#mewtwo raid

A story in 4 frames….

So… it was an accident XD

I accidentally had Prince kill GranMew cause I, apparently, shifted over to GranMew without realizing it.

Prince bit em and GranMew died in one shot with full health. Man did not hesitate.

We still beat the Mewtwo, but it was really funny at the time with me screaming apologies.

Sorry @xxtc-96xx ! I didn’t mean to kill your Grandmew XD

And a lil redesign of Prince and the Bug Type Tera.

Yesterday, we finally got Mewtwo!

Here I'll explain how we did it in order to help out a fellow trainer in need:

After a couple of failed attempts with my boyfriend, I decided to build my Mew a bit more like a Paladin. (Full Sp Def, Full Def, Impish). My job is to tank hits and keep everyone alive. I also swapped pollen puff for life dew to heal everyone (and myself).

Next, we got into a Pokemon Discord server to ask for help. Two more mews joined the party! Our team was: 2 attackers, 2 supports. All bug tera. 🥷🥷🧙🧙

Turn 1, STRUGGLE BUG. Mewtwo loves his calm minds, so keeping his Sp Attack in check is key to survival! (I also carried light screen for good measure too). It may not do much damage, but I imagine it's very annoying... 🐛🐛🐛🐛

Once it was safe to do so, the attackers Swords Danced, while us supports kept them healthy or Mewtwo in check (Keep struggling!!). There's a reason why we didn't bother with Mewtwo's Sp Defense...

Keep this in mind when you remove a good chunk of Mewtwo's health: HE HAS REST AND CARRIES A CHESTO BERRY. So, a Mew with Electric/Misty Terrain will help TONS.

After some leech lives and more struggle bug spam, he was finally caught! 🎉

a quick little mew doodle to celebrate tomorrow

y'all ready to get your ass beat? cuz I sure am!!!! hahaha!!!!!!! 😇😇

plus this one doodle comic because I was bored. wish me luck to beat that mewtwo's ass

Do you know how frustrating it is to battle a Pokémon that uses FUCKING REST AFTER THE SHIELD IS BROKEN?!

[doks-aux]

Thank you, mystery players who helped me bag that Mewtwo!

That was absolutely wild, I don't know how we pulled it off.

[tokyoteddywolf]

Fun fact: If you hit Mewtwo twice with Mud Slap from the start and then whenever it resets its stats, nearly every attack it makes will miss aside from Aura Sphere (which doesn't do much damage anyways).

All hail your support Mews!

Pokemon company how dare you make me train this Mew just after Baldur's Gate 3 releases. Like "OH I'm sorry were you busy with those powerful purple psychic monsters? Well we have another one coming for you on Sept 1 so you might wanna prepare for that."

Why can't this Mew help prevent Ceremorphosis, riddle me that Batman.

My hopes for catching my first Mewtwo have died with my Flutter Mane. Flutter Mane instantly got oneshot and I do not want to spend a bunch of time training a Pokémon specifically for this raid.

Finally got around to dumping screenshots but yes, me and a few buddies took down the Mewtwo raid (Not once, but twice. I have both versions so technically Two MewTWOs)

(And plus my other buddy still needed to get theirs so I took it as a chance to get a second)

Pokemon Violet & Scarlet 7-Star Mewtwo Raid Guide

I now have Mewtwo in Pokemon Violet & Scarlet, so here is a guide for what I learned when doing the raids. The rest goes under the cut to save space.

You need four players using Mew. Mew gets a boost when it first comes onto the field, and I haven't found anything else that has staying power. The 7-Star Mewtwo raids really seem to be set up on the assumption that you'll be using Mew. So use Mew.

EV Mew for defense and special defense first of all, with a bit in HP and Attack. Speed's pretty much a drop stat. It's not that you can't outspeed Mewtwo with enough EVs; it's that this is a raid, not a match where you can one-shot the opposing pokemon. There really just isn't enough value in being faster to justify taking EVs away from anything else.

Have a nature that boost Attack or Defense. Note that while Mewtwo is a special attacker, it has a move that does damage on the physical side, and that's the one that it'll use the most. That move is Psystrike, and Mewtwo is getting a boost to it from being the Psychic tera type.

Mewtwo knows Calm Mind, Psystrike, Ice Beam, and Aura Sphere. Also, because Mewtwo is a Cheating Bastard, it also knows Rest and has a chesto berry. We'll get to that.

I think it's because the shields are up - oh, right, Mewtwo puts the shields up at the start of the battle, right after giving itself a starting Calm Mind boost - you can't use status moves against Mewtwo directly.

Okay, so what moves should the Mews have?

Well, between them, the Mews should have:

light screen

bug buzz or x-scissor (if tera type is bug) or shadow claw (if tera type is ghost)

leech life (regardless of tera type)

life dew

electric terrain or misty terrain

mudslap

A boosting move like bulk up or swords dance

Light screen, life dew, and electric/misty terrain only need to be had by one mew, although it doesn't need to be the same mew. You can get away with just having one mew know mudslap. Attacking mews should have a boosting move and attacking moves of the ghost or bug type. And PP max them! Mewtwo is so flipping bulky that it'll take a LOT of attacks to take it down.

When the raid starts, the team should set up light screen, and the player responsible for mudslap should hit Mewtwo about three times. Mewtwo will clear the accuracy drops eventually, at which point it should be hit another three times. Yes, aura sphere will always hit - unless you're tera type ghost! - but that is seriously Mewtwo's least powerful move. And bug type pokemon resist fighting type attacks. (Aura sphere is why dark teras aren't advised.)

Once you can Terastallize - and you're relatively healthy - do so, boost up, and focus on breaking Mewtwo's shields. Now, right before the shields go down, the player responsible for electric/misty terrain needs to set it up, pay very close attention to turns, and keep it up for the rest of the game! As long as electric/misty terrain is up, Mewtwo can't heal up with rest.

Then it's just a matter of taking out the rest of Mewtwo's health.

I used a scope lense for my item, but I could see stuff like bright powder having value. Just don't use berries! Mewtwo's ability is Unnerve, so you won't be able to use the berry.

Updated: I thought reflect was needed to halve the damage of psystrike, but light screen still does that, even though psystrike deals physical damage. Also, misty terrain is interchangeable with electric terrain for the purpose of these raids, and while bug buzz is slightly more powerful than x-scissor, the latter will work if you can't manage the former.

hello!! i love your mew setup for the mewtwo raid!!! do you think you could share it's stat spread and what item it held? :)

Sure thing! Ok, I went full Special Defense along with full physical Defense (because of Psystrike). The little bit of EVs left I dunked into HP.

Finally, the item I was holding was the Light Clay, so my Light Screen would last longer.

Blessed be to my friends brother who took my Mew away to boot camp yesterday and coordinated a raid to get the Big Bad Mewtwo today first time
