      Tips

      • Using a Psychic type of your own, is effective as Psychic resists itself, this works better if you have a move that hits Mewtwo for neutral damage.

      • Mewtwo is Psychic type, so use Water type moves. This is because Water has a normal effect, it doesn't cause status ailments and Psychic-types don't have a type advantage.
        Thanks

      • Have a low-level Pokémon in your party so you can catch the low-level Mewtwo.
