Mewtwo [1999-2000] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Mewtwo stands out as one of the original holo Psychic heavy-hitters, with Psychic punishing Energy-stacked foes and Barrier giving it a uniquely defensive, mind-game feel for the game’s very first set.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives Base Set Mewtwo a direct visual link to the earliest identity of the franchise.
In-Game
Mewtwo’s flavor text mirrors its original Red and Blue backstory, where players uncover records of horrific gene-splicing experiments before finally finding it as a secret postgame encounter.
Card History
For many collectors, this holo hits even harder because Mewtwo became the face of Pokémon: The First Movie, where it was presented as the franchise’s terrifyingly powerful breakout legend.
Cultural Impact
Mewtwo’s movie-era popularity was so massive that Pokémon: The First Movie opened at number one in the U.S., helping cement Mewtwo as one of the most culturally iconic legendary Pokémon of the entire WotC era.
