This page offers a guide on the best Pokémon to make a Mewtwo Tera Raid Build with. The event runs from midnight on the 1st of September to the end of 17th of September 2023.

Best Mewtwo Tera Raid Builds¶

Mewtwo will naturally have a Psychic typing with a Psychic Tera Typing. This means players need to use a Mewtwo Tera Raid Build that’s strong against Psychic-types which have a strong resistance to them.

Mewtwo is going to have some strong Psychic type moves and maybe a few surprises. It’s Psychic tera typing will pack some intense damage as standard, but will do 2x damage towards Fighting and Poison types. Psychic and Steel types will stand a much better chance, with Dark types being resistant to Psychic types all together.

Ultimately players will want to take a Dark type Mewtwo Tera Raid build into battle with a strong moveset to match, but this won’t work. We’re actually going to be giving Mew the Bug Tera typing, more on this in a moment.

This usually illusive mythical Pokémon is currently available until 18th September, 2023, so make sure to grab the mystery gift code and get yours. It’s Tera Typing is random, with players only allowed one Mew per game save, so chances are it’s Tera Type with need changing to Bug. Don’t worry, we’ve got a guide on how to change Tera Typings, just make sure to have 50 Bug Tera shards before going ahead. Due to the long-standing rivalry between Mew and Mewtwo, Mew will gain a 50% HP boost and a 20% boost to every other stat. This includes Mews that have been IV trained to the max.

Tera	Nature	EV Focus	Ability	Moveset	Held Item
Bug	Adamant	HP and Attack	Synchronize	Leech Life/Misty Terrain, Life Dew, Struggle Bug, Swords Dance	Metronome/Light Clay

After making sure Mew’s Tera Typing is , all of the above moves can be learned by TM bar Life Dew. Our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet database has locations and recipes for every TM to make trainer’s lives easier. Mew’s modest nature gives a nice boost to attack at the expense of attack, which is fine for the best Mewtwo Tera Raid builds.

Mewtwo the Unrivaled cannot be defeating in solo battles, which means trainers will need to form a team with the following Leech Life strategy, created by Austin John Plays and Anubis:

A team needs to consist of three attacking Mews and one healing Mew. Attacking Mews will need to do the following:

• Turns one to three: Use Struggle Bug to reduce Mewtwo’s Special Attack.
• Turns four to six: Use Swords Dance to sharply increase Mews Attack Stat.
• Turns seven onwards: Use Leech Life repeatedly until Mewtwo is defeated.

Healing Mew will need to follow the following strategy:

• Turn One: Use Light Screen to reduce Special Attack damage for eight turns thanks to Light Clay.
• Turns Two - Four: Use Life Dew to keep party healed until just before Mewtwos shield breaks.
• Turns Five: Use Misty Terrain to prevent Mewtwo from going to sleep and using Rest.
• Turn Six onwards: Altenate between Life Dew and Misty Terrain until Mewtwo is defeated.

We all know 7-Star Tera Raid battles don’t go smoothly, so if Mewtwo nullifies it’s own stat changes, all attackers need to use Struggle Bug for two turns to bring it’s Special Attack back down. For team Nullifiers, use Swords Dance for two to three turns then carry on attacking with Leech Life. This strategy is the only known way to defeat Mewtwo The Unrivaled and requires a team with good communication to do this. We would recommend using our own Gamer Guides Discord channel or your friendly neighbourhood Pokémon Discord.
