What is Mewtwo’s catchrate in different conditions with an ultra ball?

2 minute read

I’m legendary hunting on Pokémon Y, and I’m starting with Mewtwo or Zygard. I want to know which I should use a master ball on, but I couldn’t find information on Mewtwo.

If you use an Ultra Ball with no status conditions, the default catch rate is raised by 2×.

Here are the benefits from status conditions:

If you already caught your box-Legendary (Xerneas/Yveltal), I suggest you save your Master Ball for Zygarde.

Use the masterball on Mewtwo.

Reason: Mewtwo can recover from damage making him hard to catch. It also can do lots of damage to your team and it’s Mega.

Zygarde: Doesn’t heal. Easy to resist damage with Fairy types.

Also you will want to make sure your Mewtwo is the right nature as it can be the strongest Pokémon on your team. Zygarde can be re-arranged in Sun/Moon /USUM.
