Mewtwo had been the standard EX Raid boss, until it was replaced by Deoxys this year. While Mewtwo is available in standard five star raids, this Raid Hour would have the opportunity to catch a Shiny Mewtwo. This Mewtwo would also know the move Psystrike, which would make this Raid Hour Mewtwo especially powerful.

After issues in some regions for the Legendary Raid Hour, Niantic quickly decided to pull the plug on the event. They extended the Raid Hour for those affected, but many players had already left.
That still isn't an hour. It's 40 minutes. And all the raiders have gone home as it's almost an hour and a half late. Why bother with a legendary raid 40 Minutes at all. Redo it tommorow!

It unknown if the affected region will have another attempt at the Raid hour when everything gets settled. In the mean time, you can still find counters for Mewtwo in normal raids for when the event comes back. Why not give the new Hydreigon a try?
