Best Pokemon
THIS LIST IS TO RANK POKEMON ... HOW FAMOUS AND LIKED THEY ARE... HOW GAMERS THINK OF THEM.. HOW EFFICIENT THEY ARE FOR A POKEMON JOURNEY.. HOW POWERFUL THEY ARE...The Top Ten

Charizard is an overrated lizard, the only advantage is two mega evolutions and flight. Lucario on the other hand, sir Erin chose lucario not charizard
Oh, Charizard... where to start? Charizard is SO weak. I use one single Hyperbeam, and he faints. Sure, he looks cool when you fly him, but I would say he is the definition of overrated in Pokemon. He is the evolved form of a STARTER. You guys, he is not good so stop treating him like he is so good. If you use your Z-power against Charizard, he's doomed. Sure he looks a little cool, like a fire dragon, but believe me, just get to know him and you won't even think about catching one. I would decline getting a Charmander just because I know it will evolve into this overrated orange blob.
Charizard is good but Mewtwo and Arceus are way better. Mewtwo is faster and Arceus can banish it.
Seriously! charizard is such a bad pokemon and even venasurs can beat him! I have a lv 1 darkrai and beat a lv 100 charizard! its completely useless without its mega evos and ashes charizard doesn't even listen to him! that indicates ash is a weak trainer and a little kid

Seriously!? How is Mewtwo all the way down here? It NEEDS to be further up.
Mewtwo is considered a Pokemon, even though he was a scientific experiment clone of Mew. Mew is not nearly as strong as Mewtwo. If they both fought to the death, Mewtwo would have had a hard fight, but come out victorious. He, like Arceus, can copy any technique.
Mew two is more powerful than mew and mew can learn any move and teleport and stuff so mewtwo must be the strongest except maybe kyurem or celebs but mewtwo is probably stronger than celebi even when celebi was encased in the giant grass monster
Mewtwo is a way more better than all the pokemon characters

Hey people, we mean top 10 STRONGEST Pokemon not cutest, besides, Teddiursa's MUCH cuter, I mean just because Ash has one doesn't mean it's good, and At least pick Raichu over Pikachu, I mean RESHIRAM AND ARTICUNO ARE BEHIND PIKACHU!
Pikachu is the first Pokemon that Ash obtained and will always be one of his most loyal Pokemon. He has been through the whole series and will never be forgotten in Pokemon history.
Seriously people, why is pikachu over reyquaza mew lugia the three legendary dogs dialga reshiram and every other amazing pokemon. I mean, at least pick raichu... I mean, I love pikachu too, but it's not a very good pokemon. This list isn't for the cutest pokemon, or your favorites, it's for actually good pokemon.
Uh excuse me, but whoever said Pikachu isn't good, SO NOT TRUE!
Pikachu is really powerful and adorable. Super hard to find AND hard to catch. Face it, whether you like it or not, Pikachu will ALWAYS be one of the best.

Arceus is the god of Pokemon. He did create all Pokemon (except Mewtwo), as well as both Pokemon Trios: Creation Trio (Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina) as well as the Weather Trio (Rayquaza, Kyogre, and Groudon). He can also change his type. He has more than 1,000 forms, and he can copy any technique using Judgement.
He have life plates to protect him from every attack. Only a pokemon which can use a lot of different elemental moves E. G regigigas can defeat him
THE GOD OF ALL Pokemon! Arceus came I think too soon, but still awesome. Uber strong and needs to be featured in Pokemon tcg soon.
Look at it this way, Arceus created all Pokémon. Mew did not necessarily create all Pokémon because it has it’s DNA. What’s possible if Arceus created Mew and other Pokémon, Mew would have the DNA of Arceus and the others. Apart from why Arceus came first, it’s better. I mean 120 all stats! It’s amazing and the plates help it so much. This is truly the god, the first, and the best.

Technically, Mew and Arceus are possibly the first two Pokemon in existence. Arceus did create the Pokemon world, however mew has the DNA of all Pokemon, and in the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Pokedex, it said that it is possibly the ancestor of all Pokemon. It also means that it possibly made all Pokemon, alongside with Arceus because of it's ability to transform, and use any move in the games (With the exception of draco meteor and secret sword). In the actual world, however, it may be possible for it to use every move we know of today.
My favorite tiny legendary. This Pokemon kicks ass! It can learn any move and it's strong!
Mew is the best Pokemon in the world. Why isn't it number one?
Most powerful of all Pokémon it should be 1. Why would anything else be 1. Mew cannot be defeated.
V 14 Comments
Rayquaza is by far the most superior Pokemon. Its mega evolution has a 780 base stat total which is tied with Mega Mewtwo for the highest stat total in world. On top of that, Rayquaza is the only Pokemon that can mega evolve without holding a mega stone. Because of this, Rayquaza can hold powerful items such as a focus sash or a life orb while in its mega evolve state.
It has the highest base stat, doesn't need a mega stone, delta stream rocks, and dragon ascent kills all! Like it was able to take on Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre by itself in the past and they are seriously sick themselves. I don't see why it's not #1 or at least #2 behind Mewtwo.
Rayquaza is number 1 of the Weather Trio, relating to Air-type attacks.
Reqeaza is live in speas

Eevee is a really cool Pokemon that can evolve into different Pokemon depending on your strategy. For example if you need a Psychic type to beat your friend, evolve it into Espeon!
Yes this is the best pokemon ever! The makers of eevee really said " let's make a pokemon everyone will go aw at! " Seriously my uncle helped design most pokemon!
How could you not like it? My game has an ARMY of Eevee lead by a lv. 100 shiny! In my opinion, Eevee is the most unpredictable pokemon when it comes to evolving and the list keeps on growing! Cute, lovable, strong and VERY useful.
Who doesn't love a cute and adorable Pokemon that an be used in multiple ways Serena used it great in the anime and people can use its eeveelution in so many ways one of my favorite eeveelutions is sylveon it just so cute ~Ryan xoxo

Dragonite is a great Pokemon. It has the 2nd highest base stat total of all non-legendary Pokemon, second to Slaking. But, considering that Slaking's terrible ability, Truant, doesn't allow him to attack twice in a row, Dragonite can safely be considered the better Pokemon. Dragonite has an excellent movepool, including attacks such as Dragon Dance, Outrage, Thunder, Earthquake, Surf, Fire Blast, Aerial Ace, Focus Blast and Rock Slide just via TM and levelling. Via tutoring and egg moves, it can learn Ominous Wind, Draco Meteor, Aqua Tail, Heat Wave, Iron Head, Superpower and Dragon Rush. Pretty amazing.
Dragonite is the best. Apart from the 12 legendary pokemon ahead of him, his base stats are higher than all (but one: Slaking. Really? Slaking? ) other pokemon (beating out several other legendaries as well)
Question. Why is dragonite so far down. it can beat a lot of legendaries. Still, charizard is better, but this Pokemon should be second. Eevee and seperior shouldn't even be up there. Dragonite is the best Pokemon, trust me, - joon2468
Seriously he is better than charzard and evee and mew so shut up

Lugia stays underwater most of the time because he is so powerful. It is said that an offensive flap of his wings can cause a hurricane that may last for 40 days. Not to mention he is one of the most beautiful Pokemon around.
This thing walls attacks like no other, while still managing to have great speed and decent offenses.
How can this powerhouse be out of this list.
Anybody that believed in Christianity definitely would love the Tower Duo, which is Lugia and Ho-Oh. Lugia creating 40 day storms represents the 40 day storm that happened during Noah’s time, and Ho-Oh represents the rainbow after. Amazing pokemon!

Lucario kicks butt and a lot of the things you would think fighting and steel types would be bad against lucario isn't and his mega evolution. Lucario is truly a beast
Pikachu is above Lucario...SURPRISING. What's not surprising is how much money you can save by switching to Geico.
Lucario kicks but I think it should be higher ranked even though I love rayquaza to it would be no match Lucario I have killed thousands using him there is no match for him even against arceus Mewtwo and rayquaza you wan't a good reliable and extremely powerful Pokemon with a good move pool this is it
Bow before lucario strongest Pokemon in the world
Lucario is the Japanese name for a mythical metal. He is based off of an egyptian god, and jackel, and a fighter. I don’t think any other Pokémon is as cool of powerful as lucario.
V 20 CommentsThe Contenders

Great pokemon. May not have the best designed mega, and is definitely not in the top 20 most powerful pokemon. But in my opinion he is the best, At least I don't excessively hype Charizard like a nostalgia blinded fanboy
My favorite starter was always Squirtle, but I like Blastoise better. Strong, Mega, and can destroy steel with ease. Look it up.
I love turtle Pokemon! - anthonyj
I love blastoise, I bet he can kill a charizard.I am so desbert to get blastoie I reley what him. He would be amazing in a water fight.

Great speed and one of the best abilities in the game in protean turns this Pokemon into a wrecking ball, able to wreak havoc on any unprepared team.
I think greninja should be higher cause his attack and speed is op
One of the best X and Y Pokemon. Needs to be higher

I love Darkrai. He's the only Pokemon who can give bad dreams, he has a great movepool like Double Team, Nasty Plot, Dream Eater, Dark Pulse, Quick Attack, and Nightmare. But the main reason I love Darkrai is in the anime. In the 10th movie The Rise of Darkrai, Darkrai was considered evil by everyone in Alamos Town. Earlier in time, Darkrai suffered from injuries and wa sprobably caused by Pokemon who thought he was a threat. So Alice's grandmother saw what happened and helped the poor thing. When Dialga and Palkia started brawling near Alamos Town, the entire elements of space and time were starting to evaporate. So Darkrai decided to save Alamos Town and his only friend. And he guarded the town with his life by trying to stop Dialga and Palkia from ruining everything. Dialga and Palkia were fighting each toher at the beginning, but later in the fight they start fighting together. Darkrai still fought on. But he was destroyed when Roar of Time and Spacial Rend both hit him. He ...more - bubbles1111
Darkrai... Oh yes, get yourself a Lum Berry when your against this dude! With a Nasty Plot/Dark Void/Dark Pulse combo, he will actually rip through the toughest of team's. Take Lance, for example. - Pokeman
Darkrai is the only Pokemon that can put Pokemon to sleep and inflicts damage and you should see him in the Pokemon movies. So awesome!. I think he should be first
The movie makes me cry every time

Everything's good about this fat, amazing Pokemon. - michealbaldon
So relax is epic, he can beat Pokemon up to 15 levels greater to him because of his high hp, attack, and defense, opponent still too strong? Just use yawn, they are asleep and you get free hits for 2-6 turns, I used to underestimate normal type Pokemon, but snorelax makes normal types seen strong.
I voted on this to say this thing is crappy. I kill it with one hit with my level one diglett!
This is the greatest non legendary pokemon on my snorlax I have rest,earthquake, sleep talk and ice beam. haha I can knock you out when I sleep :D

His evil grin is a warning not to mess with him, lest you eat one of his powerful shadow balls.
A host that eats yo dreams
Eyyy ma boi gengar
best

What? To low squirtle should be higher. I love love love love him. Me and my sister love squirtle he is awesome. One of the best Pokemon and starter Pokemon too.
Squirtle is my favorite Pokémon! Fennekin is the cutest but Squirtle is the best!

Oshuwatt and dewott are cats!
the best - DarylComix

It's an onion fairy- what's not to love?
This onion fairy is the best
Time travel dudes!

My very first Pokemon I got in my very first game I couldn't leave this one out the top 10.
Same Piplup and Platinum 4evah!

Okay... this is stupid. Pikachu better than all of these others? No...
Pikachu is awful
Tyranitar has one of the coolest designs in the game, and an awesome ability. He also has an enormous movepool, great bulk, and fantastic offenses. His one weakness is a low speed stat, which can be remedied by dragon dance or rock polish
I think this is popularity order, so I can understand Pikachu, oh wait, never mind
He is cool...ytu67e5ueq534rg

I was having a rather interesting internal monologue debating whether I should vote for Bob Saget or Jerry Seinfeld, but after some time, I came up with an effective conclusion: Bob Saget is obviously the best choice for a starter. Bob Saget's pure fire typing removes the threat of psychic types (take that, stupid Emboar and Blaziken), and is very impactful against grass types. Seriously, Bob Saget sweeps grass types like OXI CLEAN removes grass stains. Billy Mays would be proud. Next is the design; I think Bob Saget looks like the amalgamation of magnificence with his blue fur and fuzzy sweaters. He is supposed to look like a honey badger, while also conveying the true Full House essence we all know and love. Bob Saget's moveset certainly isn't lacking, with the killer Eruption and Flamethrower by his side. He can up his defense a bit, but that's definitely forvigable. Overall, Typhlo- I mean Bob Saget, is the one of best.
Typhlosion is number 1. Charizard is so overrated and how is this below eevee
My first pokemon ever I made a good choice when I was seven.
He sapost to be number 3

As number 1 of the Creation Trio, Dialga controls time. He can reverse time, or even make someone say something again! As number 1 of the Sinnoh Trio, Dialga controls time. He can reverse time, or even make someone say something again!
I like dialga because he was like the first legendary I captured in diamond, and he has roar of time.
Has The Best Move Ever! Roar Of Time
Dialga should be in top 5. He is awful
V 3 Comments
Palkia controls space as number 2 of the Creation Trio. He can create rifts in time and basically teleport himself or other Pokemon to his desired location.
List does not complete without him.

How could all these Pokemon be higher than Reshiram? Besides Rayquaza every Pokemon higher than Reshiram on this list can't even reach the Standard Tier of play! This is a list of BEST Pokemon, not cutest or most iconic, so actually vote for your BEST Pokemon, okay. I mean, having Pikachu higher than Reshiram is just messed up, honestly!
Awesome I love This one it is the best
Awesome Type Combination and Awesome Base Stats.
How can people not vote for it?
IDIOTS!

Pokemon Pearl was my first Pokemon game, and my starter was Piplup. As soon as it made its final evolution, Empoleon, I never let this Pokemon leave my party. He is so powerful and has the intimidating look of the king of the oceans.

The 600 total base stat doesn't even begin to describe its awesomeness. Its attack can go as high as 405 with the right nature, IVs and EVs, and its defenses are impenetrable thanks to the perfect steel/psychic combination it is. Only ground and fire attacks are 2x effective, but with its superior defenses even those won't do too much damage. It is 2x resistant to Normal, Flying, Rock, Steel, Grass, Ice and Dragon attacks, 4x against psychic attacks even.
Metagross even makes an awesome brooaar noise when it's taking a dump and it is rumoured it was the first pokémon to cross the Atlantic in a sailing ship, a plane, while swimming (even though it can't surf) and even on foot on the bottom of the ocean.
Yes.
Let THAT soak in.
Its one of the best steel type Pokemon on the Pokemon world and pesos legendary - anthonyj
Metagross truly deserves to be in the top ten. Besides being THE strongest steel pokemon in the entire pokedex, it is also capable of several psychic attacks.
Along with these points metagross is capable of attaks like meteor mash and earthquake - attacks which can take down even legendary pokemon in a single move.
Oh yeah, important point - Steel is by far the strongest type in terms of defense and metagross is THE SRTONGEST STEEL POKEMON.

How is this pokemon so far down the list? Ihad Snivy as a starter and raised it to a level 71 Serperior and took it to the Pokemon championships, it totally kicks ass! - Speedy97
I had 4 serperior's and made it to 100
My favorite starter is snivy. I'm actually surprised that it is in the top 20 though. I thought it was the least popular of the unova starters and possibly one of the least popular starters in general.
I honestly want the mega evolution to be a grass and...fire.

How the hell is dis DOWN HERE?
I used to kick Pokemon asses straight through with my Blaze (its nickname).
The best fire starter. Maybe the best starter ever!
Please vote dis totally epic Pokemon up...
I have a blaziken level 100 and its really good. Besides rayquaza
I love his stance and the idea, to me this Pokemon is like the wise owl of the Pokemon world
Blaziken was pretty much my childhood kickass friend.

The destruction Pokemon what is not to like about Yveltal. It looks good shiny and normal and is awesome in Pokemon tcg too.
Yveltal is seriously the best Pokemon, come on
He should be number one

Giratina is number 3 of the Creation Trio. He doesn't control time or space, but antimatter. It's like a weaker version of space combined with a weaker version of time.
He is an awesome looking Pokemon, has such great moves, like shadow force, and he has so many great references. Whats not to love?
Wow, This Is An Awesome, Cool, Epic Pokemon With A Very Good Move; Shadow Claw!
Giratina is the best Pokèmon. I could go on for hours about how much I love the Renegade Pokèmon, but here's the short form.
Typing: Ghost-Dragon is an awesome typing (not as much in battle, but still) and Giratina pulls it off flawlessly. I can also see this Pokèmon as a Dark-Dragon, and my favourite types are Dragon, Ghost, and Dark. Guess who was happy when I found her (or him...Giratina is genderless, and I am not calling my favourite Pokèmon IT.).
Name: Giratina. Sounds otherworldly and awesome.
Battle: Shadow Force and the Griseous Orb. I love switching and messing around with other teams.
Design: Enough said.

Great attack great move set horrible pre-evolution

Like I said I like turtle Pokemon - anthonyj
BEST ever! I always use this in Platinum!
He's my starter in diamond (turtwig)
The first pokemon I got was a cute turtwig now I have a kickass torterra. He's the one who got me to start playing pokemon games.

Come on everybody loves mudkip this is huskymudkipz favorite Pokemon lol - venomouskillingmachine

My favorite Pokémon INSANE attack stat and it has a unique typing.
SCIZOR IS KICKASS don't BE HATING

Garchomp is supper powerful
Garchomp is the heart and soul of all Pokemon games
Awesome can beat any dragon Pokemon
Earthquake you Pokemon is dead

Porygon. Introduced in Red/Blue. He's AWESOME. I claim him for having actually 3 types: Normal, Psychic, and Electric. It has one of the rare attacks: Tri-Attack which only a few pokemon can learn (they are all 2 headed pokemon) but porygon is not 3 headed. The only reason I didn't put Porygon2 or Z is because I never had them. SO here he is.
Pikachu banned it from the anime. It's sad :( - Maplestrip
Way better than jigglypuff
It's pikachu fault for blowing up the missile a d caused the light stroke. Poor porgon😯 - anthonyj

Bulbasaur and power whip period
Bulbasaur is my homie.
Even a level 5 Bulbasaur Can beat a level 100 charissard. #TEAMBULBASAUR for the win!
He is almost my favorite started in so gens! by the way, it's the (scientifically proven) best started to chose in Kanto. Go watch Erizyo!


Clearly most of the people voting on this list are just basing their vote off of nostalgia, and not the competitive value of the Pokemon. That being said, Salamence has a fantastic base stat total of 600 and excels in Attack and Speed, making him a fast physical sweeper. He can learn some great moves like Outrage, Dragon Claw, Draco Meteor, Earthquake, Iron Tail and the list goes on. Bottom line, he is the best. Oh, and he has a boss Mega Evolution.
#34? Really? It should be in the top 5 AT LEAST! Salamence's stats are superb, and this is one heck of a sweeper. Even if you are not into competitive battling, you need this Pokémon.
I choose poke'mon based on appeal. Salamence looks awful, its aren't aerodynamically designed and its is too wide. I don't care if it's a psuedo Legend, it looks poorly. It's mega doesn't help it aesthetically.

What why is he down here he's the best my friend and me vs each other and I won with this thing it is boss truly
I love Zekrom. All time favorite and can't stop him from being my fave. His stats and ability are OP too.
The Very Best Sweeper.
29th? He should be first!

Jigglypuff is, in my opinion, the BEST Pokemon ever. Oh well. Haters gonna hate.
Jigglypuff used pound! Hater fainted!
It's so strong, if this cutie sleeps next to you, PREPARE TO BE BLASTED OFF THE PLANET!
Purin!
V 1 CommentCome on that mouth for mega

This is one of the best starter evolutions in existence. How is this #39 instead of in the top 10?
BEST THING EVER!
SCEPTILE! AWESOME GRASS STARTER INTRODUCED IN Ruby/Sappire. To me he was like Grass/Dragon type. Why? Because he could possibly learn 4 of them: Dragon Claw, Dragonbreath, Outrage, and Dragon Pulse. The perfect starter! In the first pokemon game I ever played, Treeko was the first pokemon I ever had!

Crobat should be higher
It's quick and it's poisonous


OH. EM. GEE. How the heck is this thing not number one! Because of this grave flaw, I will go over all the things that make it number one.
First let's go over those stats. Those beautiful, beautiful stats. 150 Sp. Attack and fabulous defenses are all Kyogre needs to demolish the other team. Really, the only "problem" with Kyogre's stats is its 90 speed, which can easily be fixed with a fashionable Choice Scarf if you want Kyogre to outspeed stuff.
Next, its moves. Not much to choose from, but enough to make it work. Basically what you have is: Water Spout, Thunder, Ice Beam, Surf, Scald, Calm Mind, Substitute, Rest, and Sleep Talk; choose four. My favorite set is probably the Rest+Sleep Talk set, because once your opponent thinks Kyogre is on its last legs from Toxic damage or whatever, you click that rest button and watch their hopes dissolve like Kleenex in the rain, (which Kyogre started with its fabulous ability, Drizzle. )
Seriously, though. ...more
Choice specs Kyogre with Water Spout. Unless it is a Palkia blocking or the fat pink blob known as Blissey, no one has a chance to survive.
Why is he at number 32? It's the best water type that can kick Lugia butt! - anthonyj
Water Spout you die

Always will be my favorite

All I can say is that she is beautiful while at the same time very strong.
