How many Pikachus stacked up match Mewtwo?
Mewtwo measures 2 m (6.56 ft) from the ground up, and Pikachu measures 40 cm (15.7 in) from the ground up. Mewtwo comes to 5.00 times the height of Pikachu, a difference of 1.6 m (5.25 ft). Take 5 Pikachus stacked up and you land on Mewtwo almost exactly, 0 mm (0 in) short. Mewtwo is written in single metres and Pikachu in tens of centimetres, a whole band of scale apart.
| Object | Real size | Axis measured | What the figure covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mewtwo | 2 m 6.56 ft |
Height | Ground to highest point |
| Pikachu | 40 cm 15.7 in |
Height | Ground to highest point |
Both figures, Mewtwo and Pikachu, come from the Size It Up measurement set, one real-world size and one measured axis per object, last checked in September 2026; outline provenance is listed on the sources page.
Why this one is hard to judge by eye
Mewtwo is drawn about 3.30 times as wide as Pikachu as well as 5.00 times its height, so the area it takes in the frame grows faster than the figure anyone quotes. Both shapes fit in a single glance here, which ought to make 5.00 to one obvious between Mewtwo and Pikachu, and it is not: at this size the eye compares whole outlines while the figures above compare one axis.
What each figure covers
Mewtwo. Mewtwo is quoted at its official entry height, unchanged since 1996. It is taller than most people remember, because it is almost always drawn crouching.
Pikachu. Pikachu is quoted at its official entry height, unchanged since 1996. Forty centimetres is smaller than almost every drawing of it suggests.
Mewtwo and Pikachu are both quoted as a height, which is what makes the ratio above a like-for-like figure.
What else is about that size?
Measured the same way, Mewtwo at 2 m sits within a tenth of Darth Vader at 2.02 m, Master Chief at 2.18 m and Gandalf at 1.8 m. Pikachu at 40 cm has Woody at 40 cm, A3 Paper at 42 cm and Emperor Zurg at 38 cm for company, within a tenth. Swapping any of those in for Mewtwo would move its ratio to Pikachu by less than 10%.
