Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon from the Kanto region. It does not evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It has an Armored Form. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y initially after being given a certain amount of Mega Energy.
Pokédex description
Mewtwo is a Pokémon that was created by genetic manipulation. However, even though the scientific power of humans created this Pokémon's body, they failed to endow Mewtwo with a compassionate heart.
Psychic power has augmented its muscles. It has a grip strength of one ton and can sprint a hundred meters in two seconds flat!
Despite its diminished size, its mental power has grown phenomenally. With a mere thought, it can smash a skyscraper to smithereens.
