As of today, December 2, 2025, there is major news regarding Mega Mewtwo X and Y. While these two forms originated in the Nintendo 3DS era, they have just made a significant return in the newly released Pokémon Legends: Z-A via a new update/event.
Here is the breakdown of the differences between the two forms and how to get them right now.
1. The Core Differences (Cheat Sheet)
Mewtwo is unique because it has two Mega Evolutions, effectively allowing you to choose between “Brain” (Y) or “Brawn” (X).
| Feature | Mega Mewtwo X | Mega Mewtwo Y |
| Type | Psychic / Fighting | Psychic (Pure) |
| Stat Focus | Physical Attack (Highest in game) | Special Attack (Highest in game) |
| Look | Muscular, armored limbs. | Smaller, floating, long head-tail. |
| Best Moves | Drain Punch, Zen Headbutt, Low Kick | Psystrike, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam |
| Playstyle | A surprise physical brawler. | A faster, harder-hitting version of standard Mewtwo. |

Which is better?
Mega Mewtwo Y is generally considered the superior choice in competitive play because it plays to Mewtwo’s natural strengths (Speed + Special Attack). It is faster and hits harder instantly.
Mega Mewtwo X is a “niche” surprise. Since most opponents expect Mewtwo to use Special attacks, Mega X can catch them off guard by hitting them with a massive Physical Fighting move.
2. How to Get Them (New – Dec 2025)
In Pokémon Legends: Z-A (Switch)
As of the December 2, 2025 update, these forms are now available in the game (which launched in October).
The Event: Check your Mystery Gift or look for a new “Legendary Side Mission” that appeared in your quest log today.
The Reward: Completing this mission (or claiming the gift) grants you the Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y Mega Stones.
In Pokémon GO (Mobile)
Status: Not yet fully released.
While sprites for Mega Mewtwo were added to the game files earlier this year, they are not currently in Raids.
Prediction: Most data miners expect them to debut during the Pokémon GO Kalos Tour (likely coming up in early 2026) or a special “Elite Raid” day soon.
