Pokken Tournament DX/Mewtwo

Edit Introduction

Introduction

Mewtwo is a powerful all-rounder with many tools at his disposal. Knowing the right tools to use in every situation will allow you to unlock Mewtwo’s true potential. On the other hand, having so many tools can be overwhelming to you, the player! This can make Mewtwo somewhat difficult to effectively play, although the work is definitely worth the reward. With enough practice, you should have a good idea how to utilize these tools to their full effect.
