If Future Sight+ and Dynamic Punch+ are similar to previous + moves, Mega Mewtwo X is a top-tier attacker but Y won't benefit that much
Datamined. Scopely hasn't announced this, and it isn't on the calendar.
TL;DR: I gave both Mega Mewtwos hypothetical "+" versions of their datamined moves. Assuming ~12.5% more BP (base power) than the current versions, rounded to the nearest 5. That's Future Sight+ at 130 BP and Dynamic Punch+ at 95 BP. Result: Mega Mewtwo X becomes the best Fighting attacker in the game at L40 (27.67 DPS) and stays relevant even after Mega Lucario Z arrives, thanks to better bulk. Mega Mewtwo Y barely moves. Future Sight is too weak of a base for a 12.5% bump to fix. These are just my guesses, not leaks.
There have been some discussions about the datamined moves for the Mewtwo f
