Top 10 Best Defensive Pokemon

Honestly, you can't say that Shuckle is better. We are talking about defense, and they have the same defense. Only Aggron has better HP, so it can take physical moves a lot better. Along with that, it has literally 14 times Shuckle's attack, so it can attack and defend for itself pretty well.

Aggron is my team's tank. It has a great move pool, and it can take a hit and deal one out with great power in attack and defense. It's my go-to. I named it accurately, Dooms-Day.

Aggron is the wall defender on my team. In real life, he would be even stronger in double and triple battles. Protect ally from hit. Ally defeats opponent's Pokémon. Me and my Pokémon win. The end.

No, no, no. Aggron? Number 1? Aggron isn't even in the top 3 for real defense. Shuckle is the defense master, and it is also the special defense master. It has a defense and special defense stat of 230 each. Number 2 is Steelix with 200 defense. Aggron is number 4 (tied with Cloyster) with a defense of 180.

Shuckle would've been almost as bad as Sunkern and other Pokémon if its defense and special defense were as bad as its attack, special attack, speed, or HP. The HP doesn't even matter because of its defense. A good moveset would be Toxic (poison them - bad attack/special attack), Sandstorm (use this after Toxic - bad attack/special attack), Rest (recover at low health), and Earthquake (get revenge on Steel types since nothing has worked on them so far, and exploit their weakness).

In the movie Destiny Deoxys, Deoxys almost defeated Rayquaza by himself, and Rayquaza's attacks did nothing to Deoxys when they fought. Also, Deoxys can regenerate, so in my opinion, Deoxys should be the best.

Dude, this thing has speed, attack, and defense all in one! How could you not love it?

Very powerful in defense. It's a shame that his other stats aren't up to standard with his devastatingly strong defense. If you want a defensive Pokémon on your team, this is the guy.

With a Careful nature, using Curse and Body Press will give it a huge advantage.

I think Steelix is the best in defense!

One of the most defensive non-Ubers in the game, Skill Link gives multi-strike moves that always hit quintuple. Its only problem, however, is its special defense, which is really low. But throw something special defensive on the team, such as Probopass or Umbreon, and that problem is sorted.

I use Registeel in a lot of battles. It's a really good defensive and special defensive Pokémon in battle with friends or on Wi-Fi.

With a Careful nature, using Curse and Body Press will give it a huge advantage.

Curse, Rest, Drain Punch, and another attacking move with a Lum Berry or whatever berry wakes you up, makes this thing a defensive beast with a powerful punch. Only weakness is special attackers.

In my Emerald version, my Regirock has 431 base defense.

Bastiodon is great in defense and special defense, with 168 defense and 138 special defense. How is that not good? Bastiodon can learn Stealth Rock too, so that makes it able to deal with Focus Sashes too. That's why I have it on my team.

Bastiodon's a living shield! Shields are used for defense, so why isn't it at the top? It has amazing defense!

I think Bastiodon is pretty cool, and its defense and special defense are both good.

Toxapex is simply too tanky to ignore. Movesets such as Stockpile, Recover, Toxic, and Infestation/Liquidation are a pain to deal with. Liquidation will make use of the Merciless ability, while Infestation forces the opponent to stay in battle while Toxic and Infestation chip away at their health.

When you eventually do get to low health, just use Recover and make all those little kids throw their 3DS out of the nearest window!

Tyranitar looks cool and strong but has low speed. It's awesome looking!

With a Bold nature, using Calm Mind and Recover can increase the length of a battle significantly.

The ideal wall, having great speed, godlike bulk, and offenses to back it up. Need I say more? Also, he has a great movepool.

Lugia is strong and has high defense with high HP. Of course, its attack is weak, but its speed is superb.

Although many of us have come to hate this Pokémon, it is because it has a monster defense. We hate it because whenever we got it down to low HP, it used Softboiled to get its health back. Beast defense plus HP-recovering move.

Blissey has one of the highest HP stats in the game. Also, the combination of Sing and it learning the move Dream Eater makes it a great offensive Pokémon.

Blissey is literally a tank. A wall. Nothing can actually take her down.

With a base defense of 131 and base special defense of 116, along with a Grass/Steel type advantage, this Pokémon can hold off entire teams.

With a Careful nature, combining Curse and Gyro Ball will turn the tide of things.

Plus, it can learn both Stealth Rock and Spikes, can't be Leech Seeded, or Spored!

Super strong and has such a cute evolution line. Plus, his defense is outstanding. He has a tree growing out of his back for crying out loud!

With Earthquake and higher defenses, he can beat even Fire types. Perhaps the Grass-Ground combo is great.

With a Calm nature, it can gain significant advantages by using Iron Defense and Body Press.

How could you not love that moustache?

It can take any hit like it's nothing, except maybe a Close Combat or Earthquake.

With 9 resistances to common types such as Flying, Rock, Bug, Steel, Grass, Fairy, Ice, and the over-powerful Psychic and important Dragon resistance, this thing eats up hits. With added immunity to Ground-type attacks (one of its few weaknesses) through its Levitate ability and its move King's Shield that blocks almost any attack, it is formidable.

With an added 150 Sp. Def and 150 Def while in shield form and 150 Sp. Atk and 150 Atk while in sword form, it has the ability to strike back hard when it gets bored of tanking. This thing is a pain to fight. With its dual forms and ability to make you completely ineffective and hit back hard, this is an essential addition to any defensive team.

Snorlax is a giant, squidgy ball of healthiness with 160 base HP and 110 base Sp. Def. Once you get off 2 Stockpiles, this thing will soak up super effective hits like it's nothing.

With the ability to recover lost health through Rest and Sleep Talk, or even if you lose Sleep Talk for Curse and Bite, which further increases its defensive stat, Snorlax is a huge threat. I've swept teams with Snorlax, taking a hit to give one back.

Sleeps too much, but has too much defense to kill him even though he gives you a head start or an advantage.

Metagross is awesome. It does extreme damage while at the same time taking no damage except from Earthquake.

Metagross is the best tanker. You need Earthquake to defeat the best defensive Pokémon in my competitive battles.

It's a pseudo-legendary with nine resistances!

Mega Aggron has one of the highest defenses of any Pokémon.

Its new Hisuian form makes it the best pseudo-legendary in the game. It can be a great special wall with the Assault Vest but has many moves to boost its own defense and fight with Body Press. Exceptional typing too.

Come on! Wobbuffet only has defensive moves, and it's so low on the list?
