When Mega Mewtwo X is the better pick
Dynamic Punch+ is a Fighting move, so Mega Mewtwo X shines against bosses weak to Fighting. For example, it tops GO Hub’s counters for Crowned Shield Zamazenta. For Psychic damage, or when you want one Mega that does a bit of everything, Mega Mewtwo Y is the one.
Matt's takeMega Mewtwo Y is the pick. Go for X only if you specifically want a Fighting-type Mega Mewtwo for your team.
