Is Shadow Mewtwo the Best Pokémon in Pokémon GO? A Deep Dive

[@frankstorm1814]

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Absolutely Yes

[@assaqwwq]

Yeah hate that he didn't answer anything...

[@tiagomoraes1510]

absolutely no? what r u talking about lol? theres several pokemon stronger than him rn

[@Socal0721]

He’s technically top 4 as their Mega isn’t out.

[@HarlemHospital]

Shadow shiny Mewtwo is end game for me. After this there is nothing left

[@_Dreadd]

shadow shiny ray, groudon and kyogre tho eventually 👀

[@CrossBouJ]

Same! Once I manage to get that shadow shiny mewtwo, gonna take a long break from Niantics money grab game

[@bluefingerz219]

@@CrossBouJfr, i came back in january so ill obv go for the rayquaza, gen 5 and 6 legendaries then take a good break. probably will happen after go fest tho 😔

[@raider_reaper_4194]

Shiny Rayquaza? Armored Mewtwo? Banette Gengar? Shiny Bidoof?

[@friendsunion6227]

I got shadow shiny Mewtwo in just 3 raids bro

[@arthurskok5899]

When it's only 2nd or 3rd/etc to Mega pokemon in another typing category, you need to emphasize that you can only have one mega at a time so it's pretty much the top attacker for having multiple copies in several types, which is actually ridiculous. You can only have one mega active at a time, meanwhile you can have 5+ shadow mewtwo's in a single raid party. For min/maxxers, this is one of the only pokemon worth powering up lmfao

[@te3j]

exactly this. shadow m2 sits nearly at the top of most of these categories. super versatile and definitely worth powering up. personally, i only go to level 40 and have multiple m2's for the different attack types.

[@mattv2099]

Mega Mewtwo X and Y will be released in conjunction with X and Y tickets for Kalos tour in 2026. Also note that with the next pokemon game being Z/A, a continuation of X/Y era, we will likely also get mega Mewtwo Z and A with that game and probably get those in Go... in ten years lmao

Same. Good luck. 😅

[@linovieira9739]

Hey, I love your videos, man. Thank you for everything! Can you share where you see this list of the top 10 attackers for each type?

[@DHJakon]

Not expecting to get a shahundo but I’ll give it a shot.

[@natedeanmaan2]

Same here. Getting a 100% is more realistic compared to a shundo

[@rim_on7362]

I'm very appriciative of spoofers because of them me and my sister can participate in shadow 5* raids sometimes. Thanks spoofers.

[@shawn_in_toronto]

I have a shiny shadow 14-15-15 but I use focus blast in master league instead of shadowball.

[@Buffyxox]

My plan is to get enough XL candy to finish powering up my Hundo Mewtwo so I will be mega evolving a psychic type pokemon for extra candy. I hope to get a 96 IV or better shadow mewtwo during this weekend event and I will power it up over time.

[@RapazStevenson]

Why is MegaRay better than MegaMewtwo Y? The second one has more attack, how is this possible?

[@sadiqulkadir7507]

Better to use elite tm on a normal mewtwo right for pvp? I find my shadow ones so weak

[@antoniomoya7633]

So quick question, if I do the fighting type with confusion, focus blast , will the third attack always be psystrike for any attack build ?

[@MrvexSlayer]

I come from the future its decent but i can't test it out in master league cuz they removed it

[@shiots.8358]

I got 15 passes, I’m definitely ready for that shiny

[@davidm4773]

Need help!! I have a 15/14/15 and a 14/11/8 and a 13/13/11 shadow Mewtwo. Should I purify the 15/14/15 when mega mewtwo comes out to have a hundo or one of the others ... Assuming i dont get a better normal mewtwo by then??? Thanks!

[@Lizardz_rule]

I glitched a raid and want to do it again. basiclly what happend was the timer couldn’t go out and mewtwo couldn’t attack. Plz help me do this again bc I don’t got even a legendary

[@katiewilliams2729]

I don't do shadow legendary raids besides I already have a shadow Mewtwo and shiny Mewtwo so since shiny shadow Mewtwo is in person raid locked only it's not worth my time

[@shawn_in_toronto]

Besides it's not even a raid hour/day. Raids will be happening randomly.

[@Ginger0616]

Is it better to give one strong mewtwo 2 moves or to power up a second one with the 120 candies

[@e-man7143]

Billy, i have about 6 super rocket radars. Do i use them on shadow groudon?

[@BenjaminEngel507]

With not same type moves on mewtwo confusion is the dumbest thing ! You need by Shadowball,ice beam Psychocut! Because of spamm this moves. Strong Pokemon definitely

[@kirathyst]

I could only do the raid today, since tomorrow is Easter, i got 3, 2 star Shadow Mewtwo. Should i keep these and power them up? They are the only shadow Mewtwo i have.

[@5LayerKb]

Yes, power them up, and use your elite TM’s on them. I’m doing 1 S Mewtwo as psychic and the other as shadow.

[@dantededicatoria5362]

Yes!!!

[@SRMRobot]

Why is psychic worse than phystike, cuz it looks like it has the same cost/damage

[@Bryce-biker]

Bigger question how am I going to solo it 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@mastvideos6298]

Need at least 3-4 person for win the raid

[@miguel_7515]

Oh well

[@kavi212]

I’m a remote player, I’ve always understood that this game was made for people to go out, travel, and not stay in one place. It’s good that these are always weekends so I was try make it a point to go somewhere where there’s a lot going on. Like go walk, have lunch downtown, or go window shopping in the nearest city area. Works out really well for me, least time I got in 4/5 raids and didn’t even stay long and never saw any of the others players 😂 it was fun though.

[@metalguard4]

Shadow raid on a holiday weekend....Niantic not only out of touch with its players but also basic holidays lol

Niantic refuses to acknowledge Christmas, so there's no way they'll acknowledge Easter. That's just what we get for playing a game from a Heathen & Secular game developer.

[@YoutubeSucksEggs]

My first Shadow Mewtwo had max attack and it being my favorite Pokémon I’ve leveled it to around level 48. Almost every raid I do he’s been there, the dps is crazy.

[@whysoserious85]

Hate this is a shadow raid...

[@user-Camjja]

Ok unpopular opinion but the shadow raids are a lot of fun!!! I know it’s hard to find a community but when you do it’s REALLY worth it and also a lot of fun.

​@@user-CamjjaI agree with you, Also Campfire as well, really helps out on Elite and Shadow Raids

​@@user-CamjjaI agree, it is difficult but when u take it down ( legendary shadow raids ) it's so satisfying becuase of the difficulty and I've met lots of people from doing shadow raids, overall I'm all for it

[@zenox0288]

Its called poGO so yes you need to go together to fight it😂

[@assaqwwq]

You haven't answered anything. You didn't say if purify or not. You didn't say which charged moves help with most raid bosses. You didn't say about DMG difference between 40 and 50. Nothing...

[@BenjaminEngel507]

Do Not purify a Shadow Mewtwo! You can trade Mewtwo for a hundo mega Mewtwo y. You need psystrike. The Second Move can be Shadowball or ice beam

[@assaqwwq]

@@BenjaminEngel507 shadowball has some issues when taking into consideration how glassy shadows are. Ice seems to have better coverage in raids. Realistically, there is a diminishing return on investment when it comes to leveling 3 or more shadow mewtwos. Especially after lvl 40.
