What is/would be your preferred Mewtwo moveset?
I was lucky to get an invite and catch, I've since used so many both fast and charge tm to figure out what I want and I can't- perfect world I'd like 3 (each FB, SB, P) but I can't decide which fast move works best C or PC. Anyone have thoughts which is best and if you ever got multiple would you want same moves or different on each.

Yes- I have actually left it at C/P, I must say though PC/SB was amazing against Gengar and Alakazam solo's. I think having C/P for Machamp raids and gym generalist it does much better against blissey and Snorlax in gyms hits hard, and PC/SB for Alakazam, Gengar and future legendary bosses would be ideal scenario.
I will prob do the same as well. Have 2 maxed drags so they are great generalists. Having a C/P Mewtwo will make all machamp solos a piece of cake and he will be my go to psychic Pokémon. I plan on maxing a second one at some point and will prob go w PC/SB.
Reason I am using Confusion on the first one (if I power it up) is that it's attack is only 11 so it can't hit the psycho cut breakpoint vs machamp. The drop in DPS for Confusion between an 11 attack and a 14or 15 attack is negligible.
Dude... a Psychic counter COUNTERS Psychics e.g. Tyranitar, etc. I will not use my Mewtwo to counter a fellow Psychic type by choosing Shadow Ball like this site's Mewtwo counter. I would simply make him a pure Psychic attacker and that would imply I would use him against anything weak to Psychic such as Machamp.
Psycho Cut/Shadow Ball counters Psychics pretty hard since PC is more energy-gain than DPS like Confusion. Though Tyranitar resists Psychic-type moves one degree more than Mewtwo, Mewtwo is a key counter because Psychic raid bosses (Mewtwo, Alakazam) often carry the Fighting-type move Focus Blast, which absolutely decimates Tyranitar in a single hit.
Other than HB, the charged move you get subtly shifts M2's focus. I got PC/SB and plan to keep it. HB is the only move I'd consider TMing out of, and only because I have Dragonite as a generalist.
Confusion does more DPS, but I have plenty of Confusion battlers and want a different experience with M2.
