how to get mewtwo legends za

To get Mewtwo in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you need to unlock and clear the post‑game “Project M” side mission that becomes available after the main story, then confront and catch it in the labs beneath a café in Lumiose City. This involves using the Mystery Gift feature to claim special Mega Stones, which also tie into Mewtwo’s Mega Evolution once you’ve captured it.

Basic requirements

  • Complete the main story and see the end credits; Mewtwo only appears as part of post‑game content linked to “Project M.”
  • Have your game connected to the internet so you can receive a special distribution via the Mystery Gift menu.

Step 1: Use Mystery Gift

  • Open the in‑game menu and choose the Mystery Gift option, then select the setting that connects you online and downloads available gifts (such as “Get via Internet”).
  • Claim the distribution related to “Project M,” which grants the Mewtwonite items (X and Y) used for Mewtwo’s Mega Evolution and flags the special side mission in your save.

Step 2: Unlock Project M

  • After you’ve redeemed the gift and cleared the main scenario, a new high‑level side mission tied to “Project M” appears in your mission list or map markers.
  • This mission is explicitly labeled as an extra post‑game quest and is the intended route to both encountering Mewtwo and using its Mega forms in Legends: Z-A.

Step 3: Go to the correct location

  • Travel to Lumiose City and head to the designated café that hides the entrance to the old labs (often described as Lysandre/Lander/Lysandre‑type café in guides), located in the Magenta or similar sector of the city.
  • Use the elevator inside to descend to the lower basement floor marked for the Project M event (for example B3F), then follow the linear corridor into the lab control area.

Step 4: Trigger the Mewtwo event

  • In the lab’s computer/terminal room, you will be prompted to “release” or unlock Project M; accepting this prompt causes Mewtwo to appear in the facility.
  • An NPC (such as Mable) may call or speak to you to warn about the danger of fighting it, but the battle only starts when you approach and interact with Mewtwo itself.

Step 5: Battle and catch Mewtwo

  • Mewtwo appears at a high level (around level 70) and behaves like a traditional static Legendary encounter, so you have only one main chance to catch it in a standard playthrough.
  • Bring Dark‑type or specially bulky Pokémon, lots of Ultra Balls or your preferred specialty balls, and status moves (like Sleep or Paralysis) to make the fight and capture safer.

Step 6: Use its Mega forms

  • Once you’ve caught Mewtwo, you can equip Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y to unlock its Mega forms in supported battle modes, with each stone emphasizing different offensive stats.
  • Some online formats and ranked seasons specify how and where Mega Mewtwo can be used, so checking current rulesets is helpful if you plan to battle competitively.
