How to Get Mewtwo in Pokémon Games
Mewtwo is a powerful, one-of-a-kind Psychic Pokémon. It debuted in "Pokémon: The First Movie" in 1999 and has appeared in several games, most often as a boss or cameo. Mewtwo can be captured in Pokémons Red, Blue and Yellow (Game Boy), as well as FireRed and LeafGreen (Game Boy Advance). There is only one Mewtwo in each game, so if you miss your chance to capture it, you will not get a second try.

Tips & Warnings
The technique for capturing Mewtwo is the same in the older games (Red, Blue and Yellow) as the newer games (LeafGreen, FireRed), though the appearance and population of the secret cave outside Cerulean City is different.
There are many strong, wild Pokémon in the cave maze, but you are not required to battle them to reach the end of the maze, where Mewtwo is located.
Regular Poké Balls will not capture Mewtwo, regardless of how low its hit points are. According to IGN, Ultra Balls can be used, but this is risky; the only sure way to capture Mewtwo is with a Master Ball.
