Where to find it

• Gift (Lv. 95): Indigo Plateau slope — Mewtwo’s barrier scene.

  After Mewtwo breaks the Indigo Plateau barrier and you win the Multi Battle beside it, accept its gift with a free party slot. Take it before entering the final Elite Four challenge: the final Hall of Fame removes it permanently. Quest guide.

Held-item forms

• Mewtwo holding Steel Armor becomes Armored Mewtwo. No nature requirement.

These are held-item transformations, not permanent evolutions. Removing the required item returns the Pokémon to its base form.

See the quest guide: Indigo Plateau slope (final chapter): Steven's and Cynthia's confessions.
