Mewtwo Mega Y

Legal regulations: regulation-m-a

Mega Mewtwo Y is the glass cannon of Regulation M-A: the highest special Attack in the format wrapped in a blistering Speed tier that lets it pressure before most restricted Pokémon act. Psychic STAB backed by Aura Sphere and the coverage you need for the field means it can carve through most teams once it moves, which is exactly why opponents will do everything to stop it from moving. Its defining weakness is the same as its strength — it is genuinely frail, and any physical priority or fast super-effective hit removes it in one exchange. Mega Mewtwo Y therefore rewards hyper-offense structures that can give it free entry through redirection (Indeedee-F) or through position reset, and it struggles on slow, value-based teams where its fragility gets exposed. It also competes for a Mega slot with teammates, so the trade-off is real. Use it as the closing threat of an aggressive team: soften the board with a physical lead, bring Mewtwo in mid-game, and let its Speed and raw power close the set before the opponent can find an answer to the specific coverage you are carrying.

Mewtwo Mega Y performs best when its role is clearly defined in team preview. As a Special Attacker and Speed Control Pokémon, focus on positioning it where it can execute its job without being forced into unfavorable exchanges. As a restricted Pokémon, it will attract significant counterplay — plan support and speed control around it.

When teambuilding, pair Mewtwo Mega Y with Pokémon that cover its type weaknesses (see counters section below) and provide the speed control or redirection it needs to function. Review the common moves and items section for established sets, then adjust based on your team's specific needs.
