The pokemon's strengths and weaknesses are canon and explicit. So fire will do extra damage to a steel type if it's hot enough. BUT a rock pokemon attacking, say, Surtur because I'm lazy, would not do additonal damage because Surtur is not fire type, he's just fiery. HOWEVER, a rock pokemon attacking a water elemental should do less damage. I think.
Ghosts outside pokemon should likewise still be immune to normal type moves, but it seems other sorts of moves can indeed harm incorporeal enemies. Etc.
Who knows? The games have no real canon concerning type immunities, and the anime forgets what types are half the time. That, and all of Mewtwo's feats come from the 1st Gen movies, where the Dark type didn't exist.
Regardless, Ganondorf has shown resistance to mental effects, and Mewtwo has never faced anyone with such resistance. I personally don't think mind rape will work here.

The resistances are canon. A Venasaur will be weak to any fire attack, as would Onix being hit by water.
It doesn't work the other way round though at the person taking the attack from the Pokemon doesn't have a weakness to that move. So a dark character wont take extra damage from Mega Horn, nor would a flying character take more from Rock Slide.

Mewtwo's TK is pretty crazy too. He fights like a minor Dragonball character.
The storm he created, dubbed the Whims of Water, is said to have the power to wipe out almost all life on the planet. There's something about a prophecy, it's weird.

Also, hilarious foreshadowing.
Ganondorf did a similar thing in Wind Waker, but he doesn't have the statements behind him.
