95 stats across the board, you can more or less mould it to however you want. Suppose the only problem is its ability is trash and if you want to give it a typing you lose an item slot.

But I feel like at the very least the base Sylvally should be a better Pokemon than it is, doesnt Mew have the same stats?

iirc, Mew isn't broadly competitive either. As for the type change ability, Arceeus is already a thing.

Yeah it's essentially a worse Arceus. Which is actually part of its lore, it's a man-made Arceus.

It's problem it's that it's a "jack-of-all, master-of-none" which doesn't work too well in Pokemon. It doesn't fill a role which wouldn't be better filled by another Pokemon. It's ability is very limiting needing the item slot to use it and being outright useless if you don't use the item slot. It's movepool isn't very good, limiting it to being a tank without many ways to support your team or a sturdy physical attacker with only decent base attack and speed. Lastly, the memories aren't good items having no advantage other than changing it's type. At least with Arceus, the plates also improve that type's damage.

Mew may have similar stats but it also has access to so many moves, thanks to being able to learn any TM/TR, it can fill other niches. Also Mew has 100 base stats across the board.

Yeah that makes quite a bit of difference, Sylvallys movepool looks poor

it was designed by Team Aether to be able to defeat Ultra Beasts, but nothing about it really screams "I'mma beat up Ultra Beasts!!!"

I get it was a failed experiment, but still.

Nah, they planned on making a being that surpasses Mew and they succeeded.

The only failure they had was a failure to control it.

Mew and company have 100 stats across the board and balanced stats are a bad thing in pokemon. A pokemon with 95s would need a very strong ability or moveset to be useful.
