“Who am I?”

Mewtwo, the genetically engineered Pokémon!

Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate lifeform!

We’ve all at some point in our lives questioned our very being, whether it be our reason to keep living, our career path, or if our past is truly what defines our very being. There are no two fictional characters that embody such introspection as these two Genetic Innovations!

Today, we find out which Lifeform is truly the Ultimate!

Researchers - TheDrunkGiraffe, BigDreadChris, CapsirusYT, Crocodile, El Cato, FinalCometVA, Hybrid Epsilon, Jaren1207, LoneStar_117, ManOfAction, guzubu, Pumkinswift, Radiant Claire, Soggy Waffles, The Elk, thelevy555.

For Mewtwo’s sources, it’s tricky to say. Pokémon doesn’t really have a set canon, unlike Sonic; Entralink suggests that even your own save files are separate canons. So, we will be doing the usual soft-composite between the mainline games, anime (both translations), and manga. We will be mentioning additional spin-off games such as Pokken and Mystery Dungeon, with huge asterisks as to whether they should even be viable - again, no canon, Pokemon scaling is stinky like that.

For Shadow, it’s a bit easier; the games, of course, will be the primary source, as well as any other ‘canon’ material, like the IDW Comics.

I also wish to stress there are 2 incredible blogs by Lokas’s Prediction Blogs and blogsThoseGuysThatQuit for this Matchup. We do not wish to take anything away from either blog, as they are incredible. This is a very complicated matchup, and whilst general abilities and feats may be similar to those 2 and other blogs involving these characters, we are still different researchers, and thus have our own interpretations to give about the debate itself. So, please enjoy my 1st ever blog!

Mewtwo:

“I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life who determines who you are.”

Mewtwo's life started in a place he never chose to be. You see dear reader, the Pokemon Mew was believed to carry the DNA of every single Pocket Monster, and that thought fascinated scientists, specifically one Dr Gero, and he succeeded. But, this wasn't just a clone of Mew, this was seemingly stronger, more intospective, and far more unstable as a result.

In Mewtwos earliest moments, it shared a strange, dream-like connection with Geros deceased daughter. But that does not last, that connection slowly disappeared, leaving Mewtwo with nothing, not even a clear memory - shaping everything that comes next. When it realises its origin isn't fully biological, he destroys his creation lab, refusing to allow others to define who he is.

But in that moment, he is finally given something he desperately needed - direction. By one Team Rocket Leader Giovanni, but it does not take long for Mewtwo to see he is being tooled with, and not being respected as an individual. So, if the world sees Mewtwo as artificial, as lesser then Mew, then he would prove otherwise. Isolating himself, Mewtwo creates copies of powerful Pokemon, not out of friendship but out of challenge to the entire world.

But...something was off, instead of gaining self-esteem out of watching his clones battle the real deals, he gains realisation, that everyone fighting has a choice, they're not fighting for someone out of fear or control, but by choice. And in that moment, he lets go of the idea that he has anything to prove, stepping away from the cycle of violence he was going down, choosing to protect others instead of use, and to exist on their own terms.

Shadow:

(edit by BlursedSV)

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

“I now understand why I am here. I made a promise and I’m here to keep it. Today, I put my past behind me”.

Shadow wasn’t just another lifeform, he was created with a purpose by Dr Gerald Robotnik and the Black Arms leader Black Doom. Designed to be perfect, to overcome illness, even to outlast time itself. But despite all that, his world wasn’t defined by experiments or equations. It was defined by one person.

Maria.

She was kind, fragile, and saw something in Shadow that no one else really did. The two of them spent their time looking out at the planet below, talking about what life could be like down there - peaceful, happy, free. For Shadow, that became his entire understanding of the world. Not through experience, but through her hope.

And then, in an instant, it was gone.

The facility was raided by G.U.N. Everything fell apart. In the middle of the chaos, Maria made a choice, she sent Shadow away, saving his life at the cost of her own. Her final wish wasn’t for revenge or anger, but something simple: that people on Earth could have a chance to be happy. But that’s not the message that stayed with him.

When Shadow finally wakes up again, it’s after decades of nothingness - no time to process, no chance to heal. He’s pulled back into the world by Eggman offering him purpose, something to hold onto. And with his memories twisted and incomplete, that purpose becomes revenge. If the world took everything from him, why should it deserve to keep going?

He moves forward like that for a while, cold, focused, unstoppable. But cracks start to show. Encounters with others, moments that don’t quite line up with the version of the past he’s holding onto… it all starts to feel wrong. And eventually, it hits him. He remembers what Maria actually wanted. Not destruction. Not revenge. Hope.

That realization changes everything. In a moment where the world is genuinely on the brink, Shadow makes a choice - not because he’s told to, not because he’s programmed to, but because he understands. He fights to save it, pushing himself past his limits to stop the ARK crashing into the Earth, even if it costs him everything.

And for a while, it seems like it does. As Shadow...died?

But Shadow’s story doesn’t end there. When he returns, things are… unclear. His memories are fractured, his identity uncertain. There are questions about whether he’s even the same person anymore, or just another version of something that can be recreated. And instead of answers, he gets more manipulation, more people trying to tell him who he is, what he was made for, what he should be.

This time, though, he doesn’t just accept it.

He questions everything. The past, the people tied to it, even Maria’s influence on him. And after everything he’s been through, he comes to a simple conclusion: none of it gets to decide his future. Not his creator, not his past, not even the person who meant the most to him. For the first time, Shadow chooses his own path.

From there on, he still fights. The world doesn’t exactly get safer, and threats don’t stop coming. But his role in it changes. He’s not chasing revenge anymore, and he’s not trying to live up to someone else’s vision either. He just does what needs to be done. Sometimes that means working alongside others. Sometimes it means standing alone. He’s not loud about it, not looking for recognition, but when things get serious, he’s there. That’s really what defines him in the end.

Not the power he was created with, or the title he was given, but the fact that he broke away from all of it. Where others move forward with optimism, Shadow moves forward with weight, everything he’s lost, everything he’s learned. But he keeps going anyway.

And this time, it’s entirely on his own terms.

Mewtwo:

——————————————————————————————————————

Getting an exact lockdown on Mewtwo's experience is tricky, we know that 20 years ago Mewtwo was cloned, and in the manga he fights with Blaine a few years later, so generously 10-15 years of combat experience, fighting both with wild pokemon, other trainers, and other legendaries, becoming fairly skilled at adapting to it’s foes.

Even outside of the manga, whether it be the anime films, anime shows, games like X and Y, and so on, Mewtwo has spent months (because Ash is forever 10), if not years, guarding and protecting innocent Pokémon.

Additionally, it is also stated that Mewtwo is potentially the most savage Pokémon out there, training itself to conserve energy by remaining motionless in battle.

Mewtwo is also smart enough to build a perfect cloning facility based on the very place he came from, and with its destruction, it is likely that he did so from scratch, utilizing technology that took his creators years to make even one successful clone. He did this on the first try from scratch, as well as perfected it, and made Pokémon superior to their original counterparts. It is even stated that Mega Mewtwo Y's intelligence has grown vastly superior to base!

Furthermore, in the 1st and 2nd Mystery Dungeon Games, IQ is actually a buffable stat that grants a range of perks and skills, such as:

Item Catcher: Lets Mewtwo catch and hold an item thrown at it, though it can’t do this if it’s already holding one.

Dedicated Traveler: Makes Mewtwo focus more on traveling than fighting.

Escapist: Let's Mewtwo help others escape from dangerous situations.
PP Checker: Makes Mewtwo not attempt to use moves if it is out of energy to use a certain move or if using linked moves would delink them if used again.

Self-Curer: Makes Mewtwo recover from status effects faster than usual.

Extra Striker: Sometimes lets Mewtwo attack again right after its first one.
Intimidator: Sometimes makes Mewtwo’s opponent flinch when they try to attack, causing them to do nothing.
No-Charger: Makes moves that Mewtwo has to charge come out right away without needing to be charged, though it makes it exert twice as much energy as it would normally.
Trap Seer: Lets Mewtwo not set off traps when stepped on, which also makes them visible if they were hidden.
House Avoider: Let's Mewtwo sense an ambush when one is about to happen.
Pierce Hurler: Makes items Mewtwo throws pierce through opponents and walls.
Super Mobile: Let's Mewtwo be able to walk on water, lava, and clouds, as well as be able to dig through walls when it walks into them.

Shadow:

——————————————————————————————————————

In terms of age, Shadow spent 50 years trapped in a cryogenic capsule on the ARK space colony. Mentally, he should be around 15/16 years old.

In regard to skill, as a member of GUN, he should have hand-to-hand training; he has knowledge of firearms, swords, and his chaos powers. Furthermore, he constantly faces off against the likes of Sonic, Martial Arts masters like Knuckles, Eggman, Black Doom, and extradimensional threats like Solaris. Hell, Sonic himself states Shadow is his biggest rival.

Importantly, Emerl's mastery of weapons and hand-to-hand caused Gerald’s computer to crash with the sheer data alone. Guess who’s equal to him?

Oh, and apparently he has an IQ of fucking 200. (Yes, this is canon)

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Equipment:

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Mewtwo:

M2 Bind:

——————————————————————————————————————

Designed by Team Rocket during his training, it is meant to suppress, yet focus his power. This suit, while beneficial to Mewtwo, was ultimately destroyed alongside the Team Rocket Base that Giovanni kept him within.

Poke Balls:

——————————————————————————————————————

During his crusade to destroy the human world, he created custom poke balls that can steal already caught Pokémon, including those within poke balls already. These poke balls can be manifested from thin air, and Mewtwo is incredibly adept at controlling a swarm of them at a time. Seemingly, these can catch inanimate objects as well.

In-Game held Items:

——————————————————————————————————————

These are items Mewtwo can be caught with or he has had in the past:

Leftovers - Restores 1/16th of Mewtwo’s health every turn.
Lum Berry - Cures any negative effects.
Bright Powder - Reduces the accuracy of attacks targeting Mewtwo by 10%.
Twisted Spoon - Boosts Mewtwos psychic abilities by 20%.
King’s Rock - Every attacking move Mewtwo uses has a 10% chance to flinch. Lowers foes accuracy by 20%
Custap Berry - If Mewtwo is below ¼ health, it will consume the berry and be able to attack first once.
Life Orb - Boosts his damage by 30%.
Expert Belt - Boosts Mewtwo's super effective attacks dealt damage by 20%.
Heavy Duty Boots - Makes Mewtwo unaffected by entry hazards such as spikes.
Havoc Robe - A Mewtwo exclusive item that is basically just pressure, forcing foes to exert twice the energy.
Mega Mewtwonite X and Y- in game is required to mega evolve, however in the movie, and Legends ZA these are not needed for Mewtwo. We will get more into these in the forms section.

Mewtwo Cancer Berserk Genes:

These are the genes found within Mewtwo extracted from Mew. In-game, when Mewtwo enters battle holding its signature item, it confuses itself and raises its attack by two stages. From a lore perspective, this obviously does not apply. In Detective Pikachu it is simply a drug pokemon can take (wtf is that movie about).

Mewtwo can sense anyone who has these cells, and vice versa, and although he can sense his cells out in the world, he cannot pinpoint an exact location until near. If someone gets Mewtwo’s cells within them, it will cause cellular decay. However, this is only if Mewtwo himself is in pain as well, or enraged. In the movie, it makes others enraged instead.

Looplet/ Emeras (Debatable):

Looplet | Pokémon Wiki | Fandom

These are items found in Super Mystery Dungeon, they can hold up to 4 emeras within. Emeras grant a multitude of passive effects. Even without a Looplet, Mewtwo can use them on itself, so they are valid in VS Debates. It should be noted however that these dissipate when exiting a dungeon, so it is debatable how they’d work in this matchup.

Shadow Synergy Stone (Debatable):

Mewtwo and Shadow can do a fusion dance or something. An item exclusive to Pokken, Mewtwo in an act of heroism saved a young girl from its power, but in the process, became corrupted itself. More on this corrupted form later.

Rings:

The most standard and recognisable Sonic collectable! Their main purpose from a gameplay stand-point is to keep the player alive, but for Super Shadow, it’s a time limit, the more rings Shadow has, the longer he lasts (pause).

But surely they don’t matter in lore? Well:

Silver requires them to power himself.
Plenty of manuals and characters state they are necessary.
They supposedly shielded Sonic in Prime, as well as in Frontiers (Supremes attacks will kill him without rings).

——————————————————————————————————————

Chaos Emeralds:

——————————————————————————————————————

You know em, you loathe collecting them - the Chaos Emeralds! Said to be able to transform thoughts into power, these miracle gems have a wide variety of abilities, outside of the obvious we’ll get to later. They have been stated dozens (literally) of times to have INFINITE power (from a powerscaling perspective this would be Universal+ to avoid no limits fallacy). Typically, they are quite black and white, being associated with positive and negative energy (good guys are positive, bad guys harness negative), and as discussed later can be recharged with said energy. They can be recalled to the user. Here’s a list of the shocking amount of abilities they grant:

Wish Granting (Debatable) - They are described as gems made of a super material that can grant wishes, although this isn’t always literal from a combat perspective.
Healing/Resurrection - Chaos Emeralds have been shown multiple times to have abilities that heal wounds, and restore stamina, and even revive other people. (yes, I'm talking about THAT scene from THAT game).
Growth - The emeralds can grow plants.
Weather manipulation - the emeralds were able to nullify a storm.
Sealing - Silver would have been able to seal Blaze and Iblis in another dimension.

He didn't do it because, well, he's Silver and never does anything. And he'll NEVER have his own game (I DIDN’T TYPE THIS).

Restoration - The power of the emeralds was what returned reality to normal after the events of Time Eater.
Energy absorption - On their own, the emeralds were able to absorb the power of Eggman's mind-controlling ray. This recharged them and allowed Sonic to reach his super state.
Conceptual and Dream Manipulation - I know what you're thinking. Sonic the Hedgehog? The fast-running Mario clone manipulating concepts?

Well...yes

In Sonic Shuffle, Lumina reveals that the protagonists are in Maginaryworld, a world that brings together the dreams of people in all dimensions. Dreams can range from desires and transformations to refuges from sadness, and give rise to various dream worlds such as the Emerald Coast, the Firebird, the Wilderness Zone, and the Riot Train.

However, the Void generates anomalies that threaten to destroy Maginaryworld.

The Void and Lumina are part of Illumina, being complementary representations of dreams: the Void embodies the darkness, emptiness, and negative emotions necessary for dreams to exist, while Lumina represents light and hope.

And you might wonder, how does this affect the Chaos Emeralds?

Well, the emeralds are directly called the substances of dreams. This means that beings like Void, who could destroy the Magisterial World, exist thanks to this power.

And if that doesn't convince you, the power of the emeralds is greater than that of Solaris, which was capable of destroying the entire Sonic cosmology. Which obviously includes the MaginaryWorld.

Information, Data and Soul Manipulation (Debatable) - The ancients used Chaos Emeralds to empower cyberspace. This being a separate, digital dimension, it contains countless amounts of information, and even can materialise it. Cyberspace even stores information about the ancestors' essence, including concepts like their hopes and dreams (more evidence of the emeralds' conceptual manipulation), even their souls.

When a character enters cyberspace, his memories materialize in the place and alter it.

Law/Fate Manipulation (Debatable) - Super Sonic defeated The End, despite it being attuned to ruling fate on everything that exists across the universe, with its defeat supposedly transcending law and time, Sonic himself even stated that he would have to “break the cause and effect of fate” to defeat it (all this according to the JP script) It is debatable if these are all literal or figure of speech, but The Chaos Emeralds are Said to be gems that can accomplish miracles on several occasions, so…maybe?

Shadow’s Super Form and Resistances with the Emeralds are covered later.

Btw…

Infinity Stones: 😪😴🥱💤

Chaos Emeralds: 😎🤑💰💥

Mewtwo:

Pokemon Abilities:
——————————————————————————————————————

Level-up moves:

Moves that Mewtwo can learn from leveling up, without any outside Interference.

This includes control of others’ bodies or objects, shatter things, use objects, crush things, fire a beam of psychic energy, or send out a psychic mine that track opponents, which detonates after a few seconds in an explosion of psychic energy that briefly stuns them. Mewtwo can also use it on itself or others to fly around in the air, and others it uses it on can even move around on their own.

It can be manipulated into physical strikes, and be charged to increase its potency. It can be summoned as a tornado that can reflect attacks, as well as conceal itself. As well as the almighty spoon (a psychics deadliest weapon). Said spoon can grapple objects, be used in combat, be manipulated into a fork. IT CAN EVEN MAKE 2 SPOONS??? AND HE CAN JOIN THEM TOGETHER LIKE DARTH FUCKING MAUL???
Psych Up: Copies the opponent’s stat changes.
Barrier: Raises Mewtwo’s defense by two stages. It also acts as a forcefield, which can even be used to slam into opponents while flying around, protect others in it, reflect projectiles back to sender, create explosions of psychic energy by expanding it, or stand on in the air as a platform for itself and others by partially opening it.
Me First: Copies the move of the Opponent with 50% more power. Only works if the Mewtwo goes first. It can also be used to unleash a random attack the opponent has.
Miracle Eye: Allows Mewtwo to guarantee hits, guarantee psychic attacks can’t be resisted, as well as removing the Opponent’s Ghost and Dark Immunities.
Confuse Ray: “Well…. Take a guess.” - Drunk Giraffe
Teleport: You want us to spell this one out? It should be noted that it can also be used to teleport others, objects, or Mewtwo’s own attacks. All of these things can be done across dimensions as well.
Agility: Raises Mewtwo’s speed by two stages.
Psybeam: Fires a semi-powerful beam of energy that never misses. It also has a 10% chance to cause confusion.
Calm Mind: Mewtwo calms its mind and substantially raises its special attack and defence.

Then there's Psystrike: Mewtwo’s signature move! Deals damage based on the opponents defense instead of special defense, despite its special attributes. It can materialize an odd psychic wave, form a forcefield around itself for protection and to keep others in it from escaping, which it can also expand to blast opponents, fire a huge psychic projectile that briefly stuns opponents before giving them a mental shock, launch a barrage of psychic energy blasts into the air that rain down from above, which can change direction on Mewtwo’s command, create a psychic blast that it releases point-blank, create multiple psychic mines that then blow up, release an explosion of psychic energy, fire a psychic bomb that engulfs opponents in an explosion, or surround itself in psychic energy before slamming into the ground to create an explosion. It can even power through most things when it’s using it. Mewtwo is so skilled with it that it can combo with physical strikes before blasting opponents away.

Flight:
——————————————————————————————————————

——————————————————————————————————————

Tf do you want me to say.

Telepathy:

Naturally, as a psychic type Mewtwo can communicate with others using its mind, no matter the distance. It can target specific people as well, even from miles away. He can even do this whilst unconscious. It can even show its own memories to others.

Extrasensory Perception:

What this means is that Mewtwo can find others when hidden.

Morty (an inexperienced esper) can see through an entire forest with 1 glance with his psychic abilities, obviously Mewtwo would upscale to that.

Forcefields:

——————————————————————————————————————

Mewtwo can construct forcefields with his mind that can take the form of flat walls or circular orbs around him. These barriers have never been shown to break, able to take the force of Leaf’s Mega Blastoises full assault as well as Red’s Mega Charizard X . These barriers can also additionally be used to attack as well, losing their form and being applicable as a counterattack to those who strike them.

Weather Manipulation:

——————————————————————————————————————

Severe Storms in Chicago? I've seen this before... : r/pokemongo

——————————————————————————————————————

Mewtwo has complete control over the weather, like when he made a giant storm.

Energy Manipulation/Absorption:

Pokemon Mewtwo Intensifying Power GIF | GIFDB.com

On a general level, as seen above, Mewtwo can manipulate Psychic energy to cause waves of destruction. He can shoot beams of energy, charge himself up, or rain down giant beams from above that attack continuously and move around. Additionally, he can make huge omnidirectional blasts, summon energy around it for protection or offense, or detonated upon impact, homing blades, arrows, and shock waves that briefly guard it as it charges it up, swirl up massive twisters, which can be created around itself or charged up to become bigger and more powerful, trap opponents in psychic binds, form barriers, or augment its physical strikes to make them stronger, along with being able to increase their range.

He can even absorb energy itself.

Telekinesis:

Pin by charmy on pokémon👾⚡️ | Mew and mewtwo, Pokemon mewtwo, Pokemon deoxys

Although mentioned in the moveset section, it’s still such a notable ability it needed its own segment. Outside of your standard lifting, throwing, and crushing, he can create forceful telekinetic pushes, and reflect projectiles back to sender.

Hydrokinesis:

——————————————————————————————————————

As shown above, Mewtwo has no issue waterbending.

Photokinesis:

As shown above, Mewtwo can control light to an extent. It can create pillars both close and far that hurt opponents and block their movements, or spawn one beneath opponents to blast them away.

Umbrakinesis:

If you read his moveset, you know he can use dark and ghost attacks. Which it can use to emit pulses, create blasts, produce explosions, or form vortexes, Mewtwo can even engulf its body in dark energy when performing physical strikes to make them more powerful.

Electrokinesis:

Even outside of his moveset, all of Mewtwo's energy manipulation can be manifested as electricity as well.

Cryokinesis:

Read the moveset tee hee.

Pyrokinesis:

What do you think I’ll say here? All of his energy manipulation attacks can be engulfed with flames.

Geokinesis:

Outside of its moveset, Mewtwo can manipulate the very Earth itself to attack foes, or even shield itself.

Sleep…kinesis:

Go to sleep bitch. It should be noted this isn’t instant. Naturally he can end this whenever he feels like nap time’s over.

Teleportation:

He can teleport himself as seen above. And he can teleport others, and objects into his hands. In Unite, his strength increases a little after teleporting.

Portal Creation:

What it says on the tin. Buttt, he can also create portals into other dimensions to trap foes in for good.

Void Creation:

On a related note, Mewtwo can send others into other dimensions with voids, so far away they’ll never return. Of course, he can enter this space himself, and bring his victims out.

Afterimage Creation:

Mewtwo can move so fast it summons afterimages of himself to fight however he pleases. If destroyed, they can still deal damage as psychic orbs.

Agitation:

The last of our Ranger abilities, when trying to be captured, Mewtwo will essentially enter fight or flight, and becomes quicker and more ruthless.

Mind Control:

——————————————————————————————————————

Sentient Releasing | Superpower Wiki | Fandom

——————————————————————————————————————

Mewtwo has shown to be efficient in controlling the minds of, and speaking through people. He can release them from this control as well.

Memory Erasure:

——————————————————————————————————————

As seen above, Mewtwo can cleanse memories for upwards of weeks. He can even do this to armies of people and pokemon. Thankfully, he can reverse this.

Mind Reading:

Mewtwo can scan entire lifetimes of thoughts and memories in seconds.

Petrification:

——————————————————————————————————————

Pokémon: 10 Times Ash Put His Own Life On The Line

——————————————————————————————————————

As seen here, Mewtwo one-shots Ash, killing him and petrifying him. Seemingly, this is countered by tears. Amber describes Poketears as being full of life itself (I know it says light in the subs but she says life). This is further established in Pokemon Adventures, upon fighting Darkrai their battle petrified the trainers around them, implying Mewtwo himself cannot control this petrification.

Object Creation:

There’s no better way to describe it, Mewtwo can just…create objects? The limit is unknown, but it could be an argument as to how he gets his more ‘non-standard’ stuff.

Speaking of creation…

Black Holes:

Yeah he can just wipe the planet with a black hole if he felt like it lmao.

Ability Cancelling:

——————————————————————————————————————

For context, Mewtwo wishes to prove his clones are superior even without their powers, so he…well you see the quote. And it’s a straight up physical brawl afterwards. This also extends to cancelling status effects.

Rare Qualities:
——————————————————————————————————————

Rare Qualities are a group of abilities from Mystery Dungeon DX. While they apply to your whole team, Mewtwo should have every ability listed. The list of abilities that are combat applicable is as follows:

Lonely Courage - A boost to a Pokemon when they are without any allies. A generic, yet large power-up for Mewtwo
Narrow Focus - When attacking in a corridor, Mewtwo’s moves will never miss.
Rapid Bull’s-Eyes - Moves that hit multiple times will never miss.
Steamroller - Moves that would normally do resisted damage or no damage due to the target's typing or Ability instead deal normal damage.

Special Abilities:

What it says on the tin, abilities that are special…from Battrio of all games:

Speed Up: Moderately raises Mewtwo’s allies’ Speed if it’s the leader of the team.
Attack Up: Moderately raises Mewtwo’s allies’ Attack if it’s the leader of the team.
Super Berry: Randomly summons a berry that temporarily raises Attack and Speed when eaten.

Awakening:

More Battrio stuff, basically just more perks Mewtwo has:

Vigor: Raises Mewtwo’s Attack when it’s greatly successful during a battle.
Gale: Raises Mewtwo’s Attack and Defense.

Z Tretta:

More games you’ve never heard of (nor me), when faced with a ‘strong’ foe, Mewtwo will enter Max Voltage, buffing the stat trinity and its health.

Synergy Burst:

Another ‘gameplay mechanic only’ ability, exclusive to Pokken, Synergy Burst is the characters transformation essentially. When it enters Synergy Burst, it restores some of its HP and creates a shock wave around itself that pushes opponents back. It also gains a stat buff. As seen above, it can mega evolve at will, mainly into X, theoretically Y as well. Also, it restores HP passively as long as it’s not getting hit. It should be noted this lasts 13 seconds, and Shadow Mewtwo only lasts 8! Taking damage in this mode decreases the amount of time it can stay in it in general.

That said, Shadow Mewtwo can stay in Synergy Burst for an indefinite amount of time if it has enough Synergy Power, and even enter a second Synergy Burst that increases its power even further. This can also last indefinitely, and make Mewtwo near invincible.

Soul Manipulation:

For some reason, the movie writers decided he should be able to transfer souls into other bodies. The crowd size doesn’t matter either. However, this can only be done if the being the soul is being put into is in a crazed state or willing to let it happen, regardless, he can still remove souls. A work around is the fact the berserk gene is a drug made of Mewtwo’s DNA that explicitly causes whatever it’s used on to go berserk.

Immortality:

Mew is apparently immortal, and thus, so should Mewtwo. This would explain why it can survive without oxygen for a while.

Healing Factor/Healing:

Even outside of recover, Mewtwo has been shown to regenerate from fatal wounds such as stabbing. He can even heal others.

Resurrection:

Mewtwo Jesus Renaissance Wall Art | Threadfox

As mentioned earlier, one of Mewtwo's most frequent abilities is recover, standard health recovery…right? Well…

During it’s creation, it actually died, and brought itself back thanks to recover…somehow.

Miscellaneous Abilities (Debatable):

——————————————————————————————————————

Precognition/ Future sight:

Alakazam is stated to be able to use every edge of psychic abilities from Pearl’s Pokedex entry onwards. Because of this, Alakazam foresees the future with his psychic abilities (Let’s Go Pikachu! And Eevee!, Ultra Moon). Mewtwo is considered the strongest of AT LEAST the Generation 1 Pokemon, and furthermore considered the strongest Psychic-type pokemon. He has defeated Alakazam in direct combat (Mewtwo Strikes Back!) with psychic abilities placing him above Alakazam and giving Mewtwo Precognition.
Psychic pokemon such as Gardevoir, and Xatu are commonly stated and shown to directly see the future from their pokedex entries, manga, and Mystery Dungeon.
Sabrina and Olympia in the anime and games are stated to have basic precognition simply from practicing their psychic abilities.

——————————————————————————————————————

Resistances:

Physical Attacks - Psychic types resist physical attacks.
Severe Heat - He’s walked right through flames before.
Extreme Cold - Can fly out of orbit.
Paralysis - See Paralysis Guard Emera.
Poison - See Poison Guard Emera.
Sleep Inducement - See Sleep Guard Emera.
(Debatable) Oxygen - Can survive in space (but is very fatigued, and gets knocked out when entering and exiting orbit).
BFR - See Anchor Emera.
Petrification - Was unaffected by his clash with Darkrai that petrified normal humans.
Power Sealing/Nullification (Questionable) - Shrugged off a machine designed to seal its powers off, although Giovanni admitted afterwards that tech has its limits.
Willpower Drainage/ Mind Control - When Giovanni's tech harnessed Mewtwo's energy, it could not harness Mewtwo's willpower.

Shadow:

Spin Attack:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow curls into a ball and rolls on the floor. This technique actually has many variations, like…

Spin Jump:

——————————————————————————————————————

It is used to attack enemies in the middle of the jump

Spin Dash:

——————————————————————————————————————

Crouches, builds speed by spinning, and launches himself at enemies. Shadow actually has his own variant of this, called…"Dark Spin Dash," of course…

Its use is identical to the normal Spin Dash. But instead of being used to attack, it's used to access Red Slime paths, allowing him to transport and take shortcuts.

Homing Attack:

——————————————————————————————————————

A jump that automatically locks onto an enemy to knock them out of the air. He can combine it with his teleportation abilities, which we talk about below.

Light Speed Dash:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow can travel around a ring track, and as the name suggests, he travels at the speed of light. He can even use this technique in the air.

Light Speed Attack:

Light Speed Attack | Sonic Wiki Zone | Fandom

By possessing the Ancient Light, Shadow charges the spin dash while light is drawn to him and begins to envelop him. With this, he is able to attack at ,well, the speed of light, destroying any enemies that he barrels towards in a heartbeat.

Black Tornado:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow uses the Spin Dash to circle around the enemy in the air at high speed, leaving a yellow glow behind. This trace creates a whirlwind effect that creates a dark cyclone around the opponent.

Shadow Boost:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow is surrounded by an aura that allows him to run at full speed, passing through all the enemies around him.

Stomp

——————————————————————————————————————

While in the air, Shadow propels himself downwards with great speed, hitting the ground and creating a shockwave that damages nearby enemies.

Chaos Spear:

——————————————————————————————————————

Chaos Spear | Sonic X: Heroes Forever Wiki | Fandom

——————————————————————————————————————

Chaos Spear is a Projectile which utilises chaos energy. It can also cause paralysis. It can also be used as a melee attack, as he can enhance this as Chaos Lance. Chaos Lance can drain Chaos Energy itself.

Chaos Boost:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow's entire body is surrounded by a red/yellow aura composed of Chaos Energy, similar to Dark Shadow's. In this state, he can use Chaos techniques such as Chaos Snap, Chaos Lance, and Chaos Blast (Speaking of…)

Chaos Blast:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow’s ultimate offensive attack. Generates a large wave of red negative energy that eliminates all nearby enemies. He can even fire this as a beam.

Chaos Nightmare:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow briefly ascends into the air, creating a purple aura of distorted space-time that damages enemies.

Chaos Burst:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow spins around and uses Chaos Control to hide in a distorted area of space. When he emerges from the distorted space, he briefly creates a small white and purple bubble around himself that damages any opponent who makes contact with it. He also distorts the space around both of his fists, creating small violet and purple spheres around each fist, which repel enemies.

Chaos Magic:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow snaps his fingers, creating an area of spatial distortion in front of the user in the form of a spatial rift that knocks opponents into the air.

Roaming Chaos:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow creates a distorted space in the shape of a purple and white orb, before launching it in a horizontal motion. The distorted space orb will float in the air and attempt to return to the user until an opponent hits it, knocking them into the air, or until Shadow performs the technique again.

Shadow Heal:

——————————————————————————————————————

He can heal minor wounds, however this uses chaos energy.

Shadow Guard:

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow crosses both arms to defend against incoming attacks while simultaneously using Chaos Control to increase the power of his guard. This forms a small spherical field that protects him from blows.

Chaos Upper:

Chaos Upper | Sonic Wiki Zone | Fandom

Shadow knocks a foe into the air.

Shadow Teleport:

S. Teleport | Sonic Wiki Zone | Fandom

Take a guess.

Ichikoro (Debatable):

Upon storing enough energy, Shadow can one-shot any foe. This is of course a gameplay mechanic and is pretty much a no limits fallacy.

Chaos Rift:

——————————————————————————————————————

How the Fuck?

——————————————————————————————————————

Shadow forms a rift in time and space, which takes the form of an orb. Once formed, Shadow throws the rift at his target in an attempt to banish the opponent from time and space

Chaos Dab:

He so cool based and epic (cringe)

Precognition (Debatable):

Shadow has frequently shown the ability to sense events right before they happen, it’s unlikely this is an intended ability, but it happens a lot.

Teleportation:

——————————————————————————————————————

Even without a Chaos Emerald, Shadow is able to teleport short distances. Often combining this with his standard melee attacks.

Chaos Control:

While yes this technically should fall under the ‘Chaos Emeralds’ section, this is such a Shadow-iconic ability it deserved its own segment. Allowing Shadow the ability to warp space and time, even without an emerald, granting him the ability to teleport great distances, Shadow can even use it on himself and others to warp them away from or towards different points in space, including across dimensions.

Furthermore, Emerl can triplicate himself using the technique. Plus, Shadow can create small orbs that can induce confusion on opponents or trap them for a short amount of time. Finally, Shadow creates spatial distortions through just his attacks with the technique.

Of course, it also allows Shadow to slow down time itself, making the foe free to attack. Hell, he can straight up freeze time too, in which he can choose if others can move as well. Time travel is also possible, but it requires another person, and Shadow has no way of cloning himself. Somehow, this can be done even in areas without time.

Additionally, Chaos Control can seal opponents, even spiritual ones, in another object or person, or even a dimension, and the hedgehogs themselves do this twice in Sonic 06. The Ancients utilized the Emeralds to forge Cyber Space, harnessing its cyber energy to influence, trap or encode souls. Tikal even sealed Chaos within the Master Emerald.

Immortality:

——————————————————————————————————————

Being the ultimate life form, Shadow's body never ages.

Resistances:

Extreme Cold - Can break free from being frozen.
Paralysis - Resists Black Dooms stuns not even Sonic could resist.
Psychokinesis (uh-oh) - Breaks free of Silvers hold on him.
Oxygen - Can survive in space.
Diseases - The whole point of the character is to survive stuff like say, cancer.
Mind Control - Shadow was able to resist the effects of Black Doom controlling his mind. (This seems to be based on Shadow’s willpower, so it should be effective against all forms of mind control. This is, however, speculative). Regardless, the emeralds certainly can.
Memory Erasure - Chaos Emeralds can just do anything, huh? Eggman caused an incident that altered all of reality, making everyone forget who they were. But Sonic and Tails were unaffected by this, thanks to two Chaos Emeralds in the form of tiaras that protected their memories. To reinforce this, the Sol Emeralds can restore memories too.
Biological Manipulation - Again, due to being the ultimate life form, Shadow's body was initially immune to the metal virus. However, thanks to Sega giving him a Vegeta attitude, Shadow continued to fight the zom-bots, causing the virus to adapt to his body and infect him.
BFR - See Chaos Control.
Transmutation - Shadow can resist Team Chaotix transmutating Team Dark into rings. When Sonic entered his super form, the effects of the metal virus were immediately cured.
Anti-matter - Although part of the alternate endings for Shadow's game, this version should still feature all of the main Shadow's powers and abilities.
Radiation - Resisted particle emission from Blue Falcon
Sealing - Sonic was able to escape from cyberspace. This wasn't done through any special ability, but through his own power.
Power Drainage - Although the Emeralds can be drained, they can be recharged with positive energy (therapy works kids). Theoretically Shadow should be able to recharge them with negative energy too. Not to mention, the Chaos Emeralds negated Dark Oak’s energy draining. Blaze reinforces this with the Sol Emeralds.
Power Nullification - Doom Zone removes the use of Chaos Control…yet Shadow uses it right next to Doom (It’s even disabled during the lead up to the boss fight).
Death Induction - Super forms can resist The Eyes Of Solaris which do exactly that.
Possession and Soul Manipulation - Shadow was completely immune to Ifrit's control, which can even mess with souls.
Time Manipulation - Shadow can break free of Chaos Control (Metal Overlord is also immune after copying Chaos Control).
Time Erasure - You’ve played Sonic x Shadow Generations I hope (peak peak PEAK).
Conceptual Manipulation (Debatable) - The Sonic cast is able to withstand attacks from the Void. You know, the entity that can destroy a world with infinite dreams. These same dreams being representations of abstract concepts
Law/Fate Manipulation (Debatable) - Super Sonic defeated The End, despite it being attuned to ruling fate on everything that exists across the universe, with its defeat supposedly transcending law and time, Sonic himself even stated that he would have to “break the cause and effect of fate” to defeat it (all this according to the JP script) It is debatable if these are all literal or figure of speech, but The Chaos Emeralds are said to be gems that can accomplish miracles on several occasions, so…maybe?

Forms:

Mewtwo:

William Afton Mewtwo:

After slaughtering exactly five children on the island he made to challenge Ash and the other elite trainers, Mewtwo would soon have an obsession with Five Nights at Freddies and due to this kill himself through burning in fire similar to his idol William Afton.

Dynamax:

Big Mewtwo. That’s it. He’s encounterable in raids and is thus useable here.

Mega Mewtwo Y:

——————————————————————————————————————

After using Mewtwonite Y to mega evolve, Mewtwo transforms into Mega Mewtwo Y, increasing all of its stats except Defense, which is lowered. It loses its previous ability and gains the ability Insomnia, which prevents nap time (my spirit Pokemon). Although in game, it can only mega evolve once per battle, in the Pokemon Adventures chapter titled Mewtwo Angered, it is revealed that Mewtwo is able to mega evolve again due to its special bond with its trainer. In the anime, Smash, Pokken and Mystery Dungeon, it is able to mega evolve at will. It can slow down its perception of time.

Mega Mewtwo X:

——————————————————————————————————————
——————————————————————————————————————

After using Mewtwonite X to mega evolve, Mewtwo transforms into Mega Mewtwo X, increasing its attack, defence, and special defence, as well as giving it the fighting type. It loses its previous ability and gains the ability Steadfast, which raises its speed each time it flinches. Although in game, it can only mega evolve once per battle, in the Pokemon Adventures chapter titled Mewtwo Angered, it is revealed that Mewtwo is able to mega evolve again due to its special bond with its trainer. Pokken implies it can transform by itself. It also lets it elastically stretch its limbs out. It even learns Psydisaster, where Mewtwo traps its foe in an alternate dimension, before punching a massive amount of psychic energy into its foe.

Shadow Mewtwo (Debatable):

——————————————————————————————————————

——————————————————————————————————————

After merging with the Shadow Synergy Stone, he became Shadow Mewtwo! With a more hostile personality Mewtwo travels the region of Ferrum draining the Synergy Power of all trainers it defeats. This power allows Mewtwo to heal itself which counteracts the Synergy Stone draining his life force as it possesses him. Early game Shadow Mewtwo can likely be used as the game makes no reference to it actively boosting his power, as it seemingly only makes him more evil. The game even makes a point about him draining trainers' energy to power up, seemingly implying the shadow stone doesn't have anything to do with it. In the finale of the game Mewtwo is defeated via the power of the synergy stone, however we see in the 2nd to last fight against him that he unleashed the power of the Shadow Synergy Stone, meaning up to that point he had only been using his own power. The only new power he seems to unlock when using the power of the Shadow Stone is Dark Nova.

Outside of the abilities of regular Mewtwo and varied fighting game variants of said moves, it can:

Can seemingly slow down Time (huh?).
Warp Space.
Mega Evolve, which removes its health draining.
Existence Erasure (debatable).
Dark Nova - A super move that destroys Earth.
Dimension creation - Called the Dark Colosseum, this possesses shards of Shadow Synergy Stones and spots that erupt with massive amounts of Synergy Power.

Shadow:

Dark Shadow:
——————————————————————————————————————

——————————————————————————————————————

A state that arises when Shadow's mind is invaded by thoughts of darkness. Upon reaching this state, he gains absolute mastery over negative Chaos energy. In this form, Shadow can execute a much more devastating Chaos Blast and wield any weapon without worrying about ammo consumption or durability wear.

This transformation only lasts for a short time, and can also manifest in his Super form.

Hero Shadow:
——————————————————————————————————————

——————————————————————————————————————

A state that arises when Shadow's mind is imbued with thoughts of justice. Upon reaching this state, he gains absolute control over positive Chaos energy. In this form, Shadow is capable of executing large-scale Chaos Control, either to multiply his speed or to slow the flow of time. Additionally, he can wield any weapon without worrying about ammunition or durability wear, and is also invulnerable.

This transformation only lasts for a brief moment, and can also manifest in his Super form.

Shadow Evolved:

Although implied to just not be useable after Black Dooms death, how could we not discuss this? The most important thing to note here is, well, if Shadow removes his inhibitors in this form, he’ll die (which sort of gives leeway to the idea that this form may be above Super Shadow).

Although nothing noteworthy, he does gain access to a variety of new techniques, such as:

Doom Spears - Chaos Spears on crack.
Doom Blast - Basically a fighting game combo.
Doom Surf - Ever seen the hit movie Surf’s Up with the GOAT Big Z?
Doom Morph - Idek what this is, he’s Spider-Man.
Doom Wing - He can fly.

Super Shadow:
——————————————————————————————————————

——————————————————————————————————————

Super Shadow requires all 7 Chaos Emeralds to transform into, however the form will give him buffs to every stat and infinite stamina. Shadow also becomes… No but seriously this is stated dozens of times.

Sonic states that the Chaos Emeralds give him “unlimited power” in his super form. (All super forms are directly comparable). The only thing that can damage a super form are powers equal to or greater than its own, as seen in the final fight with the End or The Egg Salamander.

He gains access to abilities such as:

Chaos Arrow - Chaos Spear but weaker and faster. Can be charged.
Spear of Light - Chaos Spear but smaller, grouped, and homing.
Negative Energy Nullification - As seen as early as Adventure 1, and recently with Lightman, positive energy overpowers negative.
Power Transfer - Super Sonic gave his teammates power on two separate occasions. In the fight against Solaris and Metal Over Lord. Only Knuckles and Tails didn't receive true super forms, poor things.
Chaos Regeneration - Sonic and Shadow save Cosmo from death.

The form does have a time limit via the rings, but via Shadows speed, collecting them should not be an issue.

He can even transform into hero and dark forms still, possibly multiplying his power further.
