Hero-of-Time Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I had a couple of goes at beating Mewtwo last night but was not successful. I decided to have another crack at him before heading to work this morning and managed to get the win. I ended up defeating him with an AI and two random players. He wasn't that difficult and my Golisopod ended up wrecking him with his bug moves. 13 hours ago, Glen-i said: OK, yeah. Hydreigon was a mistake, the Mewtwo has blizzard as well as a fighting move. I've also seen Fire Blast, Psystrike, Earthquake, Rock Slide as well as nasty setup moves like Nasty Plot, Bulk Up and Calm Mind. Bulky Ghost Pokémon are probably the way to go here. Corsola, Eviolite Dusclops, Sableye and the like. Moves that remove stat increases like Clear Smog and Haze will be helpful as well as long as you're careful not to reset a stat drop. I love this. There's you trying to come up with certain strats and best Pokemon to use and here's me just thinking about what Mewtwo was weak to back in Red and Blue and then just going all in on attack moves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I mean you used a bulky bug Pokémon, while I'm planning on using a bulky Ghost Pokémon, sounds like we're using similar strategies. Golisopod is a fine choice, assuming you don't run into the Mewtwo that runs Rock Slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't need to worry about Rock Slide anymore. I just wanted to defeat him the once, which i've now done.

Max raids are probably the one place Golisopod shines. That ability is more of a hindrance in normal fights, but when you can't switch, it's no longer a problem. I might have to train one up myself for Max Raids, been meaning to do so. I'm genuinely impressed you pulled that off with a CPU trainer though. They can never be above Level 70, so they can't have been any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I did a couple of Mewtwo raids with some randoms, failed both times. It was fun seeing someone’s Zacian get instantly KO’d though, while my little Corsola took the hit with around 30% HP to spare. But yeah, Mewtwo hits hard! Not sure it’s worth it for those rewards... At least throw a gold bottle cap in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see people get punished for using Zacian, Zamazenta and Eternatus. Those are not great choices, one Earthquake and you're done. I plan on attempting it with either Dusclops or the Golisopod I'm currently training sometime over the weekend. Should be do-able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, get your own strat! A team consisting of at least one Grimmsnarl (or whatever he's called) works well. If his speed is higher than Mewtwo's then he can hit him with Thunder Wave straight off the bat. After that, it's a question of him using Light Screen and healing. Most people will already have a decent version of him thanks to the raids, so then it's just a question of levelling him up and giving him the correct moves.

Grimmsnarl can have Prankster as an ability, so it doesn't even need to be faster than Mewtwo to get a status effect in there. Probably why people are using it.

Ike Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have a competitive Grimmsnarl, I just to alter it a bit and feed it exp candies. I have a competitive Dusknior as well on some other game I think, so could transfer that over. I'm up for some raids tonight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Eviolite around, Dusclops getting an evolution only made Dusclops more viable. I'd be happy to do some raids later though. Hopefully we can get a full N-E room going. EDIT: I just asked @Ugh first aid if she's interested in helping out and she is. She's gonna dig out her competitive Sableye from last generation.

Hero-of-Time Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Nicely played @Ike. That's my third Mewtwo beaten. I was worried we were going to pick the same move at the start but thankfully it worked out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured you'd go for Thunder Wave since it's best to get it off store the shield goes up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
