Okay, this motherfucker is no joke. The 220 speed EVs lets him outspeed both Timid Latis and speed+ Gengar and makes a great opener with Rayquaza. Ice Beam puts the fucking hurt on Rayquaza/Latis/Groudon/Exeggutor/Shiftry, Thunderbolt/Thunder 2HKOs Kyogre, especially the latter if you're not using Rayquaza, but then the Swimmers own Mewtwo in that case. Protect is an obvious choice as this is 2vs2.

Sun Mewtwo. Use this on your Groudon teams and believe me there will be pain involved. A 447 SA Fire Blast in the sun is nothing to laugh at, just ask Metagross.

A slightly more defensive Mewtwo if you really need it. The screens do help a bit.

Other Options:

Calm Mind works, but isnt recommended in the fast paced 2vs2 environment. Mewtwo gets Skill Swap, which can be devastating with all those Swift Swimmers and Chlorophyllists running around, but this is assuming Mewtwo survives. Shadow Ball/HP Dark if you're worried about other Mewtwos.

Allies:

Rayquaza is a godsend imo. Without it, weather teams would just walk right over mewtwo. Of course you can use the Sun set if you plan on using Groudon but be sure to have someone abuse Chlorophyll.

Counters:

Lugia & Ho-oh can wall it somewhat, but they dont really like SE Thunderbolts or your ally's physical moves, if any. Deoxys-F can own you if you're not playing JAA. Blissey and Regice can absorb some hits, but they wont be able to last long, especially Regice if Mewtwo packs Fire Blast. Latis with Soul Dew counter Mewtwo somewhat, otherwise Mewtwo goes Rambo on them. Another Mewtwo can pretty much narrow you down, especially if yours is slower.
 
I approve of Thunder, I don't see why you have a Sun Mewtwo but not a rain one. I don't care if it doesn't learn Surf. :(
 
Yeah, Mewtwo is THE beast in the JAA, IMO. Especially because Soul Dew is banned. How much Att do you recommend on it if it's packing Shadow Ball for other Mewtwos? I'm running max right now (its Spec Att is still good enough to usually 2hko Kyogre/Groudon/Lati@s and ohko Ray) with a neutral (LOL) nature.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that 252 Att EVs currently allows me to 2HKO most Mewtwos
 
Shadow Ball / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt / Protect is the best set for Uber Game in 2vs2. Destroys Lati@s and other Mewtwos, Ice Beam for Groudon and Dragons, Thunderbolt takes care of Kyogre. U need Shadow Ball for Sheddy and well Protect is always good. Though u could run CM or FT (for Meta and Sun-Abuse) there.
KKM I don't see the sense of Psychic there in the first Set, for a special Sweeper use IB/FT/T-Bolt/Protect or CM.
