Honestly, Flowey didn't do all that much. He didn't have a ton of time to mess around with anyway (since the creation of the amalgamates to our timeline) and even so he just resets and lets time go without him so that he could see a new variable get added in.

And yeah, he never gets ahold of a human SOUL until we step in. Perhaps a creature without a SOUL cannot gain STATS which left Flowey as a weak vessel thing.
