Strategy Overview

Mew's well-rounded stats and almost unmatched movepool mean it can fulfill almost any role its team requires it to. While its stats are nothing to scoff at, they're not particularly noteworthy either, leaving it in the shadow of at least one Pokemon in any given role it wishes to fill. Mewtwo in particular is a direct upgrade in most cases. However, one can use both on offensive teams because Species Clause bans just using two Mewtwo.
