Moveset analysis

For raids and gyms, Mega Mewtwo X runs Counter with Focus Blast — 23.1 DPS and 554 TDO as a Fighting-type attacker. It also covers the Psychic slot with Confusion and Psystrike.

In Master League it runs Psycho Cut and Focus Blast. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.

The highest-damage fast move is Counter (13 DPS); Psycho Cut builds energy fastest (14 EPS). Hyper Beam, Psystrike, Shadow Ball are Elite TM moves and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Is Mega Mewtwo X good in Pokemon GO?

Worth powering up
Power upStardustCandyXL Candy
Lv 20 → 40 135,000 15 —

Mega Mewtwo X is a Tier S Fighting-type attacker at rank #1, so the Stardust pays for itself in raid damage. Take it to level 40 first; XL Candy to 50 only matters once you already have a full team of six.

  • Attack is its highest stat (399), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
  • A second charged move costs 100,000 Dust and 100 Candy, and with 8 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ

What is the best moveset for Mega Mewtwo X in Pokemon GO?

Mega Mewtwo X's best moveset is Counter (fast) with Focus Blast (charged), worth 23.1 DPS as a Fighting-type attacker. Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.

For PvP, run Psycho Cut and Focus Blast instead — league movesets prioritise energy generation and shield pressure over raw DPS.

What are Mega Mewtwo X's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

Mega Mewtwo X takes super effective damage from Fairy, Flying, Ghost-type moves. It resists Fighting, Rock, so avoid those types against it.

What is Mega Mewtwo X's max CP in Pokemon GO?

Mega Mewtwo X reaches 6,910 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 6,112 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.

Is Mega Mewtwo X good for PvP in Pokemon GO?

Mega Mewtwo X is ranked #2 (Tier S) in Master League with a 75.00% win rate.

In CP-capped leagues a lower Attack IV lets you reach a higher level under the cap, so the ideal spread for Master League is 15/15/15 rather than a hundo.

Unlocking the second charged move is the highest-value upgrade: it lets Mega Mewtwo X bait shields instead of committing to one attack.

What CP is a 100% IV Mega Mewtwo X?

A perfect 15/15/15 Mega Mewtwo X shows 3,492 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 4,366 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.

How do you get Mega Mewtwo X in Pokemon GO?

Evolve it from Mewtwo ( Candy). It is currently a Super Mega Raids raid boss.

Can Mega Mewtwo X be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Shiny Mega Mewtwo X depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
