Background
Mewtwo was created by Team Rocket as an artificial lifeform and weapon. During its early existence, it experienced dreams involving a girl called Mewtwo 2, then awakened to learn its own origins. It destroyed New Island, was deceived by Giovanni into wearing power-suppressing armor, and later broke free after realizing it had only been treated as a tool. Its confrontation with Mew and later experiences at Clear Pond and Mirror Lake led it to recognize itself as an individual life rather than Mew's clone or Team Rocket's weapon. 1141
After the Clear Pond incident, Mewtwo erased Team Rocket's memories concerning it and lived alongside the Pokémon it had cloned. It discovered that its clones lacked Life Energy, leaving them with short lifespans and preventing unevolved clones from evolving. Mewtwo dedicated itself to finding a treatment that would allow them to integrate naturally into the world. 367 372
Appearance
Mewtwo is a silver-white humanoid Pokémon combining human and feline traits. It has purple eyes, three segmented fingers resembling paw pads, a long purple abdominal tail, and an external nerve bundle extending from the back of its neck. 370
- Base form — Silver-white body, purple eyes, purple tail, and a composed but imposing presence. 370
- Mega Mewtwo X — Taller, more robust, and built with explosive muscle strengthened by Mental Energy; its eyes turn blue, and it manifests Aura alongside its Psychic power. 1141
- Mega Mewtwo Y — A smaller, more compact Mega form that contains an exceptionally dense amount of Psychic-type power. 1216
- Cloak — Often wears a flax-colored cloak while operating discreetly in Ultra Space. 997 1216
Personality
Mewtwo is stern, proud, highly independent, and intensely distrustful of humans who treat Pokémon as possessions or weapons. It is especially hostile toward Team Rocket because of its own creation and exploitation, and it despises Goh's use of modified Poké Balls to control Pokémon. 1094 1095
Despite its cold manner, Mewtwo is deeply responsible toward the cloned Pokémon it created. It refuses to sacrifice Su Hao's well-being for their treatment, builds a secure home for clones and adopted Pokémon, and later agrees to act as Mew's guardian. 374 1208 1312
Mewtwo is competitive and somewhat stubborn around powerful Legendary Pokémon, regarding Calyrex as a rival and refusing assistance it believes it can manage itself. Its ultimate personal goal remains becoming the strongest. 1141 1158

Story Role / Major Arcs
Cerulean Cave and the Cloned Pokémon
Mewtwo catches Su Hao intruding into a hidden Cerulean Cave space containing cloned Pokémon. Although it initially considers erasing Su Hao's memories, Su Hao's knowledge of its past and ability to create Life Energy lead to cooperation. Mewtwo agrees to treat Eevee and seeks Su Hao's aid in curing the clones. 370 371 372 374
Cero Island and Mega Evolution Research
After healing the cloned Pokémon, Mewtwo relocates them from Kanto to Cero Island to hide them from Team Rocket. There it researches Mega Evolution, struggles with unstable Mental Energy, and eventually chooses the physical, Fighting-type X path before developing its Psychic-focused Y form. 1092 1093 1141 1216
Team Rocket Counterattack
Mewtwo remains cautious about confronting Team Rocket until it is confident in its Mega Evolution and physical strength. Once it acts, it destroys Team Rocket's suppression machinery and directly challenges Giovanni's attempts to control it again. 1096 1142 1151
World Championship
Mewtwo appears as Su Hao's third Pokémon against Dande and Gigantamax Charizard. It defeats G-Max Wildfire with Psychic Break, Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, and protects the audience by neutralizing the attack's aftermath with Aura Bullet. 1183 1184
Ultra Space and Blue Star
After spending two and a half years settling the cloned Pokémon, training, and locating an entrance to the parallel Ultra World, Mewtwo reunites with Su Hao and agrees to accompany him to Blue Star. It later shares intelligence on Ultra Megalopolis and constructs a laboratory to prepare a counterattack. 1216 1217
Guardian of Mew

Conflict with Dark Mewtwo
Mewtwo confronts Dark Mewtwo, an alternate self who submitted to Giovanni's control. It alternates between Mega Mewtwo X and Y while fighting, insisting that its bonds and refusal to submit make it stronger than the version of itself consumed by darkness. 1546 1547 1561
Notable Quotes

“I will not submit.” 1546

Trivia

- It is not the same individual as Dark Mewtwo or Armored Mewtwo, which originate from an alternate timeline and serve Giovanni. 1546 1563
