Mewtwo team filler

Already have 3 Tyranitar, 98% SC Gengar and a Mewtwo maxed, so I got a spot free in my Mewtwo squad.

The frailty of my first maxed SC Gengar actually annoys me a lot already, but its DPS is superb vs Psychics like Latis and Mewtwo, so I dont hesitate to place it in the front spot to get off 2 shadow balls and faint.

My options are these:
-98 14 HP SC Gengar L15
-98 (basically 100, because 14 HP=15HP at 40) Tyra L20
-87 15-13-11 Tyra at 30

For now I just use that L30 TTar or a 2200 Gengar with Hex as last mon.

Edit: Holding on to Darkrai might make sense, as it potentially could outperfrom both TTar and Gengar.

I would use a Ghost Gardevoir

I think you mean OK against Focus Blast. Mewtwo is of course optimal, but notably Rayquaza, Salamence and Dragonite all sport better DPS with only a bit less TDO than Gardevoir.
EDIT: Whoever downvoted can go downvote pokebattler. My post is based on sims, your silly opinion that SB Gardevoir is somehow good is not.

I’d go with the L30 TTar. It is unlikely you’ll need your 6th mon in an Ex raid, however.

I trioed my last Mewtwo, so I actually needed them all and had to relobby. Lately we have many exraids with very few legits showing up, as spoofers constantly trigger gyms in our area now, so it wouldnt surprise me, if being able to 3 man it is essential.

I'm gonna voice the minority opinion here:

Go ahead and slot in the other SC Gengar. Unless you're up against Focus Blast, three Tyranitars that are maxed should last you throughout the battle. In my EX-Raid experiences, three maxed Tyranitars will generally last through the whole battle. Slot in the SC Gengars first, followed by the TTars, then end with the maxed Mewtwo. As the Gamepress Article states, if you can get a powerful Charged Move such as Shadow Ball off right as Mewtwo goes down, you still get the Damage Bonus of the overkill, making Mewtwo ideal for this (as it is somewhat frail and has a strong Charged Move with 2-bars).

I always value your opinion, as you tend to think efficiently and somewhat out of the box, so thanks for your explanation. I didnt know that part about damage bonus.
Guess, Ill gather dust until the event is over and see if I can bring Gengar up. Had a 15-15-11 Chansey which is my priority for now though.

I second this. My mewtwo team is Sc/Sb gengar, ttar, H/SB gengar, ttar, H/Sb gengar, ttar even against focus blast, have been able to 4-man mewtwo with this team (may have relobbied). It is my team for tomorrow.
