Giovanni & Mewtwo

The ability to max its own Crit combined with its huge Special Attack stat without the need of a Mega Evolution makes Mewtwo incredibly versatile. It can easily be slotted onto any team with even the slightest amount of Special Attacking buffing, and once it receives those buffs it puts that monstrous 440 Special Attack and dual typing to good use. The fact that it can start dealing damage so quickly without needing to Sync first is another huge strength of Mewtwo's, giving it an incredible niche as the game's finest early game Special Striker. However, despite its numerous strengths, the pair's reliance on team Support for the Special Attack buffs it needs to reach its full potential as a damage dealer and Stats that, while still extremely high, aren't quite at the world beating levels of the game's strongest Mega Evolutions keeps it just out of the highest echelon of Strikers.
