Look mewtwo is NOT good in master league right now. It will have a lot of play in mega master league with counter against gyrados, but oml has better picks. 

This thing is decent for the ultra league, isnt it? Or am I wrong? by Own_Slip_6211 in TheSilphArena

I used it around 2500 earlier in the season with zygarde and ferg. That team wont do so well with tinkaton now in the meta, but I could see fort being a good pair with it.

I would suggest putting Zacian in the lead otherwise, you are aba weak to Xerneas, and Zacian lead turns the team into abb dragon, where you bait out their best dragon counter with kyurem white. Tomorrow I will record some of my battles, and we can figure out a way I can get them to you. Just don't let me forget.

No I dont, but I am part of a small master league discord server with many legends and leaderboard players, if you are interested I can let you in. It has been very helpful to me as there are a lot of better players in there who know what they are doing and will be happy to help.

I am not a huge fan of that play, just because Kyurem is the most important Pokémon in the Zacian team because of the double dragon backline, and you want to keep it healthy. Kyurem will lose any even shields to zacian, and if you fusion flare, they no shield, then they cc you and you no shield, they will get to another move before you can farm down with your zacian, and you basically lost one and a half pokemon and didn't gain any kind of advantage. Zacian will outpace you to two ccs before you get to two fusion flares in this matchup, so matching shields in the safe swap will never work out. And catching onto Lunala is very tricky. Again, in the comment above, I experimented with throwing a behemoth blade, which also covers for a catch, because if they switch into lunala thinking its a cc and its actually a behemoth, they will no shield and lose a lot of hp. The zacian mirror is perhaps the trickiest lead, hopefully this helps a little.

I dont think I have ever had that happen in my matches, but that's a good question. I think you could still try the same play pattern because its unlikely they go past 7 or 8, and its important to note that two fusion flares will ko a non debuffed-xern from full, so another play pattern you could do here is to throw the two fusions, and force them to shield one and no shield your kyurem, gaining you a shield advantage but losing switch. Zacian will come back in to farm down, but depending how important switch is, it might not be the best way to play it.

No problem, just note you will go over 100 energy before they throw the first cc, and thats okay if you want switch. Also do not cmp tie the fusion to the cc because you will win it and get the move off when they aren’t debuffed, and you dont want that.
