Here's How You Can Catch Mewtwo In Pokemon Go Now

Mewtwo is coming to a Raid Battle near you.

Wednesday, August 16, 2017 - 14:05

You might have heard that trainers in Japan’s Pokémon Go Stadium event in Yokohama, Japan, have recently caught Mewtwo. All good for the people lucky enough to be there, right? But what about the rest of us?!

It’s okay - the Pokémon Company has heard our cries! Mewtwo is coming to all Exclusive Raid Battles soon.

Niantic

“Exclusive Raid Battles are similar to existing Raid Battles, with a few notable differences. Exclusive raids will periodically appear at Gyms around the world; however, unlike existing raids, Trainers will be invited to join an Exclusive Raid Battle,” says the Pokémon Company.

“To receive an invitation to participate in an Exclusive Raid Battle, Trainers must have successfully completed a raid recently, by defeating the Raid Boss, at the Gym where the Exclusive Raid Battle will be taking place. The invitations will include advance warning of when the Exclusive Raid will take place, giving them ample time to coordinate with other Trainers before taking on the powerful Raid Boss.”

While Mewtwo is the first Pokémon trainers will encounter in the Exclusive Raid Battles, it won’t be the only one. Soon, other “powerful Pokémon” may also start to hatch from your Raid Eggs.

We’ll also get another catch to catch Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Lugia in Raid Battles from now until the end of August 31, 2017. So get battlin’!

Right now in Europe, more super rare pokemon can be found for a limited time - but you've gotta be quick!

Pokémon Go accounts that use third party trackers (and by that, we mean accounts that are already flagged as cheats) won’t be able to see rare Pokémon in scanned areas. But Niantic recently got down to srs bsns and now all cheaters will get a mark of shame.

11 Pokémon Facts That Could Change EVERYTHING

  • "Pokémon’’ is not a Japanese word, but it’s a combination of the two English words ‘’Pocket’’ and ‘’ Monster’’ - a bit like how Tamagotchi means egg and watch. The Japanese love a good portmanteau don’t they?

  • Uber is now doing rides for Pokémon Go. While it’s a neat idea for the company to capitalise on the game’s popularity – if you take up the offer then we hope Hitmonchan hits you with a big stick.

  • The master ball has a 1 out of 65536 chance of failing. But don’t let those odds lure you into a false sense of security. If Donald Trump can become the Republican nominee – anything can happen.
