Mewtwo's counters were the gen 1 mechanics itself. Mewtwo hates being paralyzed by thunder wave (the best status spread move in the game) and it can't just use sub to stop it since in gen 1 subs don't block status condition inflicting moves
The fact that you needed an ENTIRE 6 Pokémon team to get even have a chance at defeating him at the end of Pokémon stadium also speaks volumes of how stupid op he was on Gen 1.
I remember that because as a kid I didn’t really understood the mechanics of the game I would always bring the starter trio, plus the legendary birds. Yeah I can’t remember right now how I beat him.
I'm glad future generations introduced both countermeasures to balance out Mewtwo and a bevy of new tools for it. It may be a savage offensive monster, but it's MY savage offensive monster.
You know you’re a terrible thinker if you say “Gen 1 psychics are broken” and don’t follow it up with anything. It’s not that they’re broken. The problem is that its counters have weak attack power or double edged with the secondary Poison type. The only way to win is to cheat with Jolteon’s Pin Missile. The only Pokémon that outspeeds Jolteon-
Gen 1 was really unbalanced and couldn’t really be compared to metagames today. Being strong there isn’t the same as being strong in more modern metagames. Therefore, mewtwo is not the strongest pokemon of all time.
You can reasonably make a team without Zacian, Miraidon, or Mega Rayquaza in their respective gens without completely throwing, but Mewtwo is absolutely mandatory on every serious RBY Ubers team.
I personally think Zacian crowned is way more broken than mewtwo
Mewtwo has no niche counters ?
Well Light Screen Chansey , Self-Destruct Snorlax , Exeggutor and Amensia Slowbro would all disagree as does your Own Mewtwo and Transform Mew

I like how by today's stats gen 1 Mewtwo would have a higher BST than Arceus
The slight hesitation in "Yep, Mewtwo is definitely a Psychic type." made me burst out laughing! Thanks FSG!

Happy belated birthday, Mewtwo!
Why Miraidon so good?
Mewtwo is not hit supereffectively by ghost moves in generation 1 and is immune though due to the type chart…
This man hasn’t seen liepard with assist into dive

Nice seeing an FSG Short
Eternates eternamax:
to beat mewtwo you had to first use jolteon to paralize him and then send snorlax with body slam
fsg's uploading shorts! wow
Please make more of this please 😢
Not gonna lie, got baited by the thumbnail thought this was going to be a Blissey short
Amnesia, barrier, recover, this thing is unkillable!
W short
But it hasnt learned Wrap!
The only possible ways of dealing with it are your own Mewtwo, Chansey or freezing it.
So broken it had its own theme in Pkm Stadium.
What about GSC Snorlax?
Ultra Necrozma whistle in the corner
Ain't no Bidoof though 😂
Fighting this Pokémon in RBY really felt like you were fighting the final boss of Pokémon
Pls more shorts
What if you wanted to be the strongest pokemon ever
But God said
“Slowbro lol”
That is why Mewtwo is the strongest Pokémon during Gen 1 at least.
Mega Ray CREATED the anything goes tier in Smogon. Mewtwo is stronger than THAT. Think about that.
FSG shorts let's goooo
we doin shorts now? Pog
is Miraidon actually tearing apart Gen 9 Ubers or is he there just to grab the attention of new players who only know Gen 9?

All you did was pray for paralysis or for your own Mewtwo set to beat the other person's. Or that they didn't have submission for your chansey
Not only that but you also forgot that Mewtwo's got a really good moveset, with amnesia recover and reflect it can become nearly unkillable
"The only Bug and Ghost"
Scratch the Ghost part cause the guys at Game Freak managed to make Psychic immune to Ghost in Gen 1.
So yeah, only Twin Needle and Pin Missile work.
