The best counters for Mewtwo are what you and your battle team need to have to defeat Mewtwo in raids successfully. Mewtwo will be available in raids from Monday, May 25, 2026, to Monday, June 1, 2026. The raids will be available from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day in Japan Time (JPT).
Mewtwo is available in raids during the in-person Pokémon GO Fest in Tokyo. It will also be available in raids during the other in-person GO Fests.
