Mewtwo is a strong wallbreaker able to shut down most classic defensive cores. However, it can have a hard time coming on the field and setting up a Nasty Plot because of its low bulk and the irreversible chip damage it will take from hazards and Life Orb. Yveltal is thus a good partner for Nasty Plot Mewtwo because it can use U-turn on several defensive Pokemon to bring Mewtwo in and give him a free setup turn. Examples are things like Eternatus, Defensive Xerneas, Ferrothorn, Blissey… Yveltal is also extremely good at checking Calyrex Shadow who is one the prime revenge killer of Mewtwo, being faster and getting an OHKO with Astral Barrage. Lastly, Mewtwo appreciate Yveltal’s ability to Defog away hazards so that it can come without taking annoying and unhealable chip.
In return, Mewtwo can pressure Eternatus with Psystrike and opposing Yveltal with +2 Ice Beam, which are two Pokemon extremely annoying for your own Yveltal.
