3 Steps to Defeat Mega Mewtwo X
Step 1: Assemble the Elite Counters Because Mega Mewtwo X is part Fighting-type, it is weak to Fairy, Flying, and Ghost. The absolute king of this raid is Mega Rayquaza with Dragon Ascent (Flying). Other top-tier choices include Mega Gardevoir (Fairy) and Mega Gengar (Ghost). Avoid using Dark-types like Tyranitar, as they are now weak to Mewtwo’s Fighting-type moves!
Step 2: Exploit the Typing Synergy Teamwork makes the dream work. Coordinate with your raid group to use Mega Evolutions that boost your teammates’ attacks. If someone has a Mega Rayquaza active, everyone’s Flying-type moves get a massive damage buff. Given Mewtwo’s insane attack stat, we recommend a group of at least 6–8 high-level trainers to ensure a win within the time limit.
Step 3: Master the Catch and IV Check Once defeated, you’ll revert it to its base form for the catch encounter. Keep an eye out for a 2387 CP (or 2984 CP in Windy/Cloudy weather)—that’s the perfect 100% IV! Use Golden Razz Berries and aim for Excellent Curveball throws. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter its iconic neon-green Shiny version.
