If Mewtwo is the Clone of Mew, why is it before Mew in the Pokedex ?

The reason is that mew was originally supposed to be a secret, even unknown to many people in nintendo. So to keep it a secret they had it last in the pokedex. It wouldnt be a secret if there was a space in the pokedex going from 149(dragonite) to a space(mew) to 151 (mewtwo). So they did it to hide mew’s existence until it was revealed and released as an event. Another reason is that mew is event exclusive and all event exclusive Pokemon come last in the pokedex for their respective generation with the exception of vicitni.Source:http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew
Scientists couldn’t prove Mew was real until they successfully cloned it, so Mewtwo was recorded first.
