What time does Mewtwo raids start?
In Pokemon GO, Mewtwo will return to raids from June 16 to July 1. During this time, players will be able to catch two versions of this Pokemon, each of whom knows a distinct Charged Attack. This creature will know Shadow Ball if captured from June 16 until June 23. Psystrike will be known if caught between June 23 and July 1.
Best counters to Mewtwo
Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Pokemon. This makes fighting it rather simple. The following three types are very effective against Psychic types:
- Bug
- Ghost
- Dark
Use Pokemon of this sort to make taking down the raid boss a breeze. Moves of these types do 160 percent damage. Psychic types such as Mewtwo, on the other hand, are strong against two different kinds. If you must utilize one, be sure it’s not:
- Fighting
- Psychic
These types of attacks’ damage will be reduced to 63%.
