Now everyone knows Gen 1 Mewtwo is the most broken Pokemon ever. Yet its pure power is if anything, underestimated.

Mewtwo in Gen 2 and beyond has a base stat total of 680, which puts it among other “mascot legendaries.” But since Special Attack and Defense are one stat in Gen 1, that gives Mewtwo a base of….. 744, more than Arceus and most legendary mega evolutions. And it goes against Gen 1 softies with ZERO hard counters.
