• Choice Specs Mewtwo is a strong and decently fast wallbreaker that crucially outspeeds Arceus. Its power and coverage give Mewtwo the ability to OHKO or 2HKO just about every Pokemon in the tier.
• However, Mewtwo can easily be revenge killed by Miraidon and Koraidon, both of which outspeed and threaten a KO on it after Stealth Rock.
• Psystrike capitalizes on the lack of Psychic-resistant foes, as even Zacian-C struggles to take more than two Psystrikes. It also helps against Calm Mind Arceus, especially Tera Poison variants.
• Ice Beam hits Pokemon like Giratina-O and Tera Flying users like Zacian-C. Mewtwo can use Tera Fire to resist Tera Flying Zacian-C's STAB moves and OHKO it with Ice Beam after minimal chip damage.
• Flamethrower hits Zacian-C and Tera Steel users. Koraidon's sun can ensure the OHKO on Zacian-C as well as 2HKO on max HP Arceus.
• Grass Knot is mainly used for hitting Mewtwo's worst enemy, Ting-Lu. It also hits Arceus-Ground, Kyogre, and Groudon much harder than Ice Beam, potentially scoring OHKOes if they run more offensive spreads.
• Tera Fire gives Mewtwo useful resistances against common revenge killing options like Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Zacian-C's STAB moves. If sun is active, Tera Fire Flamethrower can 2HKO bulky foes such as Clodsire and Koraidon.
• Choice Specs Mewtwo's most important partner is Koraidon, usually with Choice Scarf. Koraidon helps power up Mewtwo's Flamethrower and lures in Mewtwo's favorite targets such as bulky Arceus formes and other physical checks.
• Defensive partners like Clodsire, Ting-Lu, Skeledirge, Gliscor, and Landorus-T are appreciated to check threats like Miraidon, Koraidon, and Zacian-C.
• Miraidon and Calm Mind Arceus variants appreciate Mewtwo's effectiveness at breaking through specially bulky Pokemon like Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Iron Treads, and defensive Arceus formes.

Tera Flying users that wouldn't take as much damage from Psystrike.

give examples of these tera fly users because from the top of my head I can only think of miraidon, who's not clicking tera anyways. is it only zacian? if so mention it. also talk about how the interaction works (I'm assuming both m2 and Zac are trading teras if this interaction occurs)

If Sun is active Tera Fire Flamethrower becomes even more threatening and effective as it can now be used to 2HKO

2hko what? I think you forgot to finish this sentence

good analysis

1/2

• Choice Specs Mewtwo is a strong and decently fast wallbreaker that crucially gets the jump on Arceus. Its power and coverage are nothing to scoff at as they give Mewtwo the ability to 2HKO or OHKO just about everything.
• However Mewtwo is not fast enough nor bulky enough to be able to keep up with Miraidon or Koraidon, both of whom can outspeed it and, if Stealth Rock was up, threaten a OHKO with Electro Drift and Flare Blitz respectively.
• Choice Specs defines this set as it gives a huge and immediate power boost to Mewtwo's attacks.
• Psystrike is Mewtwo's best move which it uses to deal massive damage and capitalize on the lack of Psychic resists in the tier, as not even Zacian-C can take more than 2 Psystrikes. It also helps against Calm Mind Arceus, especially the Tera Poison variants.
• Ice Beam is a strong move in general that can be used to hit Pokemon like Giratina-O and Tera Flying users like Zacian-C that wouldn't take as much damage from Psystrike. If Zacian-C is boosted from its Intrepid Sword or Swords Dance, Mewtwo can Terastallize into Fire to resist its STABs and OHKO it back with Ice Beam after minimal chip.
• Flamethrower is an important coverage option that allows Mewtwo to hit Zacian-C (which has a 40% chance to OHKO) and Tera Steel users super-effectively, as they usually wouldn't be very threatened by Psystrike. Koraidon's Sun can insure ensure the OHKO on Zacian-C as well as allow for a 2HKO on max HP Arceus. That makes Flamethrower into a strong midground option which can deal good damage no matter what your opponent does.
• Grass Knot is a very strong coverage move that is mainly used for hitting Mewtwo's worst enemy, Ting-Lu. It is also very useful for hitting Arceus-Ground, Kyogre, and Groudon much harder than Ice Beam, potentially scoring a OHKO if they adapt more offensive spreads.
• Tera Fire gives Mewtwo a big damage boost on Flamethrower which helps make it even more spammable. any notable calcs? list them here instead of just saying spammable (idt flamethrower is that spammable on its own). If none besides the ones listed below, I would remove this sentence. Tera Fire also gives Mewtwo useful resistances against common revenge killing options like Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Zacian-C's STAB moves. If Sun is active Tera Fire Flamethrower becomes even more threatening and effective as it can now be used to 2HKO foes as bulky as Clodsire and opposing Koraidon.
• Choice Specs Mewtwo's most important partner is Koraidon, usually with Choice Scarf. Koraidon helps power up Mewtwo's Flamethrower as well as lure in Mewtwo's favorite victims such as bulky Arceus formes and other physical checks.
• Mewtwo also appreciates a good defensive backbone to fall back on when Miraidon, Koraidon, and Zacian-C try to threaten it out. Referring to Clodsire, Ting-Lu, Skeledirge, Gliscor, Landorus-T, and others.
  can mention partners like Miraidon or CM arcs that appreciate Mewtwo breaking through special walls like defensive arcs, ting, clod, etc

GP 1/1. GP Team Done

 

[ox04]

Flamethrower hits Zacian-C and Tera Steel users (like?).

Just kept it as Tera Steel users because almost all the top mons use Tera Steel.

(Formes or variants for CM Arceus? Formes is referring to different Arceus types, while variants is referring to sets and spreads.)

It's variants because all the Arceus formes that use CM sets can use non-CM sets.

Done.
