Well, in Mewtwo Profile this appears:

Regenerationn (Low-Mid; Could regenerate from Deoxys-induced chest wounds that looked fatal, and was stated to have restarted its vitals while incubating as a "child" in the radio drama).

The first part is fine, but the second isn't.

The first thing that I need to talk is about "incubating as a 'child'". Mewtwo isn't a Child when that thing happened. This is from chapter four (The Birth of Mewtwo: Episode IV The World's Strongest Pokemon) and Mewtwo is already a "adult" when this happen, it isn't even inside the Glass Tube as is said with the "incubating" thing. So this is false.

Anyway, in fact Mewtwo uses Recover when he the Automatic Security System.

Here is the scene:

  • Researcher: This can't be...Mewtwo is rapidly developing!
  • Computer: (Alarm sound is heard) Danger! Will begin automatic security system. Will attack Mewtwo.
  • Dr. Fuji: No!
  • Computer: (Shoots and kills Mewtwo. Life pulse goes flat) Mewtwo's life responses have diminished.
  • Dr. Fuji: What have you done?!
  • Researcher: Please wait! Mewtwo is...
  • Dr. Fuji: What?
  • Computer: Mewtwo's life responses are back. Mewtwo is using Self-Regenerationn now.
  • Dr. Fuji: Self-Regenerationn? Splendid!
    • Note the japanese name of Recover is Self-Regenerationn (ÒüÿÒüôÒüòÒüäÒüøÒüä).
So, I think that we can remove the " and was stated to have restarted its vitals while incubating as a "child" in the radio drama" and change to "While attacked by a Computer Security Sytem and killed, used Recover to regenerate itself".

Anyway, this sounds more as Resurrection than Regenerationn, since Mewtwo was killed and with no life responses.

So maybe some type of Passive Resurrection and Regenerationn when killed ? I meam, Mewtwo don't only resurrected, but also regenerated from the wounds of the attack.
 
Low Mid is enough to evade death via regenerating, considering that Low Mid is literally the capacity to regenerate from fatal wounds
 
It says it's Regenerationn and even names the technique which is Recover. So why is it passive ressurection and passive Regenerationn? wouldn't this be applied to everyone who can learn recover lol.
 
This is something only of Mewtwo, throughout the story it is made clear that although the attacks are the same as the other Pokémon, Mewtwo's powers are on a completely different level.

  • Dr. Fuji: (Narrating) Psychic powers, binding powers, psychokinesis...there are many pokemon which have these powers. But the psychic powers emitted by Mewtwo are so strong beyond range.
  • Dr. Fuji: (Narrating) Mewtwo's powers were stronger than anyone had imagined. The whole research laboratory was blown away.
  • Sakaki: The Rocket Gang's ultimate weapon, Mewtwo's power was incredible. --Mewtwo, I'm going to take off your chains, and your armor! Show them [pokemon] your powers! Psychic powers! Bind them! Speed Star! Psychokinesis! (All pokemon opponents are defeated)
  • Sakaki: (To himself) Mewtwo's powers are splendid. Mewtwo's various techniques were incredibly strong. I might be able to take over the world with just this one. (Wave sounds end)
And anyway, the name of the technique does not matter more than what was shown to happen. Mewtwo died, and then came back to life using Regenerationn. It is passive because it is not something that Mewtwo had to activate by his own volition, is part of the set of "Immortal Vital Force" that Mewtwo and Mew have, and as soon as Mewtwo dies he was able to return to life and recover from the attack (At least under the conditions in which they could be observed).

Although I do not really like the proposed difference, something that separates Regenerationn and Resurrection in this Wikia is whether the character died or not, if Mewtwo died during the attack and returned to life, this already validity Resurrection. After returning to life (which is shown by the returning vital signs) Mewtwo regenerated.

This is because the technique for Mewtwo is both Resurrection and Regenerationn.
