Pokemon GO Mega Mewtwo X takes the general raid difficulty challenge to another level. With its incredible offensive pressure and wide movepool, this Legendary Mega Evolution should be approached with caution.

Unlike standard Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo X is a dual Psychic- and Fighting-type Pokemon. This gives it access to more STAB options, making it far more versatile in battle. Because of that typing change, players will need to change their raid teams before facing it.
