In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 780, Mewtwo plays as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Its standout stat is Special Attack at 194, while Defense (70) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Psychic typing leaves Mewtwo with 3 weaknesses against 2 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 2 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Mewtwo a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
