Taking on a real colossus. Science has gone too far!

Key Notes:
- This event lasted from February 27th to March 1st.
- This Mewtwo is freakin' level 100, unlike all the small fry who only reach level 70 or so in Max Raids.
- Every Dynamax Mewtwo you face has a different move set. However, Sword Mewtwo are more offensive oriented, while Shield Mewtwo put up their barriers at the start of the battle.
- Their barriers have SIX portions, as opposed to just five.

Your Ideal Team Setups
- EVERYONE HAS TO BE AT LEVEL 100.
- Be sure everyone have the right natures, moves, EVs, and IVs.
- THE MUST HAVE: A Prankster Grimmsnarl who can tank. It SHOULD know Taunt, as that causes Mewtwo to lose a move trying to use a buff move (Bulk Up, Calm Mind, Nasty Plot (which it can learn in this Gen now)). Light Screen and/or Reflect are needed as well. Lastly, leave a damaging move.

(The following are only gotten through trading from older versions.)
- Lunala or its Necrozma form give it a very good tanky and offensive role, as it can entirely avoid super effective attacks.
- Mew with Life Dew so it acts as the healer.
- Despite Marshadow being weak to Mewtwo's Psychic moves, its Spectral Thief allows it to steal Mewtwo's buffs, apply them to itself, and then strike all in the same turn. Grimmsnarl's Taunt may make Marshadow's role a bit pointless, but the fact it carries the Technician Ability to boost up Shadow Sneak for quick but harsh blows can be a lifesaver.

- Following the above, in case you don't have those exclusives, try to replicate the strategies. In general, Fire- and Psychic- types are mostly in the clear since Mewtwo lacks super effective moves against them (as Torkoal, er, AKA Sun Daddy can attest with its Clear Smog move to clear out buffs on Mewtwo at any time).
- ALWAYS KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR HP! There's no shame in using healing items if it means saving you from getting beaten!
- In case you find your own den with Mewtwo but you fail to win, make a note of what moves it has to counter them accordingly.
- You can't catch Mewtwo, by the way, but it does give out some juicy rewards, like an Ability Capsule per defeat.

- Thank you to the 3 players who decided to band together with me in this endeavor! Using random online players may be very risky. This is all better done as a team effort.

Watch, enjoy, and comment, everyone.
