Self-destruct Mewtwo is viable in gen 4. Here’s a moveset you can copy.
Mewtwo @ life orbEVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 SpeNaive nature- ice beam- aura sphere- fire blast- self-destruct

4 Atk Life Orb Mewtwo Self-Destruct vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Kyogre: 221-260 (64.8 - 76.2%) – guaranteed 2HKO252 SpA Life Orb Mewtwo Psystrike vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Kyogre: 263-309 (77.1 - 90.6%) – guaranteed 2HKO
Additionally, now that shadow Calyrex exists, all Mewtwo sets are probably outclassed by shadow Calyrex.sourcesource
