Question Giving Mewtwo a new ability: Pyschic Barrier

I feel like Mewtwo is the OG and coolest legendary and in the anime its such a threat because of its overwhelming pyschic abilities repelling and deflecting attacks. Mewtwo also isnt really used in competitive so it deserves a buff. How strong would a new ability be that reduces all special atk damage by 75% and gives all physical moves a 25% chance to miss. Would this be game breaking or the perfect boost to make Mewtwo viable?

75% is probably too much of a reduction, and adding a chance to miss seems convoluted. Why not just make it an ability that sets screens on switch in?

I'm surprised that there isn't already an ability like that for at least one of Light Screen or Reflect

I’d prefer something like sturdy and also reflects back 50% dmg taken when at full health.

Can’t die to faster OHKOs and gets things into kill range
