[SET COMMENTS]
* Possessing an earth-shattering 194 Special Attack stat, Speed sufficient to outrun most Pokemon in the metagame, and coverage for its checks, Mega Mewtwo Y is a very threatening wallbreaker for balance and bulky offense teams.
* After a boost, Psystrike is able to OHKO specially bulky Pokemon such as defensive Primal Kyogre and Calm Mind Arceus-Ground after Stealth Rock and Ho-Oh after minor chip.
* Fire Blast OHKOes Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and, after Stealth Rock, Zacian-C. After a boost, it also OHKOes Calyrex-I and Necrozma-DM.
* Ice Beam allows Mega Mewtwo Y to hit Yveltal while also dissuading Pokemon such as Mega Salamence, Zygarde, and Rayquaza from switching into an unscouted Mega Mewtwo Y. Focus Blast allows Mega Mewtwo Y to threaten Arceus-Dark. However, no matter which coverage move is chosen, Mega Mewtwo Y will have a problem with either Arceus-Dark or Yveltal that must be accounted for with teammates.
* 88 Defense EVs allow Mega Mewtwo Y to survive Life Orb Marshadow's Shadow Sneak, while 216 Speed EVs lets Mega Mewtwo Y outspeed Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao while also ensuring that base Mewtwo outspeeds Marshadow. It’s not always required to immediately Mega Evolve, as Mega Mewtwo Y's reduced Defense may allow Choice Band Marshadow’s Shadow Sneak and Arceus-Dark's Foul Play to OHKO it. Base Mewtwo's Unnerve may also prove very situationally useful to prevent berries from being used against Mewtwo such as in the case of Chople Berry Arceus when running Focus Blast or in forcing initial poison damage on Lum Berry users from Toxic Spikes. However, Mega Mewtwo Y is required to Mega Evolve to outspeed threats like offensive Eternatus.
* Mega Mewtwo Y should be used as a wallbreaker in the early- and mid-game; removing Pokemon such as defensive Necrozma-DM and defensive Arceus-Ground can help its teammates sweep late-game. Mega Mewtwo Y has the potential to sweep, but it doesn't do so consistently, as it runs into many roadblocks, such as priority from Marshadow and Yveltal.
* Other offensive Pokemon such as Zacian-C and Meteor Beam Eternatus appreciate Mega Mewtwo Y breaking down checks such as Primal Groudon and defensive Necrozma-DM for them to potentially sweep.
* Arceus-Fairy and defensive Eternatus are amazing partners, as they can switch into Mega Mewtwo Y’s biggest checks in Marshadow, Arceus-Dark, and Yveltal. Defensive Zygarde can also be a great partner to handle Marshadow, and it may even be able to handle Zacian-C and Yveltal depending on moveset and Zygarde's Tera type.
