Today, I wanna talk about how I got my Shadow Mewtwo geared up. It’s a real beast in Pokemon Go, and getting the right moves for it took some doing. So, I jumped into the game, ready to grind.
First off, I had to catch this bad boy. I kept my eyes peeled for those Team GO Rocket events ’cause that’s when Shadow Mewtwo pops up. I battled a bunch of grunts, beat the leaders, and finally got to face off against Giovanni. After a tough fight, bam, I caught Shadow Mewtwo. It felt pretty awesome, not gonna lie.

Then came the tricky part – figuring out the best moves for this guy. I dug through some forums and watched a few videos from some pro players, you know, the usual drill. Some folks swore by Confusion as the fast move, especially if you’re up against something weak to Psychic. Others were all about Psycho Cut, saying it’s better when Psychic isn’t super effective or if the target’s got some resistance going on. I decided to test both out, battling in raids and against other trainers to see what worked best in action.
- Confusion: I used this one a lot when I knew I had the type advantage. It hits pretty hard and fills up the charge move meter decently.
- Psycho Cut: This one was my go-to when Confusion wasn’t cutting it. It charges up super fast, letting me spam those charge moves.
For the charge move, I messed around with a few different ones, I’ve tried a lot and find the Shadow Ball the best. I saw a lot of people talking about this move. I used some of those rare Charged TMs during a Team GO Rocket Takeover event. Let me tell ya, getting rid of Frustration and slapping on Shadow Ball was a game-changer.
Here’s how I did it step by step:
- Waited for a Team GO Rocket Takeover event.
- Opened my Pokemon inventory and picked my Shadow Mewtwo.
- Hit the “Power Up” button and used a Charged TM to replace Frustration with Shadow Ball.
Final Thoughts
After all that, my Shadow Mewtwo is an absolute monster in battles. Using Psycho Cut to charge up fast and then hitting them with Shadow Ball does some serious damage. If you’re trying to build a solid raid team, definitely start with Shadow Mewtwo. It took some time and effort, but it was totally worth it. Now, my Shadow Mewtwo is ready to take on anything. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m always looking forward to the next challenge.
