==[[Pokémon Live]]==

[[File:MechaMew2 commercial.png|thumb|MechaMew2 from a commercial]]
'''MechaMew2''' is a robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} loosely based on [[Mewtwo (M01)]] seen only in ''[[Pokémon Live!]]''. It is considered by its creator [[Giovanni]] to be the most powerful Pokémon in existence. MechaMew2 is able to learn any [[move]] and amplify its power, and by the end of ''Pokémon Live!'' it had learned every move in [[Generation I]]. This ability allows it to know more than four attacks at once.

Throughout Pokémon Live!, MechaMew2 shows no emotion or remorse for having to hurt Pokémon. Giovanni promised {{pkmn|Trainer}}s the very rare Diamond Badge to anyone who could defeat it. MechaMew2 is defeated when Mewtwo uses an attack against it which was full of love, care, and friendship. After experiencing these feelings, MechaMew2 decides it can no longer go along with {{an|Giovanni}}'s evil plan, and it grabs Giovanni by the throat and performs {{m|Self-Destruct}}, destroying Giovanni's Gym and itself.

The prop itself is {{tt|10'|3m}} tall, {{tt|7'|2.1m}} wide, and {{tt|8'|2.4m}} deep. It was made by Costume Armour. If the weight listed on the TCG card is that of the prop, it weighs {{tt|4587 lbs.|2080.6kg}} MechaMew2 bears a resemblance to {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} when it wore armor in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. Instead of legs, MechaMew2 uses tank-like treads to move around, and it carries a large power source on the front of its body. Part of its design, namely the treads, resembles the HK-Tanks from the ''{{wp|Terminator (franchise)|Terminator}}'' series.

===Promotional Card===
[[File:MM2Card.png|thumb|right|150px|MechaMew2's promo card]]
MechaMew2 never made an official appearance in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]; however, a promotional card was given out to attendees of the performance. The card is 7" tall by 5" wide, making it slightly smaller than the jumbo-sized Pokémon cards. The backside of the card features the Pokémon Live! logo, instead of the standard TCG card back; this was likely done to show its non-compatibility with the Trading Card Game.


{{TCGTrainerText |
effect=
This mechanical marvel was created by Giovanni, the diabolical leader of Team Rocket. It has the power to learn, then amplify and return, the attacks of any Pokémon it meets in battle, making it virtually unstoppable. To insure that MechaMew2 learns every type of Pokémon attack, Giovanni lures trainers to battle him by offering the one-of-a-kind Diamondbadge to whoever can defeat him. |

==''{{DetPikMov}}''==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Mewtwo Detective Pikachu trailer.png|thumb|left|300px|Mewtwo in {{DetPikMov}}]]
Mewtwo was created by humans in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] 20 years in the past, but he managed to escape. Months before the events of the film, [[Harry Goodman]] was recruited by [[Howard Clifford]] to track down Mewtwo, which eventually led to his capture. Trapped in a spherical chamber, Mewtwo was used by [[Dr. Ann Laurent]] to produce the [[R]] substance, an aerosolized drug that can make Pokémon go on a rampage due to a [[Berserk Gene|unique element]] of Mewtwo's DNA. However, Mewtwo was freed by Harry and his partner Pikachu, making Mewtwo realize that not all humans are evil. When Harry's car crashed in an {{m|Water Shuriken|ambush}}, Mewtwo came to his rescue and combined a dying Harry into Pikachu's body but also erased his memory, creating {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}} as a result.

When Detective Pikachu was critically injured, a group of {{p|Bulbasaur}} brought Harry's son [[Tim Goodman|Tim]], as well as Detective Pikachu, to Mewtwo's location, where he healed Pikachu. But before Mewtwo was able to fully reveal the secret of Harry's case, he was captured and taken away by Howard's men, apparently led by Howard's son [[Roger Clifford|Roger]]. When Tim arrived at Howard's office, he learned that Howard was trying to transfer his mind into Mewtwo, so that he could use Mewtwo's ability to transfer all humans' minds into their Pokémon. Mewtwo tried to warn Tim to run before his body was taken over.

After a long struggle, Tim was able to remove Howard's neural link and Mewtwo was freed. As Detective Pikachu was about to fall to his death, Mewtwo used his psychic powers to save him. He then reversed the disaster caused by Howard. Before taking his leave, Mewtwo revealed that Detective Pikachu was actually Tim's father Harry Goodman and unmerged Harry out of Pikachu's body.

===Personality and characteristics===
This Mewtwo is portrayed as a benevolent figure despite his mistrust of humans, much like {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01|both}} {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16|Mewtwo}} in the anime after their character development. While mostly viewed by Tim and Pikachu as a dangerous, malevolent figure prior to meeting him, Mewtwo is, in fact, a protector of both humans and Pokémon, able to use his abilities to save the lives of others as he watches over them.

This Mewtwo differs from previous depictions of the character in two ways. The first is that he possesses the unique ability to transfer the minds of humans into Pokémon. This ability could only be done when the receiving Pokémon are willing (as in the case of Detective Pikachu) or when they lose control of themselves (when drugged with the R substance). The second is that he speaks with an androgynous "fused" telepathic voice provided by a male and a female voice actor; despite this, unlike previous Mewtwo, which were almost always referred to with gender-neutral pronouns, he is referred to with male pronouns throughout the movie. However, when Howard's mind is transferred into Mewtwo, he speaks non-telepathically with Howard's voice.
