How to create a good group of trainers to capture Mewtwo in Pokémon GO

Compared to the headaches of other legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo is not that difficult to catch in Pokémon GO raids. The key is to take advantage of your weaknesses and compensate for them with a well-balanced team of coaches

As explained in PokeBattler, the main rule is create an Instinct team, a Valor team, and a Mystic team. Also, each of those teams should be divided into groups with enough power to defeat the gym leader.

Capturing Mewtwo in Pokémon GO: the importance of the team in the raid

In addition to this balanced division of the participating trainers, each of the players must have a good Pokémon team for combat. It is very important to take into account the contribution of each team, and ensure that each one has enough damage output to win the match.

For practical purposes, it is better to secure two bonus balls to guarantee the capture than to create a group that is too small and unable to capture Mewtwo .

The data for the analysis of possible results of the battle is based on PokeBattler's own simulator.

And how to get those bonuses?

The choice of Pokémon you have made for the raid comes into play here. You can use the PokéBattler Raid Simulator to identify the power of your team.

To know the performance of a Pokémon in your team, you have to divide the “power” you get in the simulator by six. If this result exceeds 20%, the chances of doing a lot of damage to Mewtwo are quite high.

But it's important to get to that percentage in the allotted time: If you don't manage to deal that damage before Mewtwo wears down, you won't you will get the full bonus.

Keys to capture Mewtwo with a small team

There are three essential factors that you should take into account if you are going to start a raid against Mewtwo with a small team.

First, make sure that the combined power of all your Pokémon exceeds 100%. Make the calculation considering the total of all the Pokémon of all the trainers of the team.

Secondly, make sure your personal time to win is under 180 seconds

Lastly, don't be overconfident: all the data is based on simulations, but you have to leave a margin of error just in case of calculations fails.
