No. Mewtwo was the undisputed king of Gen 1. The runner-up was Tauros.

Depends if you are playing DURING Gen 1 or not, as the rules were different back then

Define better. There were cooler Pokemon, but Mewtwo was the strongest.

He was intentionally made to be the most powerful poke back then.

Amnesia was something scary in the colorless gameboy days, especially when the only the mon garunteed to outrun him was Electrode. He was arguably more broken than Mega RayRay until gen 2.

I guess the only gen 1 pokemon that can really manhadle him gen 2 onward would be Mew, that is, until Mega Stones reared their ugly heads...

But Mew is legendary/mythical, so your answer is still a resounding "No".

Not really. Even without Amnesia, Mewtwo can KO Tauros with 2 non-critical Psychics *and* Mewtwo has the speed advantage. For Tauros to win, he'd have to paralyze on his first Body Slam and then crit on a Hyperbeam afterward. Or, conversely, if Mewtwo didn't KO off 2 psychics (meaning it'd hit the lower end of the damage, wouldn't hit the 10% special lowering effect, and wouldn't critical), he'd have to paralyze on a second Body Slam then Hyper Beam the next turn (or just hope that he could hit a critical Hyperbeam on his second turn).

Tauros might win 1/5 vs Mewtwo.

Alakazam is the same as Mewtwo in that it's a sweeping Psychic type, but it has all around inferior stats, and an even more inferior movepool. There's no debate on whose the superior poke aside from aesthetic preferance.

Tauros? I think Zeus provide an effective in-depth explination as to why Tauros is likely to lose most 1on1s against Mewtwo. Tauros over depending on the RNG and losing more than 3/4 of the time is not "****ing on Mewtwo". He'd have more luck Horndrilling him, and that still wouldn't take him to 50/50 let alone edge out over him.

Sure, but the question is, "Are there any non-legendary gen 1 Pokemon better than Mewtwo?", and Alakazam is strictly worse than Mewtwo since he serves the same role but with weaker stats. And, given Alakazam's stats, Tauros would likely win most matches against him (mostly because Alakazam is less likely to 2hko and Tauros can easily 2hko) whereas Tauros would lose most of the time vs Mewtwo.

Horn Drill wouldn't work at all. Under gen 1 mechanics, you needed to have higher speed than your target and Mewtwo is faster than Tauros.

Alakazam (or "Fu-Manchu" as I like to nickname him) has always been one of my favorites pokes.

@Zeus Whoops, I was typing that up as you posted it. Thanks.

Overlooking Helly completely shitposting about Pokemon (yet another subject he apparently knows nothing about), there's some irony in him of all people suggesting that somebody should be ignored. Doubly so in that he has 50+ accounts just to prevent people from ignoring him.
