce battle that wiped out almost all of Red's Pokémon, Mewtwo was finally defeated by [[Red's Charizard]] after it Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X. Red then proceeded to capture Mewtwo, making his collection of the 150 known Pokémon complete.

* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientists|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the anime. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in Viridian Gym, despite being a public area.

Like {{p|Mew}}, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|gene splicing}}. Mewtwo also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.
