Mega Mewtwo X, however, is a psychic\/fighting type, so it will require a different approach than the other Mewtwo forms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some recommended counters to help you topple the new Raid bosses:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-best-mega-mewtwo-x-counters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Mega Mewtwo X Counters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fairy<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pokemon<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Fast Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Charged Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mega Gardevoir<\/td>\n<td>Psychic\/Fairy<\/td>\n<td>Charm<\/td>\n<td>Dazzling Gleam<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Xerneas<\/td>\n<td>Fairy<\/td>\n<td>Geomancy<\/td>\n<td>Moonblast<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tapu Lele<\/td>\n<td>Psychic\/Fairy<\/td>\n<td>Astonish<\/td>\n<td>Nature&#8217;s Madness<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Crowned Sword Zacian<\/td>\n<td>Fairy\/Steel<\/td>\n<td>Metal Claw<\/td>\n<td>Play Rough<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Enamorus<\/td>\n<td>Fairy\/Flying<\/td>\n<td>Fairy Wind<\/td>\n<td>Dazzling Gleam<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ghost<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pokemon<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Fast Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Charged Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Giratina<\/td>\n<td>Ghost\/Dragon<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Claw<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Force<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Chandelure<\/td>\n<td>Ghost\/Fire<\/td>\n<td>Hex<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Ball<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lunala<\/td>\n<td>Psychic\/Ghost<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Claw<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Ball<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dragapult<\/td>\n<td>Dragon\/Ghost<\/td>\n<td>Astonish<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Ball<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gholdengo<\/td>\n<td>Ghost\/Steel<\/td>\n<td>Hex<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Ball<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-best-mega-mewtwo-y-counters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Mega Mewtwo Y Counters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dark<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pokemon<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Fast Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Charged Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mega Houndoom<\/td>\n<td>Fire\/Dark<\/td>\n<td>Snarl<\/td>\n<td>Foul Play<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mega Tyranitar<\/td>\n<td>Rock\/Dark<\/td>\n<td>Bite<\/td>\n<td>Brutal Swing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mega Absol<\/td>\n<td>Dark<\/td>\n<td>Snarl<\/td>\n<td>Brutal Swing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Darkrai<\/td>\n<td>Dark<\/td>\n<td>Snarl<\/td>\n<td>Shadow Ball<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hydreigon<\/td>\n<td>Dragon\/Dark<\/td>\n<td>Bite<\/td>\n<td>Brutal Swing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bug<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pokemon<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Fast Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Charged Attack<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mega Pinsir<\/td>\n<td>Bug\/Flying<\/td>\n<td>Fury Cutter<\/td>\n<td>X-Scissor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mega Scizor<\/td>\n<td>Bug\/Steel<\/td>\n<td>Fury Cutter<\/td>\n<td>X-Scissor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Escavalier<\/td>\n<td>Bug\/Steel<\/td>\n<td>Bug Bite<\/td>\n<td>Megahorn<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Volcarona<\/td>\n<td>Bug\/Fire<\/td>\n<td>Bug Bite<\/td>\n<td>Bug Buzz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genesect<\/td>\n<td>Bug\/Steel<\/td>\n<td>Fury Cutter<\/td>\n<td>X-Scissor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"h-zeraora-special-research\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Zeraora Special Research<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/P71afrNZEPbxs_jlCi7Sc3Vx7W-fiT3xH__JFKp6tdzMUPgy45ZLanx0WdNNtklq8FbUOWkPtqDd9kEk2UQj9PD1n9_J8zLwKuk=e365-pa-nu-w960\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to Mewtwo&#8217;s Mega forms, the mythical Zeraora officially arrives during this year&#8217;s Go Fest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Thunderclap Pokemon will be the star of a new Special Research, which all players will receive upon logging in to the game during the event.
