The developer of Pokémon Go, Scopely, announced the return via the game's website, informing players that the armored version will be available through five-star raids on September 5 and 6, local time. This marks the first appearance of Armored Mewtwo since before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The non-shiny variant of the Pokémon is available, but the shiny variant will not be part of this release. The event coincides with the end of Pokémon Go Fest.",
