Pokémon Go’s revenue bounced back after a slump, and it’s all thanks to Mewtwo

Pokémon Go’s revenue shot up slightly last month after slumping to the lowest it had been in five years—and having Shadow Mewtwo headline the Rising Shadows event was a big part of that. It’s the strongest Pokémon in the game, and players lined up to purchase the Special Research ticket required to catch it.

The amount it generated went up from $34 million in April to $39.1 million in May, according to a report from MobileGamer.biz on June 7. It was still lower than the $50 million it averaged in 2022, but it was a step in the right direction that went against the grain.
