CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

In the laboratories described by the Pokédex, Mewtwo is born from years of experiments on Mew's genes. The result is far more than a simple copy: the entries describe an extremely violent temperament. Behind this artificial origin is a Pokémon shaped by the experiments that created it. Its story begins less in nature than in humanity's desire to recombine nature's secrets.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Mewtwo's DNA is almost identical to Mew's, but Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! points out how greatly their size and temperament differ. This contrast captures the unpredictable outcome of the experiments that created it. Genetic similarity does not make the two Pokémon, or their stories, interchangeable.
