I want to max a 10/11/12 mewtwo. Advise not to?
Because with neither psyco cut or confusion he will not loose any dmg vs. mewtwo or raikou (who follows in Europe).
Other opinions?
P.S. Initially I was bumped for the small iv (73%) and lowest attack stat but after playing with this breakpoint tool I decided to go all the way, not only too lvl 30.

This was 2nd ex raid in my city, first one with me invited. Next in line should be the area here I play a bit more, so I have reasonable chance to get another invite in next wave.
But why should I regret?
0. A perfect one does not seams to be stronger in relevant raids (the extra HP can be solved with a simple dodge on a quick move, I intend to change to psyco cut after Suicune leaves or even sooner)
1. Dust: I have the dust for the 4th one :) (Provided I will max only one more Rhydon for Raikou, a 100% one not 2 more and a Dragonite as I planned :), but screw them :) ).
2. Candies: After maxing a Raikou in about 6 weeks I will keep the rare candies for the 2nd Mewtwo :). I will have at the end of november probably all the rare candies provided by Raikou raids since if I catch 20 Raikous I will have enough (with the current remaining candies after maxing Mewtwo) rare candies to max the better Raikou.
So again, what I could regret? :). What do I miss in my reasoning?
P.S. I will let him at 38.5 probably so if will be a major pain in the ass that he does not cross 3800 cp (he does not at level 39) I will try the double phone trick just to make it pass the damn 3800 cp.
Sorry dude, it sounds like you're in denial against the facts. If you had a 100iv Mewtwo (Which you almost seemingly view as inferior somehow), you wouldn't be making this post.
Sorry about your luck, but you got a crap Mewtwo. My first one was too. Got a 96 after that.
P.S Whatever your 73% Mewtwo can do (ie Dodge...) So too can a 100% one, or any other higher one.
If you get another (better or not) Mewtwo, then you have the option of specializing them.
- Confusion/Shadow Ball makes a great generalist
- Psycho Cut/Shadow Ball makes a viable Psychic
counter - Confusion/Focus Blast makes a great Normal/Rock/Ice counter (add in resistance to Psychic attacks and neutral typing to Fairy attacks)
- Psycho Cut/Focus Blast are for those sillies that Mewtwo is a viable Tyranitar Counter
The reason I did my analysis on breakpoints was due to the fact that I level him up to 30 and felt that I will have non benefit from that (I have better mons on every scenario I could though). And the conclusion I've reached made me quite happy :), an 100 IV one will not be quicker than mine vs. upcoming Europe raid boss (Raikou) and EX raid boss (mewtwo himself).
76%, 11-10-13 (A-D-S). Surely I'll get a better one when i'll get my 2nd Ex Raid Pass. But the question is, will i ever get another one?! And if i will, will it still be a Mewtwo Ex Raid?? This is a game, this is my opinion, this is my Mewtwo. The 10 Atk you have won't get 3800 for sure. But do you really care?? He will be your Top Cp Mon for a very long time. And if you have enough dust and assume a 150 rare candy gain per month I think you'll never regret a lv 38,5 Mewtwo. Enjoy your Mewtwo, many Trainers still haven't one and i'm sure they would power-up yours. You choose, happy pre-gen 3 event everyone.
Sorry for that. Good that you at least ended up with focus blast (is psychic better than HB becouse of his small cast time? Luckly I did not had to study that aspect).
Yep. It was hyper beam initially but wprked as hoped on 1sr one.
I had 5 ctms, I was willng to spent 3 for shadow ball or settled for focus blast on 4th or 5th.
