Now that everyone has caught a bunch of Mewtwo, what are your plans for them? I've got a 93% Shadow Ball at level 30, and am hoping to have 90%+ for each of the different charged attacks, currently with 93% Ice Beam, 93% Psychic(Lucky), 89% Thunderbolt, 87% Focus Blast, 91% Flamethrower and 82% Hyperbeam (OK... no one cares about that one), all at Level 20. Currently sitting on 207 Mewtwo candies and 150 rare candies. Assuming that the above are the best I get between now and when Mewtwo goes away, would you power up two or three of those to Level 30 (and if so, which ones), or simply use candy stock to power up the Shadow Ball to Level 40?

My general inclination right now is to take Ice Beam and Psychic to 30, and Shadow Ball to 35. What do y'all think?

My plan has remained unchanged:

- Keep raiding for candy
- Use candy to work on maxing out my 93% Shadow Ball Mewtwo (currently ~L34)
- If unable to get enough candy before the 23rd drop rare candy to cover the difference (I have over 550 RC)
- Keep highest IV Mewtwo of other charge moves
- Mark the rest for trade or transfer, depending on Halloween bonuses

The only thing I'm undecided on is what to do with my current L35 Mewtwo. It has Shadow Ball and was my first and only for several months having gotten it during the field test period but it's only 78% IV with 11a. I want to max it but 35 -> 40 is stupid expensive for little gain.

In your case I'd power up the Shadow Ball one for sure and sit on the other two for the time being, unless you need an ice attacker and a psychic attacker.

It's funny how similar my plans are. Except for having stopped powering my Mewtwos at level 30, I also have a 93% SB that I got right in time before it became legacy. My oldest M2s are a 80% and 78% with 13 and 10 attack. They were my best for such a long time that I don't regret the investment (level 30 is not so bad, though).

I wanted to max them. At least the 93%. Since there is some serious rebalancing coming soon, I'll wait until then.

I thought about that too but honestly I'd guess SB Mewtwo will still be a premier pick regardless of how the scales tip.

I had planned on powering up an ice beam and focus blast and have 96% and 93% candidates for those. I don’t really need a TB, certainly don’t need a flamethrower or Hyperbeam, and I’m going to wait for a possible Mewtwo day with a (hopefully) improved Psystrike before powering up a double psychic.

However, I’m not powering up anything until we find out what the upcoming stat rebalance does. I’m not too worried about Mewtwo becoming irrelevant because of it. But it might mean that I do need a TB one (for example) instead.

Edit: I already have 4 maxed out shadow ball and have no plans to change any of those.

I used up all of my premium passes so I am now going casually at it using only the daily free one. I just need to catch one more so I can finish maxing a fourth shadow ball one and I'll save any extra candies I get before it leaves. If I get enough pinap catches I'll max a fifth one, but only if.

Got a 98% Newtwo too, so that's cool.

I already have a perfect Mewtwo with shadow ball and over 300 candies, and I just transfer all my other mewtwos - I only keep one for each pokemon.

Maxed 15a/14/15 ShB and a 15a/11/15 ShB long time ago. Lucky ShB 12/14/12 is at level 38. 13a/13/11 Ice beam is at 3550. Have 14a/13/15 lucky Ice Beam at 2700. Probably get that last one to level 35. Not much Mewtwo raiding around here, I bought 1 ultra box...11 premium passes left

Just gonna keep catching the best IV Mewtwos I can find. Once I got it after 23rd, I planned to change its charged move to Psychic, since I already have other pokemons who already benefits the Fighting, Ice, Electric & Fire charged moves.

If you're wondering, my 1st Mewtwo was the time when they made it as an ordinary T5 raid, so I don't have a Hyper Beam/Shadow Ball Mewtwo.
