Pokémon has welcomed many legends to its ranks over the years, but Mewtwo holds a special place in the franchise's legacy. While not the only legendary included in Generation I, Mewtwo's post-game status and movie career helped cement the genetically engineered creature as one of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon's true elites.

Even more than two decades after its debut, Mewtwo still ranks among the to ever grace the Pokémon universe. Mewtwo's inclusion in a game is always used as a selling point, but the bipedal clone is not available to catch in every mainline entry in the series. Here is how to unlock Mewtwo in each Pokémon game, not counting spin-offs. For Pokémon Go, Mewtwo is limited to Ex Raid Battles.

10 ⛄ Red, Blue, & Yellow; FireRed & LeafGreen; Let's Go Pi﷽kachu & Eevee

Mewtwo is the easiest to obtain in Generation I's Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, & Yellow, as he is essentially the post-game boss. Once players have defeated the Elite Four and the Pokémon Champion, they will be able to enter 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Cerulean Cave to challenge Mewtwo. As there is only 💯one, it is adviꦚsed to use the Master Ball.

For the Nintendo Switch's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, the process is essentially the same, although the rem🦋akes' gameplay changes require that Mewtwo is defeated and then caught. Golden Razz Berries are recommended to increase the likelihood of Mewtwo remaining in a Poké𒉰 Ball.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:FireRed & LeafGreen complicate things slightly by requiring the꧂ games' trade service to be unlocked by supplying the gems required to activate Celio's Network Machine. Once done, Cerulean Cave will open to allow Mewtwo to be caught.

9 Gold,ꦗ Silver, & Crystal 🎃

While Kanto can be visited in the post-games, Mewtwo is not in Game Freak's Generation II games. However, the legendary Pokémon can be unlocked using the Time Capsule. Each Pokémon Center holds a Time Capsule on its second floor, which becomes available to uღse once players reach Ecruteak City and have 🤡a chat with Bill.

After that point, it becomes possible to tradꦗe between games from Generation I and II, although the latter must trick the system into believing they are the former. Remove any Generation II Pokémon from a party, or Generation I representatives with moves that were not introduced in the first set of games, and then it should beཧ possible to trade for a Mewtwo.

8 𒉰 ꦏ HeartGold & SoulSilver

Thankfully, Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver simplified the process for capturing Mewtwo by reinstating Cerulean Cave, which was reduced to a pile of rubble in Pokémon Gold, Silver, & Crystal. After Johto is completed, head to Kanto to t🐠ake on the region's Gym Leaders.

Once all the badgesꦡ are collected, Cerulean Cave will become accessible. As per usual, Mewtwo will be waiting inside. It is a difficult fight and, if one is still available, it is best to use a Master Ball.

7 Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald🦄; Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

Once again, Mewtwo is locked behind a trade wall for Generation III's main games and their later remakes. For Ruby & Sapphire, the easiest way to get Mewtwo is to trade with FireRed & LeafGreen, which requires a Game Boy Advance Link Cable, two Game Boy Advances, an🐭d tw൩o Pokémon in each party.

Emerald adds an extra step as the National Pokédex must be unlocked to trade outside of Generation III's core games. This is done once a player joins the Hall of Fame after becoming Pokémon Champion. When it comes to Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the quickest way is to use Wally's PlayNav to transfer Mewtwo from X & Y to the remakes.

6 Colosseum & XD: G🐻ale of Darkness

Pokémon Colosseum & XD: Gale of Darkness both support trading with the Game Boy Advance games; therefore, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, & LeafGreen are all prime candidates to transfer a Mewtwo into the GameCube titles. The Nintendo GameCubeღ Game Boy Advance Link Cable is needed to connect the two platforms.

Colosseum restricts trading until Evice is defeated, who is the final villain of the game's main storyline. XD: Gale of Darkness follows suit by al🃏so requiring t✨he main antagonist, Greevil, to be defeated before trading is unlocked. Once each boss is crushed in their respective games, trades can be done at the Pokémon Center in Phenac City.

5 Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum 𒈔

There are a couple of ways to get Mewtwo in Generation IV's core games, but they all involve trading. The main method is to use the Pal Park found in Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum to migrate Mewtwo from FireRed & LeafGreen. This requires the latter's cartridge to be inserted into the Nintendo DS's GBA Slot, which will cause an option to appear in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Generation IV's games' menus asking whether content should be migrated from the older💧 games.

The National Pokédex has to be unlocked for this to𝓡 be possible, a feat achieved once the are all𒈔 seen.

4 😼 Black & White; Black 2 &🦄amp; White 2

Obtaining Mewtwo in Generation V involves unlocking it in the previous generation's core games and then transferring it over to Black & White. This is done through the Poké Transfer Lab's titular𒊎 service, which becomes available once the National Pokédex is received in the post-game. This utilizes Nintendo's system.

This allows Generation IV Pokémon to be transferred to Generation V games, although a mini-g🧜ame must be done to complete the pr❀ocess.

3 X & Y

Taking a break from all the trading, Pokémon X & Y celebratedﷺ Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions by returning to the good old days when all that was required to capture the legendary clone was to defeat the Elite Four and enter a nondescript cave.

This time around, Mewtwo c෴an be found in the Unknown Dungeon, a cave located in the northern zone of the Pokémon Village. As usual, there is only one Mewtwo, so make sure to come stacked with the necessary items.

2 Sun & Moon; Ultra Sun 💫& Ultra Moon

Mewtwo is not in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Sun & Moon, but trading for it is relatively easy as it is available in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. For the latter, Mewtwo can be found in Ultra Space Wilds' Rocky World, which is accessed by goinꦛg through green portals. Encounters are randomized, so this is just a matter of repeatedly visiting this area until Mewtwo appears.

Once Mewtwo is captured in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, it is time to trade it to the games' predecessors. Trading becomes available relatively quickly in these games, as the menu options appear after the first Pokémon Center is accessed. Quick Link is use♑d for exchanging Pokémon between two Nintendo systems that are in close proximity, while the Festival Plaza is for transfers over the internet.

For the most recent core entries in the series, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Sword & Shield, Mewtwo can be acquired by using Pokémon Home. Once the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:program is set up on the Nintendo Switch, simply transfer the Mewtwo caught in Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee into Pokémon Home.

Once that is done, Mewtwo can then be transferred into Pokémon Sword & Shield. It is a one-way trip, so make sur🗹e Mewtwo🧸 will not be needed in the older games.
