Tyranitar is still a top-tier counter against Focus Blast (If you're using 3-bar Bite, not Stone Edge). You just may have to burn a few more revives.
Against Focus Blast, consider investing into a Gardevoir/Lugia or a few Gengar, or a Rayquaza/Lati@s/dragon if you're short on those. Those that already have Mewtwos will be using those
Yes, very easy to beat and pretty easy to catch. 4 or 5 decent trainers can beat it easily. Focus Blast is the only tricky moveset since most trainers don't have optimal counters for FB (Gengar, Scizor another Mewtwo with Shadowball) and since FB crushes Tyranitar and Hounddog with a single shot. Our M2 raids in Bangkok are large with usually 50-60+ trainers and almost everyone catches it. Good Luck! ... most of the catches recently have been low to medium IV but hey it is a Mewtwo!!!
Gardevoir can be decent with Shadow Ball, but I feel like most people have Dazzling Gleam on their Gardevoir and not everyone has the luxury of having enough candies to power two of them.
OP doesn't have Lugia unfortunately, but DB/DC will be pretty good against non-Shadow Ball sets with the added bonus of dodge-ability and resisting Psychic-type moves, something that almost makes up for the lost in DPS from Dragonite/Salamence.
