Mega Alakazam vs Mewtwo (Y)?

So lately I haven’t had the chance to relax due to my work, and tonight, after what felt like a month, I managed to get some duels done.I did 18 matches with 16 different people on the PSS.

5 of them had anAlakazamthatwould mega evolve during the fight.Now, I know that technicallyMewtwois a legendary, and a really strong one, so using him is kinda cheating, butis there a specific reason as to why people use (mega) Alakazam over Mewtwo?I mean, it’s debatable, but even regular Mewtwo would be a better option in regard of stats, movepool and versatility as opposed to Mega Alakazam, and that’s without even considering the Ymega evolution.

So what do you guys think?Could you spare some time to enlighten me about this?

Ok here’s what I know, Mega-Alakazam is actually faster than Mega-Mewtwo Y and also if you look, while M-Mewtwo Y has crazy high SpAtk most his Psychic moves are some form of status. As far as Abilities go, I sorta prefer Trace over Insomnia because it can alert you to Pokemon with multiple good abilities and sometimes give away a Pokemon’s EV’s and set via the ability. Alakazam also gets some good Egg moves. Alakazam also gets Bug, Fighting, Dark, Ghost, Dream Eater, AND Fairy moves. Alakazam is a bit better in my opinion.

EDIT: M-Mewtwo Y is in Ubers while M-Alakazam is in BL making it useable in OU tiers. Also, like you said Mewtwo is a legend, and rumors about the fact that M-Mewtwo may get banned (Ridiculous speed and special attack.)
