ok let me put it this way I was fighting this dude he had a level 100 shaymin with max stats and I kicked its ass using my level 89 lucario so yeah shaymin sucksI beat a level 100 Archeas (spell fail?) that didn't have any items with a level 84 Epoleon with no items. Their strenght in game doesn't matter, it's their powers on the TV show. Ironicly, you usually can't use those powers when it comes to the games. For instance, you can't travel back in time with Celeby (I think that's the Pokemon) in the main games. (Mystery Dungeon doesn't count, as *spoiler alert* you do actually do that in explorers of time and darkness.)
[senerio one] go shaymin! -i throw out shaymin- go charizard! -other guy throws out charizard- [battle over] [senerio two] go mewtwo! -i throw out mewtwo- go weavile! -other guy throws out weavile- [battle actually lasts more than one turn] ò_ô see my point?
