This Mewtwo battle still sticks out to me as one of the Genetic Pokémon’s best in the entire franchise alongside the first movie. It really shows that after clearing challenge after challenge, every battle harder than the last, you think you’ve won it all…then almost as if it senses you’re worthy to battle it, it’s silhouette affects the stadium around you (day turns to night) and spirits you away to another realm where there’s no announcer, no spectators, none of your friends or family in attendance to see the fight; you’re all alone with the Pokémon you won with, face-to-face with the world’s most powerful Pokémon, in an unfamiliar ethereal space. And the only way to escape is to win. All the while that intense battle music is playing in the background. I’m sure for the actual 10-year-old Pokémon trainers who’ve played this game in 2000, their hearts were just beating like drums and sweating bullets trying to use everything they’ve learned to get to this point. This was the perfect setup for the final battle in Pokémon Stadium and I’m sorry, Pokémon hasn’t been able to hold a candle to how Mewtwo was handled as it was here. Maybe Team Rainbow Rocket comes a close second but still, talk about EPIC.
I know it’s an old game but I really hate that. Would’ve been badass if they gave him some sort of special entrance but in all fairness the game was pretty good and ahead of it’s time.
My headcanon says this arena takes place in the realm of Mewtwo’s own mind. It’s so otherworldly and unlike every other area in the Pokémon world (except maybe the Distortion World in Platinum) it feels like the only place it can exist. It’s probably here where Mewtwo meditates and harnesses it’s own psychic power when it’s not battling.
Much like how Pikachu use to be chunky, Mewtwo use to have a really big head and move like some kind of alien in the older games. Now they have toned a few aspects of him down and tweaked his proportions.
Mewtwo was (and still is) DANGEROUS back in the day. R-2 is the real challenge. I ironically have a perfect IV Mewtwo in my Red copy with the same moves as such. Very fun to make mine go 1 on 1 with it. Occasionally I did beat him with rentals, but that's tricky.
Movement animations Different facial expressions various movements to reflect different moves And models with varying reactions to different environmental conditions. This is when pokemon was at its best.
As a kid, I used to play this battle and spend a lot of time doing nothing just to enjoy the extremely catchy music. As an adult, I bought it on the net and still listen to it.
"I don't think it worked so well" He says, but did you see how much RNG that was? Aside from Flash missing, all 4 Blizzards landed, confuse lasted two turns, effectively saving ditto from certain faint. Only thing that could have made this even more of a stomp is to freeze hax him with the first two blizzards.
in Gen 1 Blizzard has 90% being the highest accuracy on a move with 120 Base Power, also Dittos work best when Mewtwo is sleeping or after paralyzing him sacrificing the previous mon to guarantee Ditto will transform before Mewtwo can attack him.
I never beat Pokemon Stadium as a kid, and I probably never will. Probably because I didn't complete the GBA games and just stuck with rentals. In fact, when I first saw this years later, I thought it was a ROM hack.
Haha its a clasic move or strategy i always did in this game as child whitout knowing anything english xD To do paralyze every enemy pokemon to get the first turn priority I did it with raichu paralyze 😅 -Mewtwo looks so bad ass here -i still dont know how the hell i could beat it when i had 13 years 🤣
Can you re challenge Mewtwo in Round 1 at any time after beating it, or do you have to clear Round 2 and unlock that Mewtwo battle in order to challenge it again?
You can rematch Mewtwo in either round as you wish, you can toggle between round 1 and 2 to your desire if you unlocked round 2 and Mewtwo always stays
I am thinking about my strategy when I've beaten Mewtwo with an Electrode (Thunderwave, Flash) and a Rattata with Super Fang and Quick Attack... but something is missing in this strategy... tried it about 2 years ago and it worked everytime. Guess I have to start my N64 again^^
Same I did but used Magnemite Used ⚡ 🌊 first next Supersonic to confuse it then flash to blind him and last all thunder attacks afterwards funny how mewtwo is actually Weak against Thunder Attacks Mew is two
Sooo it says its impossible to beat him using rentals, but I lost both crystal and blue version and I don't have the Gameboy transfer pak. Well I hop gengar can put up with him
I did it with rentals, 1) Electrode 2) Tentacruel 3) Persian 4) Ditto 5-6) don't really matter Electrode to paralyze Tentacruel to lower defenses Persian to confuse and hyper beam And ditto in case Persian falls
@@allingbrodniak8819 yeah the easiest way to beat R1 mewtwo with rentals is to just paralyze it with electrode then go ham from there my favorite way is paralyzing it, then getting ninetales to lower its defense with tail whip, explode an exeggcute and an onix, then if need be, finish it with a Rhydon's earthquake
@@EmmureMARIO64 Gen 1 was weird Types are what determined if it was physical or special Special counted as both Sp atk and Sp Def Speed affected crit rate
@@thend4427Abra has thunder wave and psychic, so you can hope for a spe def drop which won't go away with Rest. Drowzee has Seismic Toss. I won't lie on the fact that it took more than one attempt but it is doable lol
Question: Does Mewtwo becomes a selectable Pokémon after you beat him without losing once?? (Just wondering because Pokémon Stadium was recently added to Nintendo Switch Online)
I remember making it this far and i almost lost i had just snorlax and electrode i use self destrust on mewto then snorlax came out then mewtwo use rest it was so close i wom wit hyperbeam and mewteo fell finally after beating all 5 of my pokemon
@@wsjkr0790 Yep it's the base game on hard mode the opponents use better strategies, have use of EVs, have stronger pokemon than they originally had, etc. Beat GLT and the cups again and you can face Mewtwo who is even harder than this version
@@RinaShinomiyaVal no, M C is correct in this game (and all gen 1 games) light scren and reflect only work for the pokemon that used it (it lasts until the pokemon faints or is switched out) usually it would only last 5 turns but there was no message that it wore off after 5 turns

Amen
Man I love how this battle in particular has no announcer, it makes it so personal feeling
Why sorry?
Using Ditto against a confused Mewtwo was pretty smart.
ikr? I bet that confused the fker even more
Kinda funny that Mewtwo is a trainer that sends itself to the battle (even with a poké ball)
I know right. It doesn't make sense, even though it is technically a Pokémon.
It's because it rebelled against humans in the first Pokémon movie.
@@Deutriex but it's in a pokeball
Yeah, it sure looks odd. I would have preferred if Mewtwo were to magically appear with the poké ball animation. Just without the poké ball.
I know it’s an old game but I really hate that. Would’ve been badass if they gave him some sort of special entrance but in all fairness the game was pretty good and ahead of it’s time.
This battlefield...it feels as though it exists on the boundary between waking up for school and dreaming about the world to come...

Funny to see Ditto (a possibly failed clone of mew) defeating Mewtwo (the most succsesful clone of mew).

Mewtwo looks so much cooler here then in the 3ds games!
Even the cries for each Pokémon from this game and Pokémon Stadium 2 are way cooler than those from the 3DS.
Of course. Gen 1 was his prime.

There are stadium hacks now that take the Mewtwo Challenge far beyond this challenge .
This is such a cakewalk now compare to the hack stadium games
Ah erika gave me so much trouble in pokemon stadium
@@bryanc1772 which one?
god, this theme never gets old.
This soundtrack was FIRE
Movement animations
Different facial expressions various movements to reflect different moves
And models with varying reactions to different environmental conditions.
This is when pokemon was at its best.
Even if the battle itself wasn't the greatest spectacle in the world, that was still a solid strategy. Well played.
@Bowen Kendall You really believe those scams?
As a kid, I used to play this battle and spend a lot of time doing nothing just to enjoy the extremely catchy music.

Can we agree that Mewtwo is Sephiroth for Pokémon?
yep
but... who could be Cloud?
@@bamama1365 Pikachu? lol
@@mariogarv lol makes sense
@@bamama1365 Mew.
No. Literally not a single thing in common
I love how Mewtwo throws itself out of a pokeball
Its biggest flex
It is its own master
I was raised by pokemon stadium. I never made it to this point but this battle makes mewtwo so menacing than in other games.
He doesn't dissappear he blends in with sky but you can rematch him any time
Wait seriously I didn't know that.
How has this battle theme NEVER been re-used as Mewtwo's theme?
There's a lot of pretty cool stuff in this game that they just never bothered to bring back. Like the remastered Pokémon cries.
@@HKip because this game and stadium 2 wasnt made by nintendo or gamefreak
When a 22 year old game looks better than a game on a console with enough space to send a rocket to the moon a hundred times
What game do you mean? Halo Infinite?
@@SaneZoomer we might never know but he could be referring to Sword and Shield or something like that
It's remarkable how Sword and Shield can look worse than Pokemon's earliest forays into 3D.
Not gonna lie... I was rooting for Mewtwo on that one
So was I. Too bad the AI is awful. I would of used rest if my mewtwo was half weak.
@@Firewolt Mewtwo didn’t feel like sleeping
When I was a child and stumbled across this battle for the first time, I ice slapped mewtwo and froze him solid. It was a gg2ez on accident
Well, using Ditto is at least more creative then the 'spam-OHKO-moves-after-paralysis' strat...
Not as good for speed runs OHKO is best for that
These games were fantastic.
Thank you so much for helping me beat him.
Wait... if Mewtwo came out of a Poke Ball, who was its "owner"?
"I don't think it worked so well" He says, but did you see how much RNG that was?

Only thing that could have made this even more of a stomp is to freeze hax him with the first two blizzards.
Blizzard only has a 10% chance of missing so I wouldn't say 4 blizzards hitting is that lucky
in Gen 1 Blizzard has 90% being the highest accuracy on a move with 120 Base Power, also Dittos work best when Mewtwo is sleeping or after paralyzing him sacrificing the previous mon to guarantee Ditto will transform before Mewtwo can attack him.
Dirty and Meowtoo throwing Kamehamehas to each other, but without the drama...
Dirty lol
Electrodes eyes pop out at 1:27
put 25x speed
Ikr this game sucks
I beat only rentals too
Could have used tail whip a few times so he would punish himself for messing up. Or hyper beam with mr mime for a nice spectacle lol
Um did you know Reflect's effect lift out if the user switches out, it only applied to the user rather than your entire team in Gen 1
kame-hame-ha
:D
More care and attention went into these models then all of the mainline 3d games combined.
Not combined. Please not this again…

Classic Game classic battle I remember when I was a kid Mewtwo literally KO my whole team that had 6 Pokémon
Mewtwo be like
"I am my own master"
I found it funny that most of these sprites were reused in colosseum and XD but makes sense as Nintendo owns both series as well as Pokémon itself
God this theme right here is the best Mewtwo's ever goten, sure the one from origins is good but pales in comparison to this
Haha its a clasic move or strategy i always did in this game as child whitout knowing anything english xD
To do paralyze every enemy pokemon to get the first turn priority
I did it with raichu paralyze 😅
-Mewtwo looks so bad ass here
-i still dont know how the hell i could beat it when i had 13 years 🤣
Can you re challenge Mewtwo in Round 1 at any time after beating it, or do you have to clear Round 2 and unlock that Mewtwo battle in order to challenge it again?
I’m pretty sure you only get it once in at least around 1
You can always battle him in Round 1, you only have to clear Round 2 to unlock the second battle
You can rematch Mewtwo in either round as you wish, you can toggle between round 1 and 2 to your desire if you unlocked round 2 and Mewtwo always stays
Spam Pokémon that know Explosion and Self-Destruct.
Electrode, radicate and beedril is all I needed, after trial and error finding them that is
Are Crazy Using Your Ditto To Fight Mewtwo?!
no
That would be awesome though

I did it with rentals,
1) Electrode
2) Tentacruel
3) Persian
4) Ditto
5-6) don't really matter
Electrode to paralyze
Tentacruel to lower defenses
Persian to confuse and hyper beam
And ditto in case Persian falls
@@allingbrodniak8819 yeah the easiest way to beat R1 mewtwo with rentals is to just paralyze it with electrode then go ham from there
my favorite way is paralyzing it, then getting ninetales to lower its defense with tail whip, explode an exeggcute and an onix, then if need be, finish it with a Rhydon's earthquake
Since when does Mewtwo know blizzard/thunder?!
Since a good time
Mewtwo can learn a lotta special moves
@@notshockwavedemon7543 a Persian knows bubblebeam and thunder too?!
@@EmmureMARIO64 Gen 1 was weird
Types are what determined if it was physical or special
Special counted as both Sp atk and Sp Def

Sounds weird with no commentator
_What's the matter, Trainer?_
True, but the fact that happens with Mewtwo shows that he's a real force to be reckoned with.
Mewtwo's portrait looks kinda creepy in this game...*shudder*
Well that's how he is supposed to look and not like today with his feminine appearence and the stupid mega evolutions.
@@vincentrodriguez3420 exactly
Well, duh. It's MEWTWO, the OG one, not how the modern games portrayed that Pokémon.
Useing rentles agasnt mewtwo is never recamended.
But if you can do it it does prove your a skilled pokemon master
Thumbs up for good usage of moves.
So Mewtwo puts himself in the pokeball and tosses himself...?
the mewtwo battle feels like dragon quest boss remix
So damn nostalgic.

Why haven't any of the new consoles made a Pokémon fighting game like the style of dragon ball z. Where they can do areal battle
I beat my friends 100 mewtwo with a 97 giratina in pokemon black...
Easy way to beat Mewtwo is to not fight it head on but to paralyze it and use horn drill
Nice battle
Wow 10 years!
Still better than fighting it in cerulean cave amiright?
I guess the reason why there's no announcer is maybe it's worthy for those "Let's Play" videos so anyone can comment on that. But maybe it's just me.
or maybe because the announcer didnt want to be in... (where the hell they battle?), and then, he just let you go alone
It doesn't talk in this battle
Theme is fire 🎶
It has AMNESIA IN THE REMATCH (boosts special)
Maxed-out stats too.
I would think Mewtwo is the hardest to beat (even R-2).
So how do you get MewTwo to spawn? I've beaten the champion, won the ultra cup, etc. But idk what triggers it
Dead Account Win the Ultra Ball version of the Poké Cup and Prime Cup and win the Pika Cup and Petit Cup along with the entirety of Gym Leader Castle.
Is this choice scarf Ditto or why is it faster?
This is Gen I.
@@AntoRetroGamer that means what?
Held items started in Gen II. Ditto copies Mewtwo's stats when using Transform.

Mewtwo was easy as fuck to beat. Use Articuno and use mirror move against mewtwo, one hit ko
Eh? Mewtwo had Amnesia in this game, why didnt he have it?
Hard as crap, though.
