8 Surfing Pikachu

Now if your for real with Pokemon games your starter Pokemon should be the best and I got him to learn surf from trading him into stadium 1 for n64. His other moves are dig, volt tackle and thunder.

9 Charmeleon
10 Mew Mew is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon created by Nintendo's and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. Designed by Satoshi Tajiri, it was introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. Mew is capable of learning every move in the games (except signature moves of certain Pokémon), and can shapeshift into other Pokémon species.

I love Mew, he's my favorite gen 1 Pokemon, but he's overrated. I'm sorry, but Smeargle can learn more moves that him!

Can't even be caught legibly on any game so far, that's how good it is

The Contenders
11 Shiny Charizard

Pure awesome and my fave shiny also charizard is the only secondary flying type 3rd evolution unlike all the unoriginal fire fighting.

I always had a Charmander as my starter so I always had a Charizard

12 Blastoise Blastoise, known in Japan as Kamex, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

A giant defense and atack mongul, his only probably is the low speed.

13 Arcanine Arcanine, known in Japan as Windie, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
14 Vaporeon Vaporeon, known in Japan as Showers, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
15 Poliwrath Poliwrath, known in Japan as Nyorobon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
16 Ninetales
17 Hitmonchan

Good attack, very rare and I think only obtained through stadium.

18 Dragonite Dragonite, known in Japan as Kairyu, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Basically just dragon dance once or twice then you outspd most things and hit like a truck

19 Articuno Articuno, known in Japan as Freezer, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I like articuno best because zapdos looks as flat as paper and moltres looks like a chikin that has set itself on fire

He's beast in hp and defense, the best ice types in kanto and one of my freinds trademark Pokemon.

20 Alakazam Alakazam is a Psychic-type Pokemon that was first introduced in Game Freak's Pokemon Red & Green (Blue for outside of Japan) version. Alakazam is the final evolution of the Abra line. It evolves from Kadabra when traded. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it evolves from Kadabra when given a Linking Cord. It is said to have an IQ of 5000 and is a human-like Pokemon. It has high special attack and speed, and is good for Alakazam with its poor defense & mediocre special defense. ...read more.

22 Tauros Tauros, known in Japan as Kentauros, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
