We have brought you a guide that has all the details about the Pokemon Go Mewtwo Raid that will help you to learn about the best counters and more.
Mewtwo is one of the strong and most recognizable Legendary Pokemon, created by humans with the assistance of genetic manipulation. The scientists who created Mewtwo conducted horrific experiments, cloning and splicing DNA from Mew, the ancestor of virtually all other Pokemon. It is believed that Mew is the most dangerous Pokemon, harboring profound hatred of humanity due to the horrific experiments carried out on it. Mewtwo is also one of the few Pokemon that has multiple Mega Evolutions because of its DNA.
Both Mewtwo and Mew are able to learn many different moves in Pokemon Go, making them very powerful Pokemon. With its diverse move pools and excellent stats, Mewtwo is one of the strongest Pokemon in the game. Its Shadow form is even more powerful, and eventually, both Mega Evolutions will change the metagame. We are here to tell you about the Pokemon Go Mewtwo Raid, learn the best counters, and all other tips and tricks.
As a Tier-5 Raid Boss, Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Pokemon, which is why five or more Trainers will be needed if a member of the Raid party is under-leveled. Mewtwo becomes the Raid Boss in Pokemon GO between June 16 and July 1, 2022.

Best moveset
With the Shadow Ball move, Mewtwo can deal incredible damage to ghosts and other psychic Pokemon, and Psystrike allows it to counter poison and fighting Pokemon. To finish off its move set, you should teach it Fast Attack Confusion.
Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Pokemon from Kanto and is therefore invulnerable to Fighting- or Psychic-type Attacks. Therefore, Pokemon such as Sawk or Hitmonlee can’t be used in this Raid. Trainers in Pokemon GO will need to put together Raid parties made up of Pokemon that have both Bug and Ghost-type countering characteristics. Mewtwo is highly vulnerable to these types of attacks because it only possesses an element.
More tips
Pokemon Y, Yveltal is one of the most powerful Pokemon, especially when paired with a Dark-type Mega Pokemon. This Dark and Flying-type Pokemon can be devastating when attacked by Mewtwo’s Electric and Ice-type attacks while defending itself from Psychic-type attacks.
Trainers battling the Mewtwo Raid in Pokemon GO need to have these highly rare Shadow and Mega Pokemon: Shadow Weavile, Shadow Tyranitar, Mega Gengar, Mega Houndoom, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Absol. Keep in mind that not all Trainers will be able to find these highly rare Pokemon.
