I trust the people who brought us "Baddy Bad" and "Glitzy Glow" to come up with something worse.
"Meany Mean Mewtwo" it is! Or we could always go for the classic "Mewty McMewface Mewtwo".

Some more details have been revealed about that Mewtwo distribution for Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. It's level 70 and has a Quiet nature.
I don't know why it's Quiet, but I suppose event collectors will go nuts for it anyway.
Except Trick Room isn’t in Let’s Go.Say hello to Trick Room Mewtwo.
Quite the weird choice for a nature... unless it somehow ties with the movie. Who knows?
Abilities are in not Let's Go and the distribution isn't for USM.The other thing special about it was having the HA; to this day that distribution is still the only available source of Multiscale Lugia that have the clover icon (and are therefore usable in VGC19).
He was referencing the Lugia event, not this Mewtwo eventAbilities are in not Let's Go and the distribution isn't for USM.
Yes, AVs are confirmed to be maxed, and it'll come in a Cherish Ball.So...a regular level 70 Mewtwo (that may or may not have better than average IVs) plus maxed out AVs?
And suddenly out of nowhere, Bank gives us HA Passimian and Oranguru. Like half a year before we move to a completely new meta
"For those of you with Pokémon Bank, new distributions have begun. These provide the Pokémon Oranguru and Passimian with their Hidden Abilities of Symbiosis and Defiant respectively. Passimian has the moves Close Combat, U-turn, Knock Off a and Gunk Shot while Oranguru has the moves Instruct, Foul Play, Trick Room and Ally Switch. These all have your OT/ID and have no special moves and can be picked up from the Pokémon Center after receiving them on Bank. It's currently unknown when this distribution will end. "

Aside from Heatran, are there any other unreleased HAs? I collect them but it's been quite a while so I forget if there were any others or if this means every breedable HA is available.So that's why they weren't available in the wild? (still wondering when Flame Body Heatran will be released)
That means we should expect this trend to continue in Gen VIII.
A small update on this, also from Serebii. These gifts are set to end on October 31st 2019, giving most of the year in which to get them.And suddenly out of nowhere, Bank gives us HA Passimian and Oranguru. Like half a year before we move to a completely new meta

Defiant is clearly superior, especially in Doubles where Intimidate is a pain for physical attackers. Not to mention that Receiver is useless in Singles. In doubles its really situational since you need to have an ally faint with the ability you want. Defiant is much more consistent for the reason mentioned above.Out of curiosity is Symbiosis Oranguru and Defiant Passimian useful?
I can see some strategies with Oranguru as it's a support Pokemon already so it giving its item to an ally who consumed there's is just another way for it to do that (though Telepathy allowed it to Instruct allies who knows multi-targeting moves like Earthquake & Surf without getting hit itself).
Not sure about Passimian, Receiver seems like the more useful Ability as you can set it up to getting a strong Ability (or force the opponent to focus on it to try ignore it getting a strong Ability).
