I always knew that the is no unbeatable pokemon, and the was a thread named "what is the strongest pokemon", I posted that there is no such thin as the strongest pokemon, everything has it's weakneses. But now I somehow starting to doubt that. I looked at Mewtwo stats and moveset, and it has everything. Probably the best movepool in the game and awsome stats to it. For it's """""low""""" uber defenses it has moves like Barrier, for defense and calm mind for special defense and special attack. Fof Attack Swords dance and for special attack calm mind. Recover for HP and it does not need anything for speed, 394 is more then enough to outrun 95% of all the pokemon in the game. It can go against anything!?
I know you can't put all those moves in his moveset, but you can always change it around depending on your opponent.

Do you agree?

Dark pokemon = dead mewtwo...thank you come again...so it would need something like Hyper beam (not so common on competitive mewtwo's, HB is like option C)...but it is quite impressive

lol, you think Mewtwo has everything?
Well, take a look at Arseus's stats! (Yeah, I know Arseus is a fourth generation pokemon, but still)

Anyway, Mewtwo does "have it all" or so you say. It has the stats, movepool, ect. to dominate in every battle, but that doesn't mean it can go against everything, or is indestructable, it isn't completey broken anymore.

No matter how you use it, Mewtwo will always some pokemon that can counter it, or wall it. Most Mewtwos are special sweepers, so pokemon such as Blissey or Regice or Defense form Deoxys can wall it due to their superior special defense. Then for the odd physical Mewtwo, high defense pokemon like Skarmory and Deoxys (defense form) can wall it. It just depends on what set it's using.

Also, Mewtwo is banned from almost every major competition, and is restricted to the uber metagame on NetBattle, so you either don't have to worry about facing it, or can use other ubers against it.

So Mewtwo does have absolutely godly base stats and a very wide movepool and whatnot, but that doens't neccassairily mean he's undefeatable or the 'best' pokemon, because there'll always be some pokemon that can stop him eventually. And what if he's being used by some n00b who doesn't know how to use him right? Then they'd pretty well be screwed. :p

No, Thats not what i meant. Read the bottom of my post. I said you can change it depending on your opponent (if you know who it is).


Aquarelle: I know Arseus has great stats, maybe strong enough to beat mewtwo, but we won't know for sure until D/P comes out in US.

Don't post.

Anyway, as Aquarelle said, Mewtwo's counters depend on the moveset. (i.e. sponges or Metagross for special variants, Skarm for physical variants, Deoxys-F for OHKO). Trust me, Mewtwo isn't unbeatable.

What about red version, when it first came out, What pokemon could beat him.
 
I don't know, but I've heard Parasect could when Red/Blue came out
 

Shock

<--- Teh kewl ghost!
lol parasect > mewtwo. about arseus, it completely depends on what plate it is holding. With a fighting/poison plate its clear whos the winner. But with a dark plate arseus has better chances. And in red/blue, Mewtwo was like almost completely unbeatable with Amnesia. 2* sp att and 2* sp def...

I donno, maybe, I never used one before.
Or maybe teach mewtwo a flamethrower. With 4x damage and mewtwo's unbeatable sp.a vs parasect's 284 sp.d + no speed. I feel sorry for those parasects > <

Mewtwo can b very strong if you no wht pokemon your oppent has to match his moveset to. If not a Simple Megahorn or Dark pokemon will have there way with mewtwo
 

Ash's Pika Pal

some have to let go
Mewtwo is awesome,but there are others that can be stronger. Actually, it all depends on a bunch of things,type,stats,ability etc...
