Everything we know about Mewtwo

Mewtwo is one of the Legendary Pokémon from the First Generation.

In the main game series, Mewtwo was created in the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island. There scientists conducted gene splicing experiments on Mew DNA, which lead to Mewtwo's creation.

For this reason, Mewtwo is known as the Genetic Pokémon.

Not satisfied, the scientists continued to experiment on Mewtwo, until it had enough. One day it escaped the Pokémon Mansion, leaving the building a burnt husk and the scientist dead.

Mewtwo came to rest in Cerulean Cave where, after defeating the Pokémon League at the Indigo Plateau in the original games and the remakes, it can be fought by the player.
