Read more ↓Mewtwo is a legendary Psychic-type Pokémon, a genetically engineered clone of the mythical Pokémon Mew. Introduced in Generation I, Mewtwo quickly became one of the most iconic and powerful Pokémon in the franchise, known for its immense psychic abilities and complex backstory. Created by scientists on Cinnabar Island in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon, Mewtwo eventually escaped its creators and developed a deep distrust and disdain for humanity. Its natural habitat is not truly natural, as it was born in a laboratory, but it often seeks solitude in caves or remote areas to avoid human contact. Mewtwo is a carnivorous Pokémon, though its diet is rarely depicted in detail, implying it sustains itself primarily through its psychic powers. It does not have an evolutionary line, existing as a singular, powerful entity. As a Psychic-type, it is strong against Fighting and Poison types, and weak against Bug, Ghost, and Dark types. In the games, Mewtwo is often a post-game challenge, representing the pinnacle of power, while in the anime, it has been featured in several prominent roles, including the protagonist of *Mewtwo Strikes Back*, exploring themes of identity and purpose. Its cultural significance is immense, symbolizing raw power and the ethical dilemmas of genetic engineering.
