Armored Mewtwo is coming to Pokémon GO this month

Get powered up

To promote the upcoming Pokémon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution — a remake of the 1998 Pokémon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back — Pokémon GO is getting powered up.

Niantic announced today that Armored Mewtwo will be coming to level five raids from the 10th to the 31st of July. It’s currently unknown how Armored Mewtwo will differ from a standard Mewtwo in GO, and whether or not it will retain the same moves and stats. There’s also some stylish new Mewtwo-themed clothes that will be available to purchase during the event for all those Mewtwo mega-fans to strut their stuff.

You can read the full details below.

Trainers,

Mewtwo returns…with a new look.

For a limited time, you can encounter this Psychic-type Pokémon in five-star raids.

Date + Time

Armored Mewtwo will appear in five-star raids from July 10 at 1:00 p.m. PDT to July 31 at 1 p.m. PDT
