Mega Mewtwo X Raid Guide – Best Counters, Weakness, CP & Strategy

Mega Mewtwo X – Raid Boss Overview

Mega Mewtwo X is a high-tier Mega Raid Boss: a temporary, powered-up form of Mewtwo that you fight in raids to earn Mega Energy and catch Mewtwo afterward. It is designed as a late-game “boss-level” raid challenge, not a casual raid target.

• Mega Mewtwo X turns it into a multi-role powerhouse:
  • PvE attacker
  • Raid Mega boost provider
  • Flexible counter Pokémon

Prestige / rarity factor

• Likely GO Fest exclusive debut
• Hard to farm energy outside events
• Shiny version becomes highly collectible

Evolution & Buddy Distance – Mega Mewtwo X

Here’s how evolution (Mega system) and buddy distance would work for Mewtwo → Mega Mewtwo X in Pokémon GO, based on how Mega mechanics actually function in the game.

Evolution (Mewtwo → Mega Mewtwo X)

Mewtwo does NOT evolve in the normal sense (like Charmander → Charizard). Instead, it uses Mega Evolution system.

Mega Evolution Process

Mega X vs Mega Y system

• You may need separate energy types:
  • Mega Mewtwo X Energy
  • Mega Mewtwo Y Energy

Buddy System

Mewtwo can be set as your buddy Pokémon, and it gives progression benefits.

Buddy distance system

What buddy walking gives you:

Candy farming

• Every X km walked = 1 Mewtwo candy

Mega energy bonuses

• In special events, walking buddy may:
  • Give bonus Mega Energy
  • Reduce Mega Evolution cost over time

Friendship perks:

• Unlock “Best Buddy” boost
• Slight CP boost when active buddy

Best Buddy Benefits

When Mewtwo becomes Best Buddy:

• +1 Level CP boost (when active buddy)
• Faster resource efficiency
• Slight combat advantage when not Mega evolved

How buddy system helps Mega Mewtwo X

Even though Mega Evolution is raid-based, buddy system helps indirectly:

• Faster candy farming → more power-ups
• Easier XL candy grinding (long-term)
• Prepares high-level Mewtwo for Mega form

Candy Bonus & Catch Benefits – Mega Mewtwo X

What “Boost Candy from Catching” means

When you catch a raid boss (after defeating Mega Mewtwo X), you don’t just get Pokémon—you also get::

• Regular Candy (Mewtwo Candy)
• Chance of XL Candy (for level 40+ Pokémon)
• Bonus Candy depending on boosts

Main ways candy is boosted

Mega Evolution Candy Boost

If you have a Mega Pokémon active:.

• Catching Pokémon of the SAME TYPE gives bonus candy

Example:

If Mega Rayquaza is active:

• Catch Flying-type Pokémon → extra candy

If Mega Mewtwo X exists in future:

• Psychic + Fighting Pokémon catches may get boosted candy

Who benefits from candy boost?

Players farming legendary Pokémon

Example

• Catching Mewtwo after raids
• Using Mega Evolution = more candy per catch

Helps:

• Powering up faster
• Reaching Level 40–50 quicker

PvE attackers

• More candy = more power-ups
• More XL candy = stronger Pokémon for raids

Helps:

• Maxing out Shadow Pokémon
• Building raid teams faster

PvP players

• Candy = powering up PvP Pokémon to correct CP caps
• XL candy = required for Ultra/Master League builds

Mega Pokémon users

Passive farming advantage:

• Every catch = bonus candy
• Same-type Pokémon = even more efficient farming

Example:

• Mega Gardevoir active → more Fairy candy
• Mega Gengar active → more Ghost candy

Catch Reward Breakdown

Base rewards:

• 3–6 Mewtwo Candy
• Chance of XL Candy
• Premier Ball catch chance

Boosted rewards:

• Pinap → double candy
• Mega boost → extra candy per catch type
• Events → bonus multipliers

Strategy to maximize candy

Best method:

• Use Golden Razz (for catch safety)
• OR use Pinap (if confident in catching)
• Activate Mega Pokémon of same type (if possible)
• Catch during event bonuses (if active)

Simple understanding

• More candy → more power-ups
• More XL candy → endgame strength
• Mega Pokémon → long-term farming efficiency

Is Mega Mewtwo X worth raiding in Pokémon GO?

Yes — but for the right reasons. It’s one of the best long-term investments in the game, not just a one-time raid target.

The Biggest Reason: Top-Tier Mega Attacker

Why it stands out:

• Extremely high Attack stat
• Dual typing (Psychic + Fighting) = huge coverage
• Can perform well even without perfect type advantage

Mega Boost = Massive Team Value

What Mega Mewtwo X boosts:

• Psychic-type moves
• Fighting-type moves

Long-Term Value

It will be useful for:

• Legendary raids (Dark, Steel, Normal bosses)

Versatility Advantage

Mega Mewtwo X can:

• Act as Fighting attacker
• Act as Psychic attacker
• Work as neutral damage brute

When It Might Not Be Worth It

Skip or limit raiding if:

• You don’t raid often
• You lack strong teams to defeat it efficiently
• You’re low on raid passes

Beginner vs Advanced Value

Comparison Insight (X vs Y)

Final Verdict

You SHOULD raid Mega Mewtwo X if:

• You want a top-tier Mega attacker
• You raid frequently
• You play in groups
• You care about long-term value

You can SKIP if:

• You’re very casual
• You only want the absolute highest DPS (then focus on Y)
• You have limited raid resources

Personal Raid Experience – Mega Mewtwo X

Facing Mega Mewtwo X feels very different from a normal Mega raid. The first thing you notice is how aggressive the boss is—its attacks come fast, and its damage output is noticeably higher than most Mega raids.

First Impression

When I entered the raid, the biggest surprise wasn’t just its power—it was how quickly my Pokémon started fainting.

• Even strong counters like Ghost-types were taking heavy hits
• Charged moves from the boss felt punishing if not dodged
• It immediately felt like a high-skill raid, not a casual one

Learning the Hard Way

In my first attempt, I made a common mistake:

• I used full glass cannon counters without dodging

Result:

• My team wiped out too quickly
• I had to relobby, losing valuable time

Adjusted Strategy

On the next attempt, I changed approach:

• Mixed Flying + Ghost types instead of only fragile attackers
• Started dodging charged moves only (not fast moves)
• Coordinated Mega boosts with teammates

Result:

• Much smoother battle
• Less relobbying
• Faster overall clear

Team Coordination Impact

One of the biggest differences came when raiding with a coordinated group:

• A teammate used a Mega
• Others aligned with Flying-type attackers
• The boss HP dropped significantly faster

Tough Moments

The hardest part of the raid was:

• When Mega Mewtwo X used strong charged moves
• If you miss a dodge, it can instantly remove a Pokémon

It creates pressure:

• Do you keep attacking?
• Or dodge and lose DPS?

Catch Phase Experience

After defeating it:

• Catching Mewtwo felt familiar but still tense
• The circle is small and movement is unpredictable
• Timing throws after attack animation was key

What Makes This Raid Unique

From experience:

• It’s not the hardest mechanically, but it punishes mistakes heavily
• It’s one of the few raids where:
  • Dodging matters
  • Team coordination matters
  • Mega boosts feel impactful

Personal Rating

Unique Insight – Mega Mewtwo X

“Dual-Role Mega” — Not Just a Damage Dealer

  • But faint quickly vs strong counters

Especially dangerous against:

• Flying moves
• Ghost nukes

Mega X vs Mega Y = Strategy Choice, Not Power Difference

It Changes Team Building Philosophy

Before Mega Mewtwo X:

• Teams were built around type advantage

After Mega Mewtwo X:
