Mega Mewtwo X

PsychicFighting

Best attacking moveset: Counter and Psystrike, worth 23.3 damage per second against a neutral target.

Best moveset

Mega Mewtwo X can learn 24 combinations. Counter with Psystrike does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.

That set is legacy. Psystrike is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Mega Mewtwo X you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Confusion and Psychic, worth 21.4 damage per second.

Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.
