You can use two different just like you can use two different for 2a. It just looks cooler when you got a pair and most likely they play the same so they don’t move differently. If you want to make tricks that plays to having different yoyo’s that would be cool too.

Really?

in 2A its very important to have 2 of the same yoyos, this helps to ensure equal balance and flip during loops, and in wraps and other such maneuvers, its vital to have 2 of the same yoyos.

As for 3A, Its technically ok to use two different yoyos, but I would not recommend it. When you are using 2 of something to manipulate into different segments, you would want the yoyos to have the same weight, size, feel during spin, etc.

I don’t recommend using two different throws unless they are very similar.
