About the Pokémon
Mewtwo is the Genetic Pokémon, recorded as No. 150 in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation I, associated with the Kanto generation of games. Its origins are tied to artificial genetic engineering. Its status as a Legendary Pokémon is part of its wider franchise identity.
About the Expansion
Released in Japan on 20 October 1996, Expansion Pack established the Pokémon Trading Card Game alongside its starter product. Its Kanto Pokémon, Trainer cards and Energy cards introduced the game's foundational structure. The original Japanese Pocket Monsters card back places these cards at the beginning of the TCG's collecting history.
