Mewtwo question

How do you guys use your Mewtwo? Is there a situation where he is the best for the job? Seems like Machamps are best at gym sweeping and Tyr raids (I have a good Machamp / Hariyama team). For Machamp raids I use Lugia and Alakazam+Espion, and for current Latios/Latias, dragons are best. Do you have any situations where your Mewtwo leads your team?

My dilemma - and I apologize to those who have not got any EX invites, I have two Mewtwos:
1. L34 82% IV PC/SB
2. L20 96% IV C/SB

Clearly, one of them needs to be TM'd. What should I TM one of them to (i.e. best moveset for 2nd Mewtwo) and which one should I leave as SB?

Thanks

It's good for:
1) Targets weak to Psychic
2) Targets weak to Ghost
3) Targets whose viable counters are relatively low-damage, like Electric

Because Mewtwo has 3 roles having a powered up one can allow it to fit into a variety of teams that might not be all the way filled.

Also has an anti-Blissey role with Focus Blast, but I haven't tried this yet.

I've gone back and forth with C/SB and PC/SB. For me personally there is no reason to have any other charge move as C/SB is very powerful against targets weak to psychic even if SB hits neutral and I have enough Machamps to not care about the option of FB. Personally if I had another Mewtwo powered up, I would keep that with SB as well because it's just the most versatile one. I wouldn't say it's clear that one of them needs to be TM'd, SB is the best.

I have two as well but both are in the 80s, so I haven't powered them up yet as I am hoping for a better one one day. But I think if i had your 96% I would use it pretty often. I don't usually find that Mewtwo is the best for most battles I look up, but it is generally somewhere in the top 6 for a lot of them.

If I had a Mewtwo, I would opt for Focus Blast, which would make it a far better gym sweeper than Machamp. Remember that the Normal-type tanks have Psychic-type fast moves and Fairy-type charged moves.

It's not better, it's different. A bit slower and more liable to get hit with charge moves due to FBs stupidly long animation, but quite a bit tankier.

My only Mewtwo has Focus Blast. It isn't much better at gym clearing than Machamp, although it doesn't die as fast.
