Which Mewtwo to power up?

With the recent mistake made by Niantic I got the chance of getting another Mewtwo, and now I don't know which one to max out. I have more than enough resources and I know that Mewtwo is not a heavy meta relavant mon but still want to have one maxed out just because I like it. So which one of them would you max? And what moves do you think are more future proof for him?

- 15A/11D/15S 91.1%
- 15A/15D/12S 93.3%

I am the kind of player that looks into the future so which one is a better long term investment? Looking into probably pvp, gyms and future raids...Thanks for your thoughts.

Both are good options, but personally, I would probably do the 93%. At 13 stamina, you're losing out on only 2-3 hitpoints when maxed out, so not a big deal at all. Losing 4 points in defense though (which happens to be Mewtwo's lowest base stat) could potentially result in not hitting a bulkpoint for some fight. Also, the 93% should have a higher max CP compared to the 91%, so there's also that.

I would go with the 93%. It might have 2 HP less than the 91% at level 40 and it's higher defense stat will make it better in gyms (if ever allowed) and would probably perform just as well, if not better in battle than the 91%. There are very few times where an extra 2 HP are going to make a huge difference, and that difference might very well be made up by its higher defense. Just my 2 cents.

That's incredible that 2/2 of them are so good. Why not both? Focus Blast is an entirely separate niche from Shadow Ball.

I can say from doing 7 EX-Raids that I haven't run into any nearly so good, so I don't think the odds of getting another, better one are extremely high.

Maybe you raid enough to do so many EX raids, or maybe you're lucky. Some people don't spend that much money on the game to be able to just power up two mewtwos.
I got a 96% which I powered up to lv 39, only there because it's CP is at a clean 3900.

Disagree. I'd power up both and have different charged moves. FB Mewtwo and SB Mewtwo are really quite different, and Psychic Mewtwo, while not quite as strong or useful as either of the first two, is the strongest Psychic mon in the game by a wide margin, and also has its uses.

Really nice to have 2 90% ones, so you can cover 2 of the 3 good flavors of Mewtwo (Hyperbeam is pretty useless next to the other three).
