Mewtwo Raid Guide – Pokemon GO

If you’re looking to fight Mewtwo, you’re going to need a strong team, as their CP can be upwards of 50,000. You’ll need to make sure that you and your friends bring along a team that is more than capable of bringing them down, especially since they only have a few weaknesses. Let’s cover what they are strong against and weak against.

Mewtwo Resistance – 63% Damage Taken

  • Fighting
  • Psychic

Mewtwo Vulnerable To – 160% Damage Taken

  • Bug
  • Ghost
  • Dark

If you’re looking to capitalize on Mewtwo’s weak points, you’ll want to make sure that you have a team that consists of Bug, Ghost, or Dark Pokemon, so make sure you bring some of these Pokemon along for the battle.

Pokemon Fast Attack Charged Attack
Chandelure Hex Shadow Ball
Gengar Lick Shadow Ball
Darkrai Snarl Shadow Ball
Deoxys (Attack) Poison Jab Dark Pulse

Having these Pokemon on your team will help make this battle go a bit more in your favor. Once you have claimed your own Mewtwo, you’ll be able to start shiny hunting for some of the other Pokemon with enhanced spawns during the TCG Event, such as Solrock and Lunatone, the newest event Pikachu, and if you’re lucky enough to have a Meltan Box, you can search for this amazing legendary as well!
