Christmas has arrived early for Pokémon Legends Z-A players as everyone can obtain a Mewtwo for free.
Mewtwo becomes the latest legendary in the pool of playable Pokémon. However, obtaining it can be slightly different from how you usually build your team and collection in Z-A. This guide will state all the essential steps required to unlock Mewtwo and the bonus stones that will let you mega-evolve it during a battle.
How to obtain Mewtwo in Pokémon Legends Z-A
To obtain Mewtwo, you'll have to complete the main story, which will take a fair amount of time. If you have already completed the main campaign, you'll have access to Mewtwo's side mission.
Titled Project M, the side mission requires you to travel to Lysandre Cafe, located to the northeast of Wild Zone 8. Before completing the mission, make sure to claim your Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y stones from the mystery gift feature. The stones are available to all for free and allow you to mega-evolve your Mewtwo once you obtain it.
Take the elevator down to B3, and follow the corridor until you reach the end. A cutscene will follow, and then a prompt will appear whether you want to release the locks of Project M. Select yes, and Mewtwo will appear. Approach Mewtwo to start the fight, which will then allow you to capture it.
If you have caught other legendary Pokémon, you'll know how hard the fight will be. Mewtwo is a Level 70 Psychic type, so use Dark and Ghost Pokémon to increase the effectiveness of your attacks. You'll also want to use rarer Poke Balls to raise the capture success rate.
Once you catch it, speak with Mable. She will explain why Mewtwo was kept as a captive, and reward you with 10,000 Poke Dollars and one XL Exp Candy.
