'''Mewtwo''' is a powerful psychic [[Pokémon]]. He was the last of the original 150 Pokémon in the first generation games and one of the most powerful Pokémon to be found in the game.

=Information=

Mewtwo was created through years of horrific gene splicing and recombining DNA.  He is mostly like [[Mew]], however, it’s taller, more powerful, and has a more limited move set.  Despite his power, Mewtwo wasn’t created to be compassionate, whether it was intentional or an unintended side effect is never explained.

Mewtwo was once an embryo in the womb of its mother, [[Mew]]. This makes Mew the only Pokémon known to give live birth. Scientists altered its growth during its gestation period, or the Mew was artificially inseminated. Whatever the case, Mewtwo was born in the [[Burnt Mansion|Pokémon Mansion]] on [[Cinnabar Island]].  Mewtwo is suspected to have killed his creators. It is known that Mewtwo is responsible for the nickname [[Burnt Mansion]].  It then fled to Cerulean Cave, and hid in the most distant pit of it. 

Mewtwo rarely moves its arms or legs to conserve energy.  Though it can’t use every [[TM]] and [[HM]], Mewtwo is still a force to be reckoned with, since it is more powerful.  Combined with its antisocial behavior make it ruthless.

==One of a Kind==

Mewtwo has the distinction of possibly being the only one of a kind Pokémon. Others, like [[Ho-Oh]], [[Lugia]], and [[Deoxys]] can be captured in multiple games or make appearances in games multiple times, like [[Pokémon Colosseum]].  It’s theoretically possible that there is more than one Mewtwo, since one could trade a Mewtwo from one game to another that already has a Mewtwo. However there has been no in game mention of this, so whatever means Mewtwo would be able to reproduce is never thoroughly explained.  (For the record, Mewtwo could be female, asexual, or breed with [[Ditto|Dittos]] to reproduce; however in game Mewtwo lacks gender, and cannot breed with anything.)

In ''[[Pokémon Stadium]]'', Mewtwo fights [[Red]] using himself.  [[Silver]] owns a Mewtwo, Lugia, and Ho-Oh in ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]''.  Whether this is the same Mewtwo remains to be seen.  They could, indeed, be two different Mewtwos.  There is no in game evidence either way.

=Appearances=

==Mainstream Games==

Mewtwo can only be found in Cerulean Cave in ''[[Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Green, Blue]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Yellow Version|Yellow]]'', as well as ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]]'', ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]''. It is only encountered once and found at the end of the cave.

==Other Games==

Mewtwo appears in ''[[Pokémon Pinball]]'', where it is encountered only on the [[Indigo Plateau]] and is the last Pokémon to appear prior to Mew. It was also featured in its own bonus stage where the player had to hit it within two minutes. In ''[[Pokémon Stadium]]'' Mewtwo appears as the final enemy after the Gym Leader Castle is completed. In ''[[Pokémon Puzzle League]]'', Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Very Hard or Super Hard modes, and claims to be the legendary Puzzle Master. [[Silver]] also has a Mewtwo alongside the legendary Pokémon [[Lugia]] and [[Ho-oh]] in ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]''. In ''[[Pokémon Trozei!]]'', Mewtwo could only be found in Mr. Who's Den.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams]]'', Mewtwo was the boss of the Western Cave, found in the cave's ninety-ninth floor. He was shown to have put himself into suspended animation but battled anyone who disturbed his slumber. He was described as the most powerful Pokémon in this game, even compared to later legendary Pokémon such as [[Rayquaza]]. Mewtwo had to be defeated more than once before he would agree to join the player's party. In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers of Darkness]]'', Mewtwo could be found in the sixth basement floor of the Dark Crater or the fifth basement floor of the Aegis Cave when the player has the Mystery Part or Secret Slab on them. In ''Explorers of Time'', Mewtwo can only be obtained by downloading a special Wonder Mail from the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Explorers of Sky]]'', Mewtwo will appear on a random floor of the Sky Stairway between the twenty-fifth and forty-ninth floors after receiving a challenge request and could then be recruited. In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]'', Mewtwo was found at Sky Fortress and Rand's House. Mewtwo also appeared in ''[[Pokémon Rumble]]'', where it was achieved through a ticket for releasing [[Dialga]], [[Palkia]] and [[Giratina]].

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

===Super Smash Bros.===

Mewtwo also appears as a playable fighter in several games of the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, starting as a hidden playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He was intitially left out of the next two games, but he eventually returned as DLC for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' (being the first DLC fighter to be released, in April 2015) and as part of the base game for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He moves slowly, floats in the air and attacks with powerful psychic abilities. With his return, his character received some tweaks including a Final Smash where he Mega Evolved into Mega Mewtwo.

In ''Melee'', he is unlocked by playing 700 Vs. Mode matches or by playing 20 hours of combined time in Vs. Mode. In ''Ultimate'', he could be unlocked through the game's variable-based system for unlocking characters or by awakening him in Adventure Mode.

Although Mewtwo was left out of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' and replaced with [[Lucario]], a text dump of the game listed him as a fighter, implying that he may have been intended to return at some point in the game's development. 

====Trophies/Stickers/Spirits====
Mewtwo has also been represented by three unlockable trophies in ''Melee'', a trophy in ''Brawl'', a trophy in the 3DS/Wii U game, two trophies (plus one for his Final Smash in the Wii U game) that can be unlocked after purchasing his DLC for the 3DS/Wii U game and a Fighter [[Spirit]] (as well as a Primary Spirit of Mega Mewtwo Y) in ''Ultimate''.

====Ultimate: Adventure and Classic Modes====

In the Adventure Mode of ''Ultimate'', "World of Light", Mewtwo appeared in the opening scene among the fighters assembled to oppose [[Galeem]] and his [[Master Hand]] army. When Galeem unleashed his beams of light, Mewtwo was seen near Zelda, attempting to repel the beam with Confusion, only to be overtaken by the beam. Mewtwo could later be found within the Mysterious Dimension area, where he would join the playable roster upon his defeat.

Mewtwo's Classic Mode route was called "Psychic Control". In it, Mewtwo's opponents were mostly those who were subject to some sort of possession, body-swapping or corruption in their own series or adaptations. In each succeeding battle, Mewtwo had a character from the previous battle his teammate, implying that he had psychically taken control of them. The final boss of his route was [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]].

==Other Media==

*In the anime, Mewtwo was featured in the first movie. In it Mewtwo was created by a lab funded by [[Team Rocket]] and completely destroyed the laboratory. He was then tricked into serving [[Giovanni]] until he became tired of being used and fled. Mewtwo then created an army of Pokémon clones to destroy and replace the people and Pokémon of the world he believed to be corrupt. Mewtwo later reached an epiphany after a battle with Mew, [[Red#Other Media|Ash Ketchum]] and several other Pokémon trainers. Mewtwo made several additional anime appearances with a less malevolent role.
*Mewtwo has made several appearances in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga. It first appeared in the ''Red''/''Green''/''Blue'' arc, where it was shown that Mewtwo had been created by [[Blaine]] for Team Rocket using a combination of Mew's and, when he ran out of the former, his own DNA. This caused a symbiotic bond to form between the two, although Mewtwo later escaped. At the end of the arc Red and Blaine hunt down Mewtwo to put an end to the threat it posed, but Red was able to capture the Master Ball instead of taking down Mewtwo and Blaine with it. Blaine was then given Mewtwo and trained it, using it in battle during the ''Yellow'' arc until it was defeated by [[Lance]] who exploited that Mewtwo was dependent on Blaine to battle. Mewtwo was briefly seen in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc, where Blaine was healed of his condition by [[Entei]], which in turn severed the link between him and Mewtwo, leading to Mewtwo escaping his possession. Mewtwo reappeared in the ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' arc, where it teamed up with Red and his allies against [[Giovanni]] and [[Deoxys]].

=Trivia=

*Its name simply plays after Mew's name and adds the two to signify that it is a clone.
*Although the real Mewtwo doesn't appear in the game, one of the Pokémon Signs in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' is a shadow shaped like Mewtwo.
