How to Get Shiny Mewtwo in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee

1 MethodThe only route here is Soft Reset at full boosts, about 1 in 1,366 on each try. Tune it below.
Soft Reset: Save in front of a static, gift, or legendary encounter, then reset until it sparkles.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 144 |
| 25%one in four | 393 |
| 50%coin flip | 947 |
| 90%very likely | 3,145 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.
Curious how fast a hunt could go? Work out your Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee shiny odds for Mewtwo.

Let's Go Mewtwo Best Moveset
Two Mega forms, both extreme. Mega Mewtwo Y reaches 194 Sp. Atk at 140 Speed, the highest special stat in the entire game. Mega Mewtwo X adds Fighting typing at 190 Attack on the physical side. Without a Mega, 154 Sp. Atk at 130 Speed already makes the moveset the strongest special attacker by raw numbers. Everything about Mewtwo is excessive.
Best Build
Mewtwo Candy
Smart Candy+SPAMild raises Sp. Atk and lowers Defense. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Blue, then Yellow. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
