Shadow Mewtwo is on the verge of Pokémon Go, and we now know that it will be available during Pokémon Go Fest 2020. The information comes from data miners at the Pokeminers Group who initially shared details regarding Shadow Mewtwo and have continued to find out. more on Pokémon Go Fest 2020. We don't have the exact information regarding Shadow Mewtwo, but we do know enough to understand how to capture it and how it will be available.
How to catch Shadow Mewtwo
Given the details revealed by the Pokeminers, Shadow Mewtwo will be available during the Pokémon Go Fest 2020 event. Because it's tied to the Pokémon Go Event Fest 2020, those who don't have a ticket are unlikely to can capture Shadow Mewtwo. You will likely need a ticket and be an active participant in the event when it goes live. You can purchase a ticket for the event before it happens on July 25-26. It costs $ 14,99 to attend both days.
What are Shadow Mewtwo's weaknesses?
Shadow Mewtwo will have the same weaknesses as the original. He's a psychic type, which makes him weak for bug, dark, and ghost-type moves, but he's resistant to combat and psychic-type attacks. Your best bet is to use Pokémon that can take it down fairly quickly. Some great options include Chandelure, Darkrai, Gengar, a Shadowball-knowing Mewtwo, Hydreigon, Tyranitar, Weavile, Absol, and Houndoom. There are several other options, such as Pinsir, Reshiram, and Mismagius.
Is Shadow Mewtwo related to Giovanni?
Yes, given the details we see in the data mine. It looks like Giovanni is directly related to Shadow Mewtwo, and that's how you'll be able to capture him in the first place. During Pokémon Go Fest 2020, at some point, Team Rocket will attack, and you will have to defend the event as best you can. The Pokémon Go team leaders will battle against the leaders of Team Rocket Go, giving you the chance to go straight to Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni, where you will fight Shadow Mewtwo. Unfortunately, we don't have any separate information on the rest of Giovanni's lineup, but we may be able to align it with the one he was using for July 2020.
Make sure to purchase a ticket to Pokémon Go Fest 2020 before you miss the opportunity to capture Shadow Mewtwo. It won't be the only Legendary Pokemon available, as Professor Willow continues to search for a Legendary Pokemon that we still have not identified.
