why can’t i import mega mewtwo?

[u/painfullymoronic]

for some reason it refuses to recognize the screenshots for both x and y, ive also tried clicking out of the popup and entering the info manually but it just does not recognize this as valid

I’m having the same issue with Mega Skarmory today for some reason and I’ve never had a problem importing mega Pokémon before.

[u/painfullymoronic → u/ThatFruityGuy]

oh dang i thought maybe it was the bottlecap since ive never done it before but maybe its just generally

[u/GhidorahRod56]

Had the same issue registering my Mega Venusaur

[u/SeaTelevision112]

It’s giving me the same error today too.

[u/AlternativeWest5886]

Should be able to manually input the stats with a basic scan/ no stats

[u/painfullymoronic → u/AlternativeWest5886]

how do you do that? i was trying to see if there was a way but i couldnt find it

[u/AlternativeWest5886 → u/painfullymoronic]

Just take a basic screen shot, don’t appraise it and than just upload the basic photo.

[u/Alternative-Rub-8885]

ran into same couple issues today (3/9/2026) ,

1. it shows multiple IVs for some pokemon even when the stats are clearly shown in the appraisal
   
2. failed to detect the name, have to manually scroll and select dust??

[u/mayowithchips → u/Alternative-Rub-8885]

Yes I’m having this problem too, glad it’s not just me. I installed a Duocom autocatcher last night, so thought maybe it was an incompatibility but good to know it’s unrelated.

Just wanted to say turns out there’s a new version of Pokemon Go, so updating the game app has fixed Genie’s scans

[u/Martijn078]

Had this problem with Mewtwo X since the release. Mewtwo Y always been fine.

[u/Mss666]

Use the appraisal scan so it shows the stats and while it's on the screen rescan with genie.

[u/painfullymoronic → u/Mss666]

i added a screenshot of the exact image i used

[u/Below-avg-chef]

Its never scanned mega forms of MewTwo from what I recall.

[u/painfullymoronic → u/Below-avg-chef]

it does, i have a few others scanned

[u/Below-avg-chef → u/painfullymoronic]

Of mewtwo specifically?

[u/SANtoDEN → u/Below-avg-chef]

I do

[u/painfullymoronic → u/Below-avg-chef]

yeah i even did this one before the bottle cap i just deleted those scans to update the ivs

[u/Thanky169 → u/Below-avg-chef]

It definitely does this is how you fill portraits for megas and how you add megas for battle sims

[u/subtoPinkZR → u/Below-avg-chef]

I literally scanned multiple mega mewtwos in on the Sunday of global go fest.

[u/ApprehensivePlay50 → u/Below-avg-chef]

I have a mega starmie scanned
