Both defensive scores are balanced, making it difficult to exploit a weakness in this fearsome fighter. X's Attack is skyrocketed here, making the addition of the Fighting-type more than welcome, although Special Attack remains high enough to stay viable.
Mega Mewtwo XĪs of this writing, Mega Mewtwo's forms share the highest stat total (along with Mega Rayquaza). However, TMs and such can expand its options, and like Charizard, Mewtwo can morph into one of two Mega forms, further increasing its versatility.
If Mewtwo has a weakness, it's an underwhelming ability (Pressure) and a limited-type movepool. Mewtwo can also heal itself with Recover, and when it first debuted, Steel and Dark types didn't yet exist, making Psychic monsters the undisputed kings of Kanto. With incredible Special Attack and Speed, it often vanquishes foes before they can strike back. Introduced in: Pokémon Red and Blue (Generation 1)Ī man-made Pokémon cloned from Mew's DNA, the iconic Mewtwo has long terrorized opponents. Bearing that in mind, it wields a fantastic number of resistances (seven!), suffers double damage only from fellow Ground-type moves, and tears foes asunder with its awesome Attack stat. Primal Groudon, functioning similarly to a Mega Pokémon, lumbers in with impressive stats and a terrific ability, Desolate Land, which amplifies the effects of regular harsh sunlight by entirely negating Water-type attacks (which would otherwise hit Primal Groudon hit for quadrupled damage). Finally, Groudon learns Fighting and Fire moves in addition to Ground, and its Rest technique heals itself fully at the cost of falling asleep for two turns. This powers up Fire, weakens Water, and lets it use its Grass-typed attack Solarbeam without needing to charge, a fine addition to its arsenal as it makes Water foes eager to attack and Ground Pokémon nervous. While its base stat total is a pinch lower than today's other entries, Groudon possesses a tantalizing ability, Drought, that automatically creates sunlight (like the Sunny Day move). Speculation is abound on a new form of Lycanroc as well from the Trailer, although we haven’t had a clear look at it yet.Introduced in: Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Generation 3)Ī rare Ground legendary, Groudon's intimidating form appropriately focuses on Attack and Defense.
