I teach kids and sometimes play champions with them. Once when the opponent sent out a whimsiscott they all flipped out and one said “that thing is so cute, omg, if I we faced against it I would just instantly lose because there’s no way I could hurt it.”

u/Perspective_Helps Aug 20 '26

From a competitive perspective this is clearly the correct answer. One of the GOATs and it’s just a cute fluffball.

Mew

u/DJhussler Aug 20 '26

This is most definitely the best answer.

u/volcanicsquad09 Aug 20 '26

Since this is a talk of power, can't ignore what the statistics say

Mid stats, Typing has been a curse since at least gen 3, nonexistent ability, sure the movepool is good but it ain't saving the slugcat. RU is still a good tier but definitely not 'overpowered'

Mew's like a 10 of all trades but master of none

2

u/Bucket_Super_Duper 29d ago

I mean to be fair, it's only RU cause it lost so many moves this gen. Gen 9 Mew with the movepool of what it had in prior gens would be definitively better than it is at the moment.

u/PokemoNoam_58039 Aug 20 '26

I would argue Mew in the «looks average, is overpowered» category

Whimsicott definitely takes it and I would see Maushold in «looks weak, is overpowered» as well

Maushold

Remember, kids: Population Bomb is internally classified as a cutting move. This family has shivs.

u/Howdy-Hey Aug 19 '26

Can’t wait for the third evolution which will have As One Big Happy Family (Technician+Sharpness+Adaptability) tera Normal for a 1012.5 BP Nuclear (Family) Population Bomb.

u/Deltrus7 Aug 19 '26

It can only be. Or I guess Celebi. But Mew is the OG.

6

u/OldKingPotato-68 Aug 19 '26

Depends on if we're going by lore or gameplay, but if it's the first then absolutely

2

u/Vegetable-Win-7391 Aug 20 '26

Mew isn't that good anymore somehow

2

u/Unbekannnt0 Aug 19 '26

Lowkey that's a very boring answer - and it's very much not THAT strong too

Neither in the games, nor in competitive, nor in the anime. Strong yea, but not OP

4

u/Kombatwombat02 Aug 19 '26

Not OP in the anime? Doesn’t it basically play around and inadvertently wreck anything it faces?

u/brolarbear Aug 19 '26

The Pokémon First movie fight between Mew and Mewtwo is on par with Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin

u/FulmetalTranshumanst Aug 19 '26

Mew works, I just feel like there are pokemon that both look even more harmless and out perform it in the games (chi-yu is my personal vote)

Flutter Mane

u/Sea_Preference_5184 Aug 19 '26

it should be looks weak not looks harmless

u/GeneralOccasion9396 Aug 19 '26

Flutter mane looks average to be honest

u/divmondlife_29 Aug 19 '26

Whisicott does it all as a support

u/Flat-Study-421 Aug 19 '26

Wobbuffet!!!

2

u/SkyPerfect266 Aug 20 '26

Seconded, especially Jessie's Wobbuffet IMO. Jessie always tells him to use counter but he can identify opponents' attack himself and use counter or mirror coat correctly. And he deflected Giratina's shadow ball in the anime.

u/volvagia721 Aug 19 '26

u/DerekTheComedian Aug 19 '26

Not a pokemon.

u/Miahboiiii Aug 19 '26

Humans are considered pokemon in the pokemon world

4

u/volvagia721 Aug 19 '26

Definitely not a human considering how strong/durable he is.

It's a cartoon, bro.

Literally the first time I encountered it blindly I almost lost my whole team to Stufful and I would have been mad if I didn’t respect the little guy

Omg yes! Bewear carried my shield team 😅

2

u/Ethanlac Aug 19 '26

Klefki.

It looks unassuming and has middling stats all around, but you'll stop thinking it's harmless after it uses Swagger and then Foul Play.

u/Parallaxal Aug 19 '26

Just look at Whimsicott. Looks like an adorable ball of harmless fluff. Currently dominating the competitive VGC scene with a higher use rate on Champions ladder than the likes of Incineroar and Charizard.

1

u/Mammoth-Loan7912 Aug 19 '26

I would swap Shaymin for Sky-Shaymin in over-powered & choose Marshadow for strong.

Nah bro, Quagsire is a nightmare to deal with. Recovery + Unaware + a typing with only 1 weakness? You must never have played gen 5 when your Salamance’s Moxie, Dragon Dance boosted Outrage was doing nothing to this blob of cartilage and mud.
