Summary
APokemon GOplayer who recently got back into the game after an absence of five years just discovered the value of a certain monster that’s been sitting unused in their phone — Armored Mewtwo. The player actually had three different armored Mewtwos caught in theirPokemon GOaccount, but two of their friends have already laid claim to the extras.
While Mewtwo has always maintained a strong presence throughout the history ofPokemon, being the biggest and baddest Legendary in the original group of 150 monsters, its armored version is a highly sought-after variant in the mobile augmented reality game. This particular version of Armored Mewtwo was created for the movieMewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution, which hit theaters in Japan in the summer of 2019 and retold the story of 1998’sPokemon: The First Moviein a CGI art style. While both of those movies and the first episode of the anime all depicted an armored variant of the genetically engineered creature, the modern variant had a few upgrades made to it.
For three weeks during July 2019,Armored Mewtwo five-star raids were added to Pokemon GO, giving players a chance to battle and capture their own version of the decked-out movie Pokemon, provided they had the skills and luck required to get one, with a second raid event being held the following year. Reddit user weedle321 was apparently able to get their hands on three of the monsters during the first limited-time raid event before temporarily retiring from the game. Having only recently come back toPokemon GO, the player said they didn’t realize what valuable Pokemon they had been keeping on the proverbial shelf.

While the armor worn by Mewtwo in the movie is actually meant to suppress its phychic powers, it certainly doesn’t bring any detriment to the monster’s viability in the game. The one Armored Mewtwo the player showed off in the thread has a CP of 1,821 and a three-starPokemon GOappraisal rating for its IVs. Fortunately, this is the version of the monster that the player decided to keep for themselves, as IVs are randomized after a trade.
As of now, it isnot possible to get an Armored Mewtwo inPokemon GOwithout some form of trading. Fortunately for those who can find a player willing to give up an Armored Mewtwo, the Pokemon does qualify for the game’s Special Trade feature, which could at least save them a lot of Stardust.
