[SET COMMENTS]
Mega Mewtwo X is a very strong mixed wallbreaker. With Magic Guard, Mega Mewtwo X can use powerful Life Orb-boosted attacks while ignoring the recoil that normally comes with these moves. Lumina Crash allows Mega Mewtwo X to pressure Ice Scales users that don't mind High Jump Kick, like Arceus-Fairy and Ho-Oh, eventually forcing them out through consecutive Special Defense drops. Astral Barrage allows Mega Mewtwo X to beat opposing Ghost-types like Lunala and Giratina more easily. Alternatively, Chloroblast provides Mega Mewtwo X with a way to beat Fur Coat users that can switch into High Jump Kick, like Groudon, Mega Slowbro, and Dondozo. Strength Sap, combined with Magic Guard, gives Mega Mewtwo X good staying power, allowing it to heal from chip damage that accumulates throughout a game. Chloroblast can also be used over Strength Sap, which trades longevity for greater coverage. Mega Mewtwo X appreciates Knock Off support from teammates to remove Covert Cloak from opposing special walls like Ho-Oh and Arceus formes, making them vulnerable to Lumina Crash. Mega Mewtwo X is weak to Extreme Speed from the likes of Pixilate Mega Diancie and Aerilate Rayquaza, so it appreciates teammates that can switch into these moves, such as Arceus-Poison and Mega Steelix. Magic Guard Mega Mewtwo X can be Imposter-proofed by Fur Coat Yveltal, Ice Scales + Covert Cloak Arceus-Fairy, and Fur Coat + Covert Cloak Miraidon.
