Who is better Mew or Arceus (or another)?

[Frenchfry]

If you look at the pokemon stats it is clear which is the better pokemon out of the two.

So, I guess Arceus is the stronger pokemon

Stats aren't everything. Just 'cause a pokemon that you has to hack the game to get has the highest stats doesn't mean he's the best. With Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Metal Sound, and some 'Harsh' attack reduction stat, Mew could own Arceus. Being able to learn every move has its advantages.

Mew is the ancestor of all pokemon. Arceus is a pokemon. Therefore, Arceus cannot be the "god". Arceus has bad moves. Mew, which can learn ANYHTHING at all, will own Arceus any day.

Yes, I understand what you are saying but I didn't choose because of the stats really I also looked at each Pokemon's  weaknesses yes it is true that mew can learn every move in the game and could beat arceus maybe. If you look at mew it has a few weaknesses and if you look at arceus it only has like one or two. Not to say that mew couldn't beat arceus in the game if it was trained specifically to beat an arceus. Just that even if the stats where normal mew would still have a harder time beating arceus because of it's many weaknesses. But I guess you are right on that part of what you say  mew could beat arceus if it was fair and not an arceus that has a cheat on it to max out all of it's stats.

Mew is versatile, meaning it's move pool is very fluid. It could be specifically tailored to beat Arceus, then brought to a move realearner to go back to it's orignoal set. 'Sides, the combo I mentioned could pwn just about any pokemon. And... Mew is a psycic type. Psychic types are only weak against three types. And besides, Arceus' come in every type, so in a way, Arceus is weak against every type.

Okay now I am a little confused I get that mew does have good attack because of the fact that it can learn every move but that does not mean that it can always beat arceus. It depends on what type arceus it is so no arceus is not weak against every type. Every one type of arceus has weaknesses just like an other type of pokemon would have a weakness like mew it's a psychic type as you said so it is weak against dark moves I think it is. I don't really remember if that is correct or not but I know that mew will always be weak to that type attack because of the fact that it is a psychic type pokemon.

Well, it all comes down to this:
Mew can beat arceus unless arceus is one of the three types that are strong against psychic. Three times out of seventeen [Types] Arceus can beat Mew. That means that Mew is better roughly 82.35% of the time.

[boyben10]

Mew could still beat arceus if it knows powerful supereffective moves against those types, such as Fire Blast, Focus Blast, And Sucker Punch/Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse.

Though Arceus has better stats and is supposedly a "god", I personally think Mew will own lol.

Yeah, I guess mew would win most of the time. <.< I still wonder about arceus though, why was it made to where each one has it's own type?

Probably because it was supposed to be god. They didn't want a god pokemon taking favorites in types, but they can't just slap all seventeen onto it. So they make it have the option to have each type. (Read article: Is god white?)
And because even as it is, mew is more versitile. Being limited to one type would have made mew be closer to the 'omnipotence' characteristic.

[Hova]

idk mew would probably win some of the battles and arceus would win some of the battles too

[Bananamaster]

duh people arceus can learn any move and has its own signiture move (judgement)

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Ashera from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn? Her weapon was called Judgement.

Nope he also has that move.
