Mewtwo Counters

Mewtwo is a Psychic type Pokemon with a raid boss CP of 49,430 and a max capture CP of 2,275. As a Psychic type Pokmeon, Mewtwo is weak to Bug, Dark and Ghost types. If you recently took down some of the other Legendary Pokemon, you can probably use many of the same Pokemon against Mewtwo. Tyranitar, Houndoom, Gyarados, and Gengar work especially well against Mewtwo, but there are some other counters.

If you’re using Tyranitar, Bite, Crunch and Stone Edge work best. With Houndoom use Snarl and Foul Play. Pinsir and Scizor are also two great Mewtwo counters, both with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor. You can check out a full list of the best Mewtwo counters in the table below!
