Expert Answer

Try using a Bug-type Pokémon like Vivillon that can use Sleep Powder and knows not-too-damaging moves that can defeat Mewtwo easily. Dusk Balls work well since Mewtwo is found in a cave, though you can also use Dream Balls if you put the Mewtwo to sleep.

Question

I accidentally made Mewtwo faint multiple times. What strategies can I use to catch it, especially if I want to use a Pokémon that can inflict status conditions?

Natalie Tellechea

Top Answerer

To prevent Mewtwo from fainting, use the move False Swipe, which always leaves the target with at least 1 HP; teach this TM to a high-level Pokémon. While using status conditions like Sleep or Paralysis can aid in capture, ensure your Pokémon does not have an ability (e.g., Flame Body, Effect Spore) that could inflict additional damage or an unwanted status condition leading to Mewtwo fainting.

Question

How do I escape the Elite Four's dungeon?

Community Answer

You cannot. Once you enter the Elite Four's challenge, you must either defeat the Elite Four and the Champion, or have all your Pokémon faint to exit.

Question

What do I do if I defeated the champion in Pokemon X and Y, but the entrance to Mewtwo is still blocked?

Community Answer

You need surf to get there, basically to cross the river to the cave. The river is located at the west of the Pokémon village where there is a cuttable tree.

Question

Is it possible to get Mewtwonite Y in Pokemon X and vice versa?

JayX Plays

Community Answer

It is possible via trade through both games. It is easier to get if you trade with someone who is confirmed to have Mewtwonite Y -- remember to trade with Pokemon Y players.

Either Ultra Balls or Master Balls are recommended. If you choose to use Ultra Balls, ensure Mewtwo's HP bar is red and be prepared to use at least 40.
