Pokémon GO: Mewtwo Counter Guide – Attacker’s best stats
These are the stats of Mewtwo: Mewtwo is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO thanks to its phenomenal stats. The legendary Psycho-Pokémon should therefore not be missing in any team. These are the stats of Mewtwo:
- Max WP (at level 50): 4,724
- Attack: 300
- Defense: 182
- CP: 214
So many WP are 100% IV: In order to get a perfect Mewtwo, trainers should pay attention to the monster’s CP value after the raid. If this is 2,387 WP or very close, you get a Mewtwo with perfect stats. With weather reinforcement, the whole increases to 2,984 WP. But then you also catch a Mewtwo that already has level 25.
Pokémon GO: Mewtwo Counters Guide – Shiny Mewtwo and Attacks
Does Shiny Mewtwo exist? You can also catch Shiny Mewtwo in Pokémon GO. You can easily recognize this by its green color. Usually, Mewtwo has a purple belly and tail. Should trainers encounter a Shiny Mewtwo in the raid in Pokémon GO, they can also relax. Dazzling legendary raid bosses always get caught right in the first ball.

The best attacks for Mewtwo: If you catch Mewtwo by July 23, you’ll get a Mewtwo that knows the Spook Ball Charged Attack. This turns your Mewtwo into a very strong ghost psycho attacker. From June 23 to July 1, captured Mewtwo from raids can use the charged attack Psychic Strike. This makes it the strongest Psychic attacker in Pokémon GO. In the best case, you catch a Mewtwo in both weeks and then have two extremely strong attackers for further battles in Pokémon GO.
Is the raid worth it? Absolutely, after all, Mewtwo in Pokémon GO is one of the strongest monsters in the entire game. So you should definitely take the raids with you and secure the strong attacker. In addition to the Mewtwo raids, the Pokémon GO trading card event is also currently running. Fans have to solve six collector challenges at the same time.
