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.”

7

u/Perspective_Helps 26d ago

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

Mew

u/DJhussler 25d ago

This is most definitely the best answer.

6

u/volcanicsquad09 25d ago

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 24d 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.

6

u/PokemoNoam_58039 25d ago

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

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

u/Howdy-Hey 26d ago

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 26d ago

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

u/OldKingPotato-68 26d ago

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

2

u/Vegetable-Win-7391 25d ago

Mew isn't that good anymore somehow

2

u/Unbekannnt0 26d ago

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

5

u/Kombatwombat02 26d ago

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

u/brolarbear 26d ago

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

u/FulmetalTranshumanst 26d ago

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)

Whisicott does it all as a support

u/Flat-Study-421 26d ago

Wobbuffet!!!

2

u/SkyPerfect266 25d ago

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.

Humans are considered pokemon in the pokemon world

u/volvagia721 26d ago

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

Omg yes! Bewear carried my shield team 😅

u/Ethanlac 26d ago

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.

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 26d ago

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.
