Mewtwo takes Super Effective damage from DARK, BUG and GHOST type Movesets due to its PSYCHIC type.

The best Pokemon to fight Mewtwo is Tyranitar with incredibly strong DARK type moves.

However, Mewtwo’s Focus Blast charge move can have devastating lethal damage to a Tyranitar if it’s hit.

Dodging is not only recommended, it’s almost mandatory.
