No other Pokémon is as almighty, invincible, immortal, and all-powerful as Mewtwo from the Pokémon series. Equipped with his sheer psychic abilities, Mewtwo can control whoever he wants and whatever he wants... including the Earth's weather. Seen as a goꦉd more than a Pokémon (sorry, Arceus, we'll get to you later), Mewtwo continu♛es to reign among all other Pokémon and mankind below him.

He's a mighty creature to be up against in a battle, much more so the Generatℱion 1 version of him. In recent additions, his two Mega Evolutions put him among the fastest and strongest Pokémon, sending his base stats to tie with the highest of all Pokémon. Mewtwo alone has taken on the most powerful of legendaries, and could easily take and defeat a whole lot of others, including Arceus and Mew.

Not convinced of Mewtwo's overwhelming power? Think aga🔯in, his psychic abilities are virtually unopposed, leaving many Pokémon to fear him and to avoid all possible interaction with him. Many have attempted to capture, train and even abuse Mewtwo, but alas it remains an impossibility in the Pokémon lore. Upon researching the ends of the internet, the games, and movies that belong to the Pokémon universe. Here at TheGamer we've found a total of 26 things that make Mewtwo too powerful as a Pokémon.

26 🍌 The Invi𓃲ncible Mewtwo

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow introduced us to the very first 1📖51 Pokémon. As we embarked on the adventure that brought us out of Pallet Town and into the Pokémon-filled wilds of the Kanto Region, we saw a number of powerful foes. However, no one or nothing stood more in a Pokémon trainer's way than the all-powerful Mewtwo. Most of you might be shrugging his overrating, but I assure you all that Generation 1 Mewtwo was a force to be reckoned with. As one internet user highlights, "There was Mewtwo and then there was everything else."

For starters, Mewtwo can create his own Master Balls.

Mewtwo had no weaknesses, and if you managed to hurt him he would recover on his next move. Not only did he have a special ability that drastically raised his attack and defense, but his speed was seldom matched in the game. Trainers have toppled Kanto's Elite 4 with nothing but a freshly caught Mew𓂃two, with no items and no supplements. Not to mention, that unlike the succeeding generations, Psychic types were completely immune to Ghost-types. Even the fastest and most powerful of Ghost-types like Gengar barely stood a chance. As we know it, there isn't a single Pokémon that is more powerful 🐟than Generation 1, Mewtwo.

25 ൲ A Genetic Copy

If you've watched the very first Pokémon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back, you know how Mewtwo was created. Compared to the actual video game where a p𝔍regnant Mew gave birth to Mewtwo in Guyana, Mewtwo was created using the fossilized DNA of Mew according to the animated movie. Team Rocket's Giovanni decided to fund a scientific experiment where a man by the name of Dr. Fuji would attempt tꦆo clone a living and more powerful replica of Mew. Dr. Fuji used both human DNA and that of Mew's to attempt at creating a better copy of Mewtwo.

Using an eyelash, Mewtwo was cloned from Mew.

The Mewtwo experiment turned to be a success. However, Mewtwo was vicious. Being copied from the DNA of the most powerful Pokémon in an inhumane process only to be used as some tool definitely turn you into a weapon. Mewtwo proce🌸eds to destroy the entire lab and most likely everyone within it. The scary part is that he hadn't even tested his power. Whether Mewtwo turned insane from the cloning process or whether he was just fr🦩ustrated is indifferent when having realized his destructive potential. Not only that, Mewtwo decided to fly off, away from labs, away from Giovanni on an endeavor to reign terror and rule the world. If the story hadn't played out like it did, it's highly possible that Mewtwo would have been successful in his attempt.

24 💜 🎃It's Over 780!

Mewtwo possessed the highest base stat in the Pokémon univer💯se for quite some time. In his original form, Mewtwo has a base stat of 680 with ferociously high speed and attack stats. But alas, the introduction of Mega Pokémon have dethroned Mewtwo to spot number #16, with 15 other Pokémon right ahead of it. It should be noted that most of these Pokémon, if not, technically all of them are Mega Evolutions. If Mewtwo Mega-evolves into one of its forms i♈t takes back its well-deserved throne as the most powerful Pokémon (tied with Mega Rayquaza) with a base stat of 780! That's insane for a Pokémon.

Charizard, the fan-favorite Pokémon to have stood up to Entei, Articuno, and even a Blastoise has a base stat of 534, with his Mega-Evolutions reaching a base stat totaling 634. Not even Mew has a higher baseܫ stat than Mega Mewtwo, let alone the original Mewtwo with a base stat of only 600. It's safe to say that not only was Mewtwo succe🧔ssful in becoming the universe's most powerful Pokémon, he became stronger than the Pokémon of whom he was primarily based off, and that's just his original form. Mewtwo X or Y could easily do what they wanted to, given their extreme speed, strength, and above all, intelligence.

23 ꦫ Pokken Tournament Banishment

Remember that fighting game Tekken? Although much less famous, Nintendo released a similar game called Pokken Tournament, involving a number of strong Pokémon such as Lucario, Machamp, Pikachu, Suicune, and Gardevoir. The Pokémon all have special moves, finishing moves, weight, and even health bars in the upper corners. I'🎃ll be honest, it was a bit of a fruit salad of a game when I first saw the trailer 3 years ago.

Alas, the game scored high, combining both a unique genre to a much popular series.

That said, Mewtwo is also a character in this game, yet he's extremely powerful. He's even the final boss, or at least a version of him known as Shadow Mewtwo is. Once you beat the main storyl🦩ine, you'll be able to play as Shadow Mewtwo. Thing is, he's considered quite overpowered by even the best of players. According to some players, Shadow Mew🌊two has been banned in local tournaments. People have attempted to ban players who use Shadow Mewtwo's "infinite" move which completely crushes an opponent or even giving the win to the victim of the move. You'd think that in a knockoff game like Pokken, somehow Mewtwo would be defeatable, yet trainers of all the likes will always have difficulty in defeating Mewtwo.

22 🔜 Mewtwo Defeated Shadow The ꧒Hedgehog...

If you've never seen ScrewAttack, you probably should. They take fictional characters from across various universes and put them face to face in an ultimate showdown. Wiz and Boomstick are the series' hosts and throughout a long video, they evaluate the two characters to best decide who would win in an actual battle. Think about it as Deadliest Warrior for video games, television, movies, anime and everything else pop culture. Like Mewtwo, Dr. Eggman created Shadow as an ultimate lifeform. The only difference was in their purpose, Shadow was created to achieve immortality while Mewtwo was created to achieve ulti🌠mate power.

Like I mentioned, ScrewAttack decided to put these two powerful man-made creatures face-to-face to see who would actually win. Hint: Mewtwo wins. Shadow, though, isn't weak... Shadow is very fast, even faster than Sonic depending on who you ask. When he has access to the Chaos Emeralds, he becomes essentially invincible, not to mention that he can bend space and time in his liking. But the fact remains, Mewtwo overcame him. If Mewt♈wo can defeat the ultimate life form, then what does that make Mewtwo? I'm not too sure what Mewtwꦿo would be called upon defeating Shadow, but truth be told, I guess when you defeat Shadow the Hedgehog nothing really else stands in your way at that point.

21 He's Lost

Mewtwo i🌱s a tragic character. Although most of him can see him as an intense guy who can take on ultimately anybody or anything that has the misfortune of ever meeting Mewtwo. Like I've already highlighted before, Mewtwo is vicious and fierce. But have we really ever asked ourselves why? I mean, being created to be used as nothing but a tool would upset you, and if you have the power to destroy the people that would do such a thing, I suppose you'd have the right to be angry. But for some reason, I found it way too brash for a creature of such high intellectual capacity to do such a thing. If we look further into the movie, you'll see that Dr. Fuji, the man who created Mewtwo, had a daughter who had unfortunately passed, named Amber.

While he was creating him, Mewtwo and Amber had a psychic connection that enabled both of them to telepathically communicate with each other.

Mewtwo was a deeply emotional creature, thinking that the mental presence of Amber was too traumatizing for Mewtwo, Dr. Fuji erased Mewtwo's memory of her. Th🌃is led Mewtwo to feel lost, sad, without a sense of purpose, and especially without a friend. Mewtwo is already powerful, yet his emotions definitely made him stronger and more forceful than he needed to be. We know how the rest went.

20 Mewt💛wo, The Tier A Player ༒

The re-addition of Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros. 4 was indeed a good time for both Pokémon, with its release of Pokémon X and Y, and Super Smash Bros. with its fourth installment. Thanks to his strong fan base, nostalgia from Melee, preference over Lucario, and overall awesomeness, Nintendo decided to bring back the beloved Mewtwo. Don't get me wrong, when I first saw his release trailer I was a bit skeptical. I loved playing as Mewtwo in Melee, but he was a slow, heavy, and tough character to master. However, equipped with a fresh new look, stats, and m𒈔oves, Mewtwo delivered.

A quick look will let you know that Mewtwo is up there in Tier A; the second best Tier after S. He's right up there alongside Mario, Fox, Sonic, Ryu, Sheik, and even the goddess-like Rosalina. He's much faster and has a large range of motion, capable of hitting foes all around. His attacks are powerful and he packs quite a punch if you get too close to him. Other than his hitbox being larger than most, making him more vulnerable, he's a great character to play as. He's even used by professional player Mew2, who's known for using Mewtwo's powerful down+A move, kicking players to the bottom of the stage upon trying to get back up. Not only in Pokémon, but in Super Smash Bros. does he also make a powerful display.

19 ꧟ Only MissingNo Can Match His Power

Nothing gets truly weirder than MissingNo when it comes to Pokémon. If you don't know about this weird glitch thing, MissingNo is a Pokémon of sorts that you can find in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow after performing a certain series of glit🌞ches. How these players found it, I have no idea. It shares Nidoran's cry and five various forms. It's a Bird/Normal Type with a "???" category. Nintendo's statement on this is that MissingNo is nothing but a glitch and that players should avoid it if they want to hold onto their save files.

That said, MissingNo is the only Pokémon or glitch that can truly stand up to the all-powerful Generation 1 Mewtwo.

MissingNo can multiply items in your bags, that is, if he doesn't mess up your game. MissingNo can spawn various highly-leveled Pokémon just randomly and according to some theorists, it can destroy the world, just like it can destroy your save files. Someti💎mes it can even evolve into a Kangaskhan if it feels like it, but changes its name into just, "M." With the ability of randomly spawning powerful Pokémon, multiplying your items (including Master Balls) and even crashing your game if it wants to, I believe Mewtwo may have found its match. If you're watching this and a good animator, please make an animated fight scene between Mewtwo and .

18 ✤ Mewtwo Biology 🐈

Mewtwo's ripped. Mega Mewtwo X is even more ripped, not to mention he's 7ft2, weighing at 275 pounds. Mewtwo is almost all muscle with really strong bones to back up the strength. He's bioengineered to be the most powerful Pokémon, after all. He's a perfect combination of brain and brawn, being capable of reading and wiping people's minds while easily defeating a variety of tough Pokémon, including Articuno and Gyarados. It is said that Mewtwo's genome is loosely based on that of Alakazam's which makes sense if we look at Mewtwo's twin bone crests🅘, his torso, and his three-point grip.

Mewtwo even has a brain within the tip of its tail, which's exterior can be seen as the giant bulb at the end. He once used his tail to crush Mew into the earth. It's said that Mewtwo's skull is lined with electro-receptive pores. Psyduck has the same biology but is obviously much less powerful. This is what allows Mewtwo to read and wipe people's minds with ease while manipulating the gravity around him. Mew𝓰two doesn't need to eat or drink nutrients, either, making him a biologically immortal creature. Lastly, his brain to body ratio is 50:1, which I will get more into later on. What I'm getting from all this is that Dr. Fuji was really going all out when wanting to make the perfect .

17 ⛦ Mewtwo Controls The Weather

Remember when Mewtwo was seen sitting on his throne? You could more or less actually see Mewtwo, but what you really could see were his pronged hands moving in such a way that mimicked the stirring of a glass in a very nonchalant way. He starred out🌠 into the sky and as he moved his hands, the clouds started to move and the sky turned quickly grey. Mewtwo used his insane psychic abilities to control the 💟weather. Not even we, as humans, have developed the necessary technology to control the weather.

Yet Mewtwo does it with nothing but a wave of his hand.

What people also don't notice was that he was controlling the weather on a global scale, as trainers came from all over, given that the storm he created served as a test for trainers all over. The only other Pokémon to do something anything remotely similar is Castform, who only changes shape and form based on what the weather is. Yeah, not quite the same thing. If anyone wanted to get close to Mewtwo, Mewtwo could easily conjure up a storm, a blizzard, a tornado, whatever like he did in the First Movie. If 💮a Pokémon could control the weather, then what﷽ else is there to control or master? Like I said before, Dr. Fuji knew what he was doing when wanting to create the ultimate Pokémon... maybe too well.
