Anyone else sick of Mewtwo?

tomorrow will be my 5th Ex-raid, i heard the ex-raid passes for next week went out. sure mewtwo is strong but its a pain in the ass to power up and i think it's overrated since it best moves aren't even STAB related

Yes, I have one for noon tomorrow, skipping it. One for the 21st at 130 skipping. Caught and attended 11 of them, invited 17 times***I have sick days/hours that will expire if I don’t use them, but not gonna take them on a Monday or a Friday. Pick a different weekday on occasion

It being a legendary and Mewtwo specifically, it’s a good thing it’s not easy to bring up.

Top ten highest neutral dps in the game without STAB for Shadow Ball is nothing to scoff at. Without the 9% nerf back when, it would be actual broken. So

Got my 3rd EX Pass for 22nd May, I'm relieved it's not for 19th because I want to go to a different park for extra large spawns on CD. I already have a Mewtwo so win or lose, I'll participate. If it's better than my current one, I'll keep that one instead of this one. Good thing I didn't level him up yet. In fact, I haven't leveled up any of my legendaries. I put my resources in non-legends for solos.

I have also got 5 invites. Could't attend the first. Never got a mewtwo above 80% after 4 encounters. I haven't got a pass in the last 3 rounds despite battling in the selected gym in the last two. Not done yet with mewtwo, nope.

I’ve only made it to 1 of my last 3 invites. I’m not taking off work or missing a family event for it.

This will be #15 for me, but I still don't have any above 90% yet so I've got to change that. Luckily school will be out starting on the 21st :D

I think they should come up with a different EX boss. Mewtwo has been out for awhile now and many people have them. Regarding IVs, when the IV boosting items come out, there won’t be much point in trying to get one with higher IVs. I do think they should do something with the people in rural areas however, that can’t get him. Maybe through a special research IF you don’t already have him. But I think they should make the next one Deoxys. That way you would get a different form randomly and everyone can try to get all four forms. That would make more sense. Have a time limit (maybe 3-6 months) then switch to like Arceus. Something that is powerful but not necessary.

Can't say that I am. I finally got my very first EX raid invite today, unfortunately it's for a gym that I raided only once over 2000 miles away so that won't be happening.

This week will be my 8th, it's a free raid and there's the small chance to score a hundo so I don't mind them.

It's a very powerful pokemon like several other legendaries, them being hard to power up is a major balancing factor. With SB it's a great generalist that can go in many raid teams and basically handles everything in gyms that Machamp doesn't do so well against. I don't think it's overrated, my maxed out Mewtwo has seen a lot of use.

Sick not, even after 12 Mewtwo, but I bother less with chasing EX gyms. Even though I did raids at an EX gym this week and previous week, those gyms got surpassed by other EX gyms activity wise later in the week, I didn't bother to raid there and therefore didn't get an invite for the second week in a row.

I'm sick of EX raids. I'm sick of my town not having any EX eligible gyms. I've gotten 2 passes: one early in the test phase and one during the "accidental" EX wave to a gym I had spun once 100 miles away (I couldn't attend). I'm thrilled that I have my one 78% Mewtwo, but I have zero prospects of getting another. Remember me, the others in my town, and others in similar towns when you say that you're sick of Mewtwo.

I did not get my first EX pass until the end of January despite most casual players in my area getting several before me. I will not complain about getting more passes. Its a free raid pass. Its a great pokemon. Much better than the current latios/latias.

I would encourage you to still go if you can. For some it may be their first pass and they may need help beating it.

I have a feeling that the next pokemon event in Chicago will bring a new EX boss. I also think they will make a research quest for a Mewtwo so that everyone has a chance to get one.

Yes! I have 5 mewtwos and one is 15a15d14s so I dont think I will do any better. I have actually been avoiding ex gyms so i dont feel forced to do an ex raid at a certain time. Please change the ex raid boss!

Same account I’ve gotten 15 EX invites Jan 30th to May 21st. Total I have done 320 legendary raids and 215 regular raids, so not an extreme outlier in raids completed. I raid at some EX gyms to help convince others to show up early, also to roll my eyes when I hear of 18 cells and 20 cells and 17 cells—I have not the remotest clue what any of that means

I think the way mew was released avoided many of the problems with ex-raids, and would be a good way to handle the release of extra special mons, in the future. Everyone gets one, and no one gets summoned to a crucial event that may, or may not be convenient for them.

As to multiple raids, I'm used to raiding the same legendary for a month, or so, to try to cull the best ones. By the end of the month, I'm usually kind of bored with the current legendary and am raiding more to meet friends, chat, etc than to catch yet another of the same boss.

Ex-raids are the same way, the thrill wears off over time. I'll still go , if I can, but I don't care as much as I used to.

I have had only 3 invites, 2 of which I could go. I only caught the first one, because I used pinaps for the first 5 balls on my second one.

But I don't care, 1 Mewtwo is enough for me anyway. It's currently at L35 with PC/SB. For now, it's just a filler for the 6th slot in Latios now. It has helped me solo Alakazam (PC/FB) though.

I mean thats for neutral dps which doesn't really matter in current raid system where specialist matter.If the mewtwo was facing say lugia ya SB is best because of weakness but say against a machamp STAB Psychic actually pulls ahead.

I use my shadow ball Mewtwo alongside my 28 lvl Psychic one for Machamp and the current event lvl 3 raids. Not everyone has a 6 man team for every raid yet and it has many good uses outside of that (namely all psychic bosses and gengar). Personally I use it on Pinsir and Granbul (only have research tasks Moltres). Pretty sure other raids too.
