Is Mewtwo given such shit abilities to 'balance' it?

>Pressure
>Unnerve (Hidden)
>Steadfast (X)
>Insomnia (Y)

not that it matters, but couldn't they have given the mega evolutions more...relevant abilities?

Insomnia is decent
Steadfast is crap usually, but blocks Fake Out which can be surprisingly nice
Unnerve is shit
Pressure is good but not really on him.

Can you imagine Mewtwo Y with something like Adaptability or Magic Guard? It'd be insane enough to even unbalance Ubers.

Tbh it probably is for balance. Fucker has a better BST than Arceus.
Yep, Mega Mewtwo, created by man, has surpassed God.

Even then, what other ability would suit Mewtwo? Pressure and Unnerve make sense (it's fucking Mewtwo, would be terrifying to face as a Pokemon) and Steadfast/Inner Focus are a given for most Psychic types. The only other ability that would is Levitate for Mewtwo Y but it's not even necessary.

Unlike Alakazam he doesn't have that outward psychic power that would be used for magic bounce.

I think its pointless to balance an Uber. Theyre supposed to be overpowered playthings for children. Most sensible players dont use them.

Mega Mewtwo is an anomaly that was never intended by Fuji, and it still doesn't even come close to Arceus lore-wise.

As someone who really likes Mewtwo...what more do you want?

They gave him the highest BST in the first gen, and then when power creep kicked in and other Pokemon started getting higher BSTs, when they reintroduce him into the game, they give him a way to get a higher total than anything in existence.

They once again made good on that one line from the first movie "We dreamed of creating the world's most powerful Pokemon...and we succeeded."

Mewtwo needs to be good enough that he's above everything else, but not SO far above that tournaments ban him and ONLY him, like what was starting to go down in Gen 1. You can't throw some insane ability on top of the movepool and stats he's already got - Insominia's enough!

Mewtwo SHOULDN'T be good enough that it's above everything else, because absolutely justifies it being that powerful. It's not the creator of reality. It's not the god of time. It's not the primordial master of the oceans. It's not death-incarnate. It's just a lab experiment that made a mess and went on to become a cave dweller. Times have drastically changed, and that line about being the most powerful was born out of ignorance of the larger Pokemon world.

Mark my words, there will be a Mega Arceus just for that.
To get around the lack of plates, its ability will make all damage it takes and deals untyped.

Do you even 1000-armed eldritch abomination that wrote the laws of physics dictating everything we see and feel?

Mold Breaker, Trace.

I don't understand this; Mewtwo can utterly curbstomp Alakazam, and in the anime, it WRECKED Gary's Alakazam with no effort.

Or just Protean.

Insomia is pretty good to counter Dark Void
