What Is Armored Mewtwo?
Armored Mewtwo is based on Mewtwo’s appearance in the 2019 movie Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution. In the film, Mewtwo is placed inside armor designed to suppress and control its power.
Armored Mewtwo made its Pokémon GO debut in July 2019 and was last available in raids in February and March 2020. Its return gives newer Trainers their first opportunity in years to add this special form of Mewtwo to their collection.
Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution is currently available to stream on Netflix.
