This set is basically the same as the old calm mind+taunt set, but with a slight change to the EV's.

Here is the new set:

252 SpA/212 Spe/44 Hp
Held item-Life Orb/Leftovers

Moves
-Calm Mind
-Taunt
-Aura Sphere
-Ice beam

The new speed EV's give mewtwo 384 speed, just enough to outspeed max speed darkrai, while forfeiting the ability to tie with other base 130's (crobat, aerodactyl, and jolteon). But these pokemon are rarely seen in ubers (if ever) so it's of little consequence to mewtwo. The remaining EV's are put into HP to give mewtwo a little extra bulk (If this is a bad HP number for leftovers/life orb, a few EV's can be taken out of Hp and placed in special defense instead). This same EV spread should also be used on other attacking sets, because as stated earlier, mewtwo doesn't really need to worry about other base 130's. Anyways, the rest of the details of this set are the same as the old calm mind+taunt set so there's no need to repeat them here.
 
The old 4HP/252Sp. Atk/252 Spe worked better than this one actually. Also, the spread you have given does not outspeed max Speed Timid Shaymin Sky Forme, which has a speed of 387. 44 HP does not do that much in terms of bulk.

Yeah, I forgot about shaymin, but he's not even that common in ubers anyways (in fact, a lot of people actually ban him due to the need for AR to get him on wifi), so who cares?? Oh, and btw, shaymin's max speed is 388, not 387...

Actually, its more common than you think and a team always needs to have some sort of preparation in dealing with these kind of threats despite their seemingly obscurity. Also, Max Speed on Mewtwo allows him to a least tie with other Mewtwos.

Updated EV spread

252 SpA/220 Spe/36 Hp


If I did the math correctly, this should give mewtwo 389 speed, enough to outspeed shaymin. I'm hoping that this EV spread becomes the new standard for offensive mewtwo's, because he really doesn't need more than 389 Hp.
 
There is literally nothing that Mewtwo will survive with 8 more HP and I'd rather speed tie opposing Mewtwo anyway.

This should've went in QC but will be rejected all the same.
 
Gonna have to say no on this one, the bit of extra bulk isn't worth losing a Mewtwo Speedtie over.
 
We discussed this on IRC and we decided that losing out on Speed tying with other Mewtwo isn't worth the insignificant amount of extra bulk.

Locking, but thanks for the suggestion!
