Top 10 Best Pokemon Champions
Cynthia is better than all the other champions by a long shot. Prior to Gen 6, her first Pokémon had three immunities and no weaknesses. And then it gets worse - you have to face the onslaught of the rest of her team, including her Garchomp, who is arguably the best pseudo-legendary. Her team is well-balanced, covering any weaknesses her other Pokémon may have.
Is Garchomp 4x weak to Ice? Switch in Lucario. Lucario weak to Fighting? Switch in Roserade or Togekiss (in Platinum). Additionally, her Pokémon were at very high levels in the games she debuted in. Overall, Cynthia's team is what makes her a great champion, one that will not go down without a fight.
Red is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first character to be playable in the Pokémon series and his initial appearance is set in the Generation I main games. He has since then made various appearances in Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes of Red, Green, Blue,... read more Red deserves to be above Steven and Cynthia. He is stronger and has caught a lot of Pokémon. But it's not just that - you never battle him in the Pokémon League. He just serves as a hidden final boss.
Red has caught all 152 Pokémon and has been to all the regions. He has also defeated Blue and forced Team Rocket to disband. He even has Mewtwo and Deoxys. Uhh, what does Cynthia have? A useless Togekiss? That's trash.
Of course, he's awesome, but does he really count as a champion?
Iris is from the Pokemon bwhite version & Pokemon black 2 & white. She ether was the gym leader in Opelucid city in white version. She first appeared to aid Bianca, Burgh, and the playable character when Bianca's Munna was stolen, & acted as a bodyguard. In Black 2 & White 2, she was the champion. Iris... read more Iris is the cheeriest champion ever. She is certainly the only champion who actually uses strategy instead of attacking right away. Well, except for Cynthia's Spiritomb (shudders).
Iris is so cheerful, adventurous, and energetic. What is with all the hate on Iris? Even if she says, "Such a little kid," that doesn't mean she is a bad character. It suddenly became her habit, but she laughs it off.
Don't forget, Haxorus is one of the Pokémon with a One-Hit KO move.
Iris is strong! Her Haxorus is killer, Lapras can sometimes be a challenge, and Hydreigon is evil!
Diantha could have been one of the top three because she has a REALLY good strategy. I like how she was an actress, and no one expected her to be the champion. You can only meet her twice or three times in X/Y.
You might say, "She is the last person you'd expect to be the champion because she is an actress." Well, think again!
She's really cool and has a good design. She can also be pretty tough, unless you have over-leveled Pokémon (like me).
Champion Wallace has a balanced Water-type team, protecting his Pokémon from Electric and Grass weaknesses. His memorable Pokémon are Ludicolo, Gyarados, and especially his beautiful and stressful Milotic - a deserving champion for the water lovers.
Elegant and strong, a combination that can ruin your team! But of course, I can beat him alone.
Lance may be easy to prepare for and battle, but three Dragonites are amazing. Plus, his theme is epic.
Lance is the Dragon Master, the strongest type in Pokémon.
In Let's Go, he had four Flying-type Pokémon, and I think he only had two or three Dragons.
He had a well-balanced team, and being your rival, it was so fun to destroy him.
Everything about this man makes him the best. From the way he is almost overjoyed when someone finally beats him after almost a decade to the little details like how the Hall of Fame theme is in his battle theme. All around, a real champion guy.
Like, damn, his Dragapult kept killing my Pokémon. Charizard was too easy to defeat because I had a Vaporeon, but before I got to Charizard - damn, his Pokémon.
Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi in Japan, is a fictional main character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo. Ash is training to be a Pokemon Master, with his buddy Pikachu. Ash tries to stop the evil Team Rocket from stealing his Pikachu. Ash will be Champion of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The author is not letting Ash be Champion because Ash's goal is to be a Pokémon Champion. If Ash becomes a Champion, then Pokémon is over. Ash can use his ultimate team for the championship.
Technically, he is a champion for the Orange League. I don't think he will win any other league, but he deserves to, in my opinion.
Ash should be 1st. His Pikachu could beat anything!
Somehow, Gen 3 was my introduction to Pokémon, so Steven was basically my first champion. Overall, I remember that I enjoyed the fight since it was balanced, in my opinion. Also, to this day, Metagross gives me PTSD. Looking back, he's still one of the more solid champions.
8/10 would fight him again if I had the time.
Bro, my boy Steven deserves so much more love. He uses a shiny Mega Metagross and is a gentleman through and through. What is not to love about his perfect face and personality?
I didn't really know where to put him at first because he just seemed like he would be a spoiled brat. But my god, do I like his character. He looks so collected and ready to win at the same time. Furthermore, I really like that he uses the box legendary and both fossil Pokémon.
Solid character and a nice battle, so you can't really go wrong with him. 7/10 would subscribe to his OnlyFans.
