[SET COMMENTS]
Mewtwo is an astonishing offensive stallbreaker and wallbreaker with Life Orb in Ubers UU. Psystrike allows Mewtwo to bypass blanket special walls like Calm Mind Clefable and Blissey, and Shadow Ball hits Giratina, Gholdengo, and Solgaleo hard. Alternatively, Fire Blast allows it to 2HKO Solgaleo and Magearna while still hitting Gholdengo. Focus Blast hits Dark-types such as Kingambit and Arceus-Dark and is needed over Aura Sphere to hit crucial KO ranges, such as 2HKOing Arceus-Dark and OHKOing Chi-Yu. Recover helps to offset Life Orb's recoil while also increasing Mewtwo's longevity, and it gets many opportunities to use this move due to all the switches it forces. Tera Fighting is mandatory to let Mewtwo's Focus Blast OHKO Arceus-Dark and turn its Dark and Bug weaknesses into resistances, which helps against Chi-Yu and Volcarona. Mewtwo appreciates entry hazard control from allies like Giratina and Great Tusk to help its longevity. Mandibuzz, specially defensive Arceus-Dark, and Solgaleo are often solid checks to Mewtwo, meaning Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Zacian are good partners for it. In addition, Choice Scarf Chi-Yu and Zacian can outrun and threaten Mewtwo, making Arceus-Poison an especially potent partner, as it is the only reliable check to the combination of these Pokemon.

Mewtwo is an astonishing offensive stallbreaker in Ubers UU. (This feels quite empty to me, yes Mewtwo is a stallbreaker but is it also not amazing wallbreaker too? Also, i would def mention Mewtwo's great coverage here, massive part of why its so good.) Psystrike allows Mewtwo to bypass blanket special walls like Calm Mind Clefable and Blissey, and Shadow Ball allows it to hit Giratina and Gholdengo hard (Probably want to mention how Shadow Ball is Mewtwo's best option into Solgaleo.) . Focus Blast is strong Fighting coverage to hit Dark-types such as Kingambit and Arceus-Dark, as well as Kyurem-W. (Mewtwo OHKO's Kyurem-W with Focus Blast even if rocks are gone, so I think it's worthwhile to mention.) Recover helps to offset Life Orb’s recoil while also increasing Mewtwo’s longevity. Tera Fighting is mandatory to power up your Mewtwo's (Dont use second person pronouns in analysis stuff.) Focus Blast to OHKO Arceus-Dark and turn your its Dark- and Bug-type weaknesses into resistances. Timid is required to speed tie Spectrier and outspeed Zamazenta-C. (I don't think this is needed, to be honest. People just assume you run Timid because you make Mewtwo as fast of possible, and i don't see why you would ever run Modest.) Mewtwo likes to be partnered with hazard control to keep its longevity intact because of Life Orb, so Giratina and Great Tusk and good teammates for it. Mandibuzz and Arceus-Dark are often solid checks as they can live a Focus Blast and do serious damage back with Foul Play and Judgment, meaning partners like Zamazenta-C and Zacian are good pairings with it. In conjunction with this, Scarf Chi-Yu and Zacian can outrun and threaten Mewtwo offensively, making Arceus-Poison an especially potent pairing as it is the only reliable check to both of these Pokemon.
(You for sure want to mention how Mewtwo struggles into SpD Solgaleo. Solgaleo gets the 2HKO with Knock Off and Mewtwo at best has a 3HKO on it with Shadow Ball. You can mention how physically offensive Dark- and Ground-types like Kingambit, Lando-T, and the before mentioned Great Tusk helps with this.)

Mewtwo is an astonishing offensive stallbreaker in Ubers UU. Psystrike allows Mewtwo to bypass blanket special walls like Calm Mind Clefable and Blissey, and Shadow Ball allows it to hit Giratina and Gholdengo hard. (you should add in Fire Blast here, along with its major targets like Solgaleo and Magearna). Focus Blast is strong Fighting coverage to hit Dark-types such as Kingambit and Arceus-Dark. Recover helps to offset Life Orb’s recoil while also increasing Mewtwo’s longevity. (Maybe also add that Mewtwo forces lots of switches, which give opportunies to click Recover) Tera Fighting is mandatory to power up your Mewtwo's (Don't use second-person pronouns in analysis stuff. -Bella) Focus Blast to OHKO Arceus-Dark and turn your its Dark and Bug-type weaknesses into resistances. Timid is required to speed tie Spectrier and outspeed Zamazenta-C. (I don't think this is needed, to be honest. People just assume you run Timid because you make Mewtwo as fast of possible, and i don't see why you would ever run Modest. -Bella) (Also Modest misses out on the 120s so it's entirely unjustifiable) Mewtwo likes to be partnered with hazard control to keep its longevity intact because of Life Orb, so Giratina and Great Tusk and good teammates for it(this is kind of awkward wording, maybe replacing it with something along the lines of "Mewtwo appreciates hazard control from allies like Giratina and Great Tusk to help keep its longevity intact). Mandibuzz and Specially Defensive Arceus-Dark (Max HP variants just die to Focus Blast. You should also consider adding Solgaleo & Giratina here, as they're pretty good checks) are often solid checks as they can live a Focus Blast (if you do end up including Giratina or Solgaleo you should change this to "Mewtwo's attacks") and do serious damage back with Foul Play and Judgment, meaning partners like Zamazenta-C and Zacian are good pairings with it. In conjunction with this, Scarf Chi-Yu and Zacian can outrun and threaten Mewtwo offensively, making Arceus-Poison an especially potent pairing as it is the only reliable check to both of these Pokemon.
  • Pretty good job you hit most things here.
  • Only a few criticisms, Sball doesn't actually do anything to Solgaleo, and Kyurem-W is almost always going to be faster than Mewtwo so Focus Blast usually isn't actually an option since Draco kills you.
  • Maybe instead of putting a comment at the bottom about Solgaleo, just add it to the counters section, since both teammates mentioned are able to beat it, Chi-yu by being Chi-yu and Zacian typically running Tb ground/fire or running tera fighting close combat, all of which beat Solgaleo
  • Mewtwo can't fit all of its coverage moves, the given set is generally what you need to run on lorb m2
