Mega Mewtwo Y is a powerful non-Dynamax sweeper capable of ripping through bulkier teams with ease owing to its extensive movepool and phenomenal offensive presence. Furthermore, a blistering Speed tier allows Mega Mewtwo Y to naturally outpace offensive staples such as Adamant Zacian-C, Jolly Ultra Necrozma and Arceus forms, and regular Mewtwo. Another advantage of using Mega Mewtwo Y is that it is Imposter-proof by default. Ditto is incapable of OHKOing Mega Mewtwo Y, while it has a good chance to OHKO Ditto. Additonally, because Mega Mewtwo Y is a Mega Evolution, Ditto transformed into it are incapable of Dynamaxing to break the Choice lock, and, as such, are fairly easy to check. Psystrike is Mega Mewtwo Y's STAB option, allowing it to break through common special walls such as Chansey and Ho-Oh. Ice Beam allows Mega Mewtwo Y to OHKO Zygarde-C without boosts and deal heavy damage to Yveltal. Fire Blast lets Mega Mewtwo Y OHKO Necrozma-DM after a boost and break through Ferrothorn without a boost. Fire Blast also lets Mega Mewtwo Y revenge kill Adamant Zacian-C after minimal chip damage and OHKO it after one boost. Focus Blast is an option to OHKO Tyranitar after a boost, but can be a costly choice against Yveltal. Unnerve is the preferred ability to situationally ignore Occa Berry users such as Necrozma-DM and Magearna as well as Chople Berry Tyranitar if running Focus Blast. The given EV spread allows Mega Mewtwo Y to outspeed Adamant Zacian-C and survive Precipice Blades from defensive Primal Groudon after Stealth Rock damage.
Mega Mewtwo Y fits best on balance teams that can provide it with defensive and offensive support to either break holes early-game or clean up late-game. Mega Mewtwo Y is a nuclear wallbreaker and so oftentimes forces the opponent's Dynamax. Therefore, Dynamax sweepers that can run through the opponent once they have expended Dynamax, such as Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde-C, make good teammates. Mega Mewtwo Y can struggle to find setup opportunities against more offensively oriented teams, limiting it to revenge killing In particular, it is forced out by priority users such as Mega Rayquaza and Arceus forms. Teammates that can check these threats, such as defensive Zygarde-C and Lunala, are particularly important. Additionally, due to its weakness to Ditto once it has taken chip damage, ideal teammates for Mega Mewtwo Y are Pokemon that can easily beat a Ditto that has transformed into it, such as Necrozma-DM, Ho-Oh, Lunala, and Tyranitar. Tyranitar in particular is a key partner, as it checks Yveltal and can Pursuit trap a Ditto transformed into Mega Mewtwo Y while eliminating Lunala, one of the best counters to Mega Mewtwo Y. Owing to Mega Mewtwo Y’s inability to break through Tyranitar, teammates that can effectively take advantage of Tyranitar, such as Zygarde-C and Necrozma-DM, are also effective. Other good teammates for Mega Mewtwo Y are those that can take advantage of its ability to heavily pressure special walls, like Yveltal, Choice Scarf Kyogre, and Xerneas.
