''Mewtwo's Final Smash starts as Mewtwo Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y. It then fires a huge psychic projectile that penetrates enemies and obstacles. This projectile doesn't do any damage, but it freezes every foe it hits in place. They can even be frozen midjump! Afterward, every foe hit with the projectile will take a powerful psychic hit to the head.'' | |||

Mega Mewtwo Y is one of Mewtwo's two possible {{s|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}}s, which is achievable when it is holding a {{s|bulbapedia|Mewtwonite Y}}.

Unlike most Mega Evolutions (including Mega Mewtwo X), Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller than its normal form instead of being on par or larger than its normal form. Although this is reflected in Mega Mewtwo Y's Defense {{s|bulbapedia|statistic}} noticeably decreasing, the remainder of its stats gain tremendous increases. | ||
Although the Mewtwo in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is primarily based on [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (original series)|the Mewtwo]] from [[bulbapedia:M01|the first Pokémon movie]], Mega Mewtwo Y debuted as an alternate form for [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)|a different Mewtwo]] from [[bulbapedia:M16|the sixteenth movie]] | Although the Mewtwo in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is primarily based on [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (original series)|the Mewtwo]] from [[bulbapedia:M01|the first Pokémon movie]], Mega Mewtwo Y debuted as an alternate form for [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)|a different Mewtwo]] from [[bulbapedia:M16|the sixteenth movie]]. | ||
{{ | {{s|bulbapedia|Psystrike|move}} is Mewtwo's {{s|bulbapedia|signature move}} and among the strongest {{s|bulbapedia|Psychic}}-Type moves; it debuted in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation V}}, and can be learned at {{s|bulbapedia|level}} 100 or via {{s|bulbapedia|Move Relearner}}. Due to essentially being a more powerful version of {{s|bulbapedia|Psyshock|move}}, Psystrike uses the target's physical Defense stat when calculating damage in spite of being a special category move. | ||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *Despite Psystrike being Mewtwo's signature move, it was introduced in Generation V, in which Mewtwo could not be obtained except by trade, Poké Transfer, or Nintendo events. | ||
* | *Psystrike and [[Volt Tackle]] are the only Final Smashes from the ''Pokémon'' series that have the names of actual moves from the series, excluding [[Triple Finish]]'s usage of three canonical moves and [[Max Malicious Moonsault]] taking most of its name from the Z-Move Malicious Moonsault. | ||
*Mewtwo unleashes a barely audible cry that is obscured by the sound the Final Smash makes. The cry can be heard clearer if sound effects are set to mute from the options menu or from Mewtwo's sound test. | |||
*Although | *Although Psystrike is depicted in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series as an energy sphere that targets the opponent's mind, it was originally depicted in the ''Pokémon'' series as a plethora of shards made out of energy that targeted the opponent's body. As of Generation VII, Psystrike's depiction in the ''Pokémon'' series heavily resembles its depiction in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, albeit with the energy sphere exploding on contact with the opponent's body, instead of targeting their mind. | ||
