    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.

    I accidentally made him faint 3 times already. What do I do, since one of my Pokemon can give status conditions?

    It depends on the Status Condition. You should obtain the TM for False Swipe and teach it to a high-level Pokemon. If you find your False Swipe Pokemon has an ability that can damage the opponent (e.g. Flame Body, Effect Spore, etc.), then don't use said Pokemon.
