Read more ↓Mewtwo is a legendary Psychic-type Pokémon, created by genetic manipulation from the DNA of the mythical Pokémon Mew. First introduced in Generation I of the Pokémon Red and Blue games, Mewtwo was designed to be the ultimate Pokémon, possessing unparalleled power and intellect. Its natural habitat is not well-defined, as it was artificially created in a laboratory, often depicted as residing in secluded caves or abandoned research facilities. Mewtwo's diet is not explicitly detailed in Pokédex entries, but its existence is predicated on scientific experimentation rather than natural ecological processes. Its behavior is often characterized by a profound sense of isolation, a struggle with its own existence, and a deep distrust of humans due to its origins as a scientific experiment. Mewtwo does not have an evolution line in the traditional sense, but it can achieve two Mega Evolutions: Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y. In the games, Mewtwo is typically a post-game legendary encounter, offering a significant challenge to players. In the anime, it plays a prominent role in "Mewtwo Strikes Back," exploring themes of identity, purpose, and the ethical implications of genetic engineering, solidifying its cultural significance as one of the most powerful and philosophical Pokémon. Its Psychic typing gives it type advantages against Fighting and Poison types, while being weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark types.
