Obviously, Shadow Mewtwo is going to be here soon (and is for some people already!). I've tried to find a good guide, and haven't had much luck.

As someone that's never done anything harder than a 4 star mega raid, I'm excited and nervous. My husband and I are going out to join a local group, hoping to run the raid multiple times.

With that said..

What's the 'best' way to beat Shadow Mewtwo?

How many people does it actually take?

What are the 'best' pokemon to take (Types are: Dark, ghost, bug, right?)

Does dodging matter?

Do shadow gems?

Is there a way to find the 'best' Mewtwo before we fight him?

Thank you for any feedback, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
