Here are some frequently asked questions and important tips about Mewtwo Raids in Pokémon GO for February 2021.
When do Mewtwo Raids start and end in February 2021?
Mewtwo will begin appearing in five-star raids in Pokémon GO alongside the Kanto Tour event. It starts Saturday, February 20 at 9:00 a.m. in your local time zone. Luckily, while the Kanto event only lasts for the day with follow-up bonuses and activities to follow, Mewtwo will stick around until the end of the month. It will depart Monday, March 1 at 8 a.m. local time.
How many players are needed
Mewtwo is one of the toughest raid bosses in Pokémon GO, so you should be prepared for a tough battle. Based on previous appearances, it's possible for a small three-man squad to beat him, but it's all on his side. High-level players with best friend bonuses and a strong team of top counters against Mewtwo can accomplish this, but for the rest of us, we need more friends. Try to have at least five players before taking on Mewtwo and watch the weather to be on your side.
What weather stimulates Mewtwo and the counters
Mewtwo is boosted by Wind with its amplified CP and Psychic attacks. Unless you have a great team, you should avoid this. Instead, you'll want to watch out for fog, which will increase Ghost and Dark type attacks on your counters giving you the edge. Mewtwo also has a wide moveset, so just about any weather can give more power to his charged attacks. Just be careful and watch what he's using, then adjust your counters if necessary.
What CP for 100% IV for Mewtwo
Mewtwo has the following CP ranges depending on the weather.
- 2294 to 2387 CP without weather boost
- 2868 to 2984 CP with windy weather
A caught Mewtwo will be level 20 without the Windy Weather boost that raises it to level 25.
Can Mewtwo Be Shiny, How To Get Shiny Mewtwo
Shiny Mewtwo was available in the past and will be available again for the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto event and beyond. You have about a XNUMX in XNUMX chance of encountering Shiny Mewtwo when you defeat him, so the only way to get one is to do as many Mewtwo raids as you can. The more you do, the higher your chances of getting a shiny.
