Top 10 Strongest Non Legendary Pokemon

When it comes to the world of Pokémon, Legendary and Mythical creatures often steal the spotlight with their immense power and captivating lore. However, the pool of non-Legendary Pokémon boasts a remarkable array of strong contenders that have made their mark in battles and adventures.

Defining what constitutes a "non-Legendary" Pokémon can be a bit tricky. Generally, they are Pokémon that are not classified as Legendary or Mythical by the official Pokédex. While Legendary Pokémon are often unique, central to the region's lore, and possess overwhelming power, non-Legendary Pokémon are typically more common and accessible to trainers.

This doesn't mean they are any less formidable. In fact, many non-Legendary Pokémon have earned a reputation for their exceptional strength, strategic versatility, and ability to hold their own against even Legendary opponents. These Pokémon have proven that power and resilience can be found in the most unexpected places, and their contributions to the Pokémon universe are just as significant.

1. Dragonite

   

   Dragonite, known in Japan as Kairyu, is a Dragon and Flying-type Pokémon introduced in the first-generation games Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves from Dragonair starting at level 55 and is the final form of Dratini. Dragonite is known for its kindness, intelligence, and powerful presence in battle.

   Dragonite is a beast. You can train it to be special attack-heavy and have it learn Thunder and Hurricane, both of which have 100 percent accuracy in rain.

   Alternatively, you can go for the regular sweeping Dragonite that knows Dragon Dance and Outrage. Thanks to the Dream World, it has the Multiscale ability, which makes moves do only half damage at full health. This can be maintained by using Dragonite's Roost. Dragonite definitely deserves to be the best non-legendary Pokemon.

   I love Dragonite because it has such a wide variety of moves. For example, my level 88 Dragonite knows Outrage, Flamethrower, Thunder, and Fly. It was also extremely powerful for being like the only dragon type in earlier games.

   Why isn't this at the top?

2. Garchomp

   

   Garchomp, known in Japan as Gaburias, is a dual-type Dragon and Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from Gabite starting at level 48 and is the final evolution of Gible. Garchomp resembles a dragon-shark hybrid and is known for its speed and power in battle.

   It has great attack and speed, making it a reliable threat. Garchomp can learn powerful counter-attacks against types that could be problematic, like Fairy types, Metal types, and Ice types. To make room for other moves, Garchomp can learn Fire Fang. This move can quickly end a match against Ice and Fairy types while also being effective against Metal types.

   Garchomp then has room to learn Swords Dance, which can boost its attack stats into a massive weapon of destruction. It can also learn Earthquake, which has STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) and is a perfect physical attack, as well as Dual Chop, which can hit twice, has STAB, and can get rid of substitutes. Overall, when used correctly, this Pokémon can become a massive killing machine.

3. Charizard

   

   Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species created by Ken Sugimori. It first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and has since appeared in merchandise, spinoff titles, and various adaptations. Shin-ichiro Miki, who voices James in the original Japanese anime, also voices... read more

   I prefer Charizard over Dragonite because Charizard is amazing in the games and serves as Ash's strongest Pokemon in the anime. In terms of his movepool, Charizard boasts a few fighting-type moves, many fire-type moves, and a couple each of dragon-type and aerial-type moves. Additionally, Charizard embodies the spirit of never giving up. In the anime, he has only lost two battles: one against a Poliwrath and another against a Blaziken.

   His design is also fantastic. Despite having such large wings, Charizard can move incredibly fast due to his aerial-type abilities. Personally, I believe Charizard is the most powerful non-legendary Pokemon, and he is my favorite

   Charizard is easy to raise and has a wide variety of moves, including Fire type, Flying type, and some Fighting type moves like Brick Break, as well as Dragon type moves. In my Fire Red game, he hasn't fainted once and has already reached level 57, even though I've only beaten four gyms. He has essentially been unstoppable, learning moves that cover his weaknesses.

4. Tyranitar

   

   Tyranitar, known in Japan as Bangiras, is a dual-type Rock and Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves from Pupitar starting at level 55, which itself evolves from Larvitar at level 30. Tyranitar is known for its immense physical strength and powerful offensive capabilities.

   I love Tyranitar. He is one of my top ten favorite Pokemon ever. Although my favorite is Arcanine, who would also be in this top ten and is definitely the best non-legendary fire type, it still doesn't measure up to this beast. No, its speed is not great, and its type choices are not very good either. However, everything else is of legendary quality.

   What compelled me to vote for him is the fact that both his defenses are extremely high, each having a 100 base stat. That's higher in each defensive category than any other 600 total stat non-legendary Pokemon like Salamence, Garchomp, and even the almighty Dragonite. Pokemon need this kind of statistic to maintain balance, given the attacks that possess each quality. Off-topic, but please vote for Goodra a little more. It can be a total disaster if not handled carefully.

5. Salamence

   

   Salamence, known in Japan as Bohmander, is a dual-type Dragon/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It evolves from Shelgon starting at level 50 and is the final form of Bagon. Salamence is known for its aggressive temperament and strong offensive capabilities.

   Mega Salamence has the bulk and power to defeat some of the strongest legendaries with just one Dragon Dance. For example, if given the right amount of EVs, it can take a Dragon Ascent from Mega Rayquaza and defeat it with Dragon Rush. It can also cause serious damage with Dragon Tail, Return, Giga Impact, and Facade, since those are Aerilate-boosted moves.

   On top of that, it has the special stat to be a special attacker and is given reliable recovery with Roost. But go on and say Dragonite is still better. I dare you. Because Salamence even looks cooler, and at least he has a Mega Evolution.

   Salamence deserves to be way higher than No. 5. That's just sad. He is the complete ideal dragon. Being a pseudo-legendary adds so much to him. Why are there so many bandwagoners who make Charizard, a non-dragon, the best dragon of all time?

   Salamence has extreme stats that soar way above the rest. His move set is super-powered. No other non-legendary Pokemon has stats that come anywhere near his. Besides, don't tell me he has a bad design because he's awesome. He is just raw, sick, and epic. Anyone with Pokemon Omega Ruby would know how overpowered Salamence is. #votesalamence

6. Metagross

   

   Metagross, known in Japan as Metagross, first appeared in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It is a Steel and Psychic-type Pokémon and the final evolution of Beldum. Metagross is known for its high intelligence, powerful physical attacks, and balanced stats, making it a favorite in competitive battles.

   I got my shiny Beldum through GTS. I had to go through a lot to get the Pokémon they wanted: a Level 90 Slowking. It's the best thing I've ever done. My Beldum has an Adamant nature, which boosts its Attack by 10 percent and decreases its Sp. Attack by 10 percent.

   My Metagross is now Level 100 and destroys all of my friends' Pokémon during battles. With moves like Hammer Arm, Meteor Mash, Earthquake, and Magnet Rise, you can pretty much guarantee a win. I like to use Hondew Berries to decrease its Sp. Attack stat to a minimum of 203 and boost its other stats, like Sp. Defense and Defense, as much as possible. Metagross is definitely the strongest.

   Why is this Pokémon not number 1? In Gen 7, it annihilates the Tapus. It is a pseudo-legendary with no four-times weakness, one immunity, and several resistances. Even with no investment in defenses, its natural bulk is amazing.

   It has a Mega form with 700 base stats and the Tough Claws ability. Before Mega evolving, it has Clear Body, which stops Intimidate. Also, the amount of coverage is incredible. For example: Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Bullet Punch, Hammer Arm, Meteor Mash or Iron Head, Zen Headbutt, Stomping Tantrum, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Explosion. What more do you want?

7. Hydreigon

   

   Hydreigon, known in Japan as Sazandora, is a dual-type Dark and Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Zweilous starting at level 64, which itself evolves from Deino. Hydreigon has three heads and is known for its aggressive and destructive behavior.

   I love this thing! Besides its awesome looks, killer moves, and being a bulky, fast, hyper-offensive Pokémon with no real checks in Gen 5, it has the coolest name. Its evolutions are all based on a German number, which corresponds to the number of heads it has. Drei is three in German. These are the funny, creative names that I like in Pokémon.

   Don't be a sucker for it, though. Don't try for a physical attacker. Here's the set I use:

   - Name: Hail Hydra

   - Shiny: Yes

   - Item: Life Orb

   - Moves: Draco Meteor, Dark Pulse, Fire Blast/Flamethrower, Roost.

   You can switch Dragon Pulse in for Draco Meteor if you don't plan on using it for competitive battling. It hits nearly everything at 1x effectiveness with its moves, and since you have high-power, Life Orb-boosted, STAB moves, it will destroy anything short of Fairy types. Stay away from those.

   Looking for something to pair Hydreigon with? Try Skarmory, as it can hit Fairy types hard and set up hazards that make it possible for Hydreigon to sweep.

8. Blaziken

   

   Blaziken, known in Japan as Bashāmo, was introduced in the third generation of games, beginning with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It is the final evolved form of Torchic and is recognized for its powerful Fire and Fighting-type moves. Blaziken also has a Mega Evolution that enhances its abilities in battle... read more

   Um, nobody is thinking properly. As much as I'd love to vote for Dragonite, my favorite Pokémon, Blaziken is in the Ubers tier for a reason. His hidden ability, Speed Boost, coupled with his insane attack and a solid Swords Dance, make him formidable. Add in moves like Protect, Substitute, and Baton Pass, and you have a Pokémon that dominates in competitive play.

   Even without the Baton Pass set, one Swords Dance is usually enough to set him up to destroy anything in his path. Regarding the storyline, the only problem with him and his evolutionary line is the first gym. At that point, he's not yet overpowered. However, if you manage to evolve him before the first gym, which isn't as hard as it might sound, a simple Double Kick will demolish anything in your way. Thank you, goodbye.

9. Gengar

   

   Gengar, known in Japan by the same name, is a dual-type Ghost and Poison Pokémon. It evolves from Haunter when traded and is the final evolution of Gastly. Gengar is recognized for its mischievous nature and its strong special attack capabilities.

   Before talking about Gengar, I will say something: I hate Dragonite, and he shouldn't be number one. (I mean, Dragonite isn't in the Uber tier for no reason.) Now it's Gengar time! Before Generation 7 arrived, regular Gengar was in the Overused tier for six generations. This is simply because of its stats and, of course, its HUGE movepool. It is also immune to ground-type attacks thanks to Levitate, which is good since, on paper, Gengar is weak to ground.

   But the reason why I voted for him is his Mega. Not only does it look very cool, but it also has one of the highest special attacks in the game. He is the fastest ghost type, and he has Shadow Tag, which is one of the most broken abilities in the game. Don't mess with Gengar. (And also, I saw most of the comments, and you're supposed to say why it's powerful, not that it's your favorite.)

10. Gyarados

    

    Gyarados is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It evolves from Magikarp, one of the weakest Pokémon. Gyarados has high attack power and strong special defense. Its typing is Water/Flying, or Water/Dark in its Mega Evolution form.

    Gyarados is awesome. Sure, it has a 4x weakness to lightning, but overall, it can take hits, allowing you to set up with a couple of Dragon Dances. With moves like Aqua Tail, Ice Fang, and Earthquake, it's an overpowered Pokemon in the game.

    Plus, its new mega evolution gives it a dark typing, providing more weaknesses but also STAB on its move Crunch. My Gyarados has never lost, and I'm not afraid to prove it. When it's shiny, it looks dangerously overpowered.

    Gyarados helped me defeat Lance in Pokemon SoulSilver. Initially, I planned to use Dragonite, but I ended up using the shiny Gyarados from the Lake of Rage, which knows Ice Fang. Gyarados with Ice Fang is a Dragon Slayer.

    I'm not trying to offend dragon types, as they are my favorite, but Gyarados is an excellent Pokemon.

The Newcomers

    Ursaring

    

    The guts, flame orb, and facade combo is amazing.

    Meowth

    

    Meowth, known in Japan as Nyarth, is a Normal-type Pokémon. Designed by Ken Sugimori, it first appeared in Pokémon Red and Blue and became widely known as the mascot of Team Rocket in the anime. At level 28, Meowth evolves into Persian.... read more

    Meowth may look weak, but he is incredibly powerful!

The Contenders

13. Arcanine

    

    Arcanine, known in Japan as Windie, was introduced in Generation I and evolves from Growlithe when exposed to a Fire Stone. It is a Fire-type Pokémon known for its speed and majestic appearance. Arcanine is often described in Pokédex entries as having the nobility and grace of a legendary Pokémon.

    I can't think of a better Pokémon to have in anyone's starting six. I believe the only reason Arcanine doesn't have a Mega Evolution is that it would be unfair for its opponent. Choosing Blastoise over Charizard isn't really about how much better Blastoise is, but more about how Arcanine is a better Fire option than Charizard.

    Arcanine is my all-time favorite Pokémon. After trading for a Growlithe from my friend in SoulSilver, I moved forward to train it. It completely demolished every gym it entered! Except for Misty's... but I did manage to knock out a few of her Pokémon before having to switch out.

    Arcanine is a beast.

14. Alakazam

    

    Alakazam is a Psychic-type Pokémon first introduced in Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, and in Pokémon Red and Blue internationally. It evolves from Kadabra when traded, or by using a Linking Cord in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Alakazam is noted for its humanoid appearance and its extremely high intelligence... read more

    I'm a little biased, like everyone here, but I'll try to explain why I like Alakazam and why he's the strongest based on experience. First of all, regular Alakazam isn't really good, in my opinion. He can't sweep as well, he's a lot slower, and his defenses still get him one-shotted even with Magic Guard.

    Mega Alakazam, on the other hand, is amazing. He can sweep through entire teams without any boosts, and his ability Trace is extremely underrated. For example, Alakazam can trace abilities like Multiscale, Beast Boost, and Parental Bonds. He is the third-fastest Pokémon in the game, behind only Mewtwo and Deoxys, when he Mega Evolves. So you don't need to have a Timid Alakazam unless you're afraid of Ninjask, which you can just Trace for Speed Boost anyway.

    Finally, my Alakazam has a Modest nature and holds Alakazamite. His moveset includes Psychic/Psyshock, Grass Knot, Shadow Ball, and Dazzling Gleam. I've never lost with this moveset, and I've tested it against every pseudo-legendary to boot. Hope this helps!

15. Blastoise

    

    Blastoise, known in Japan as Kamex, is a Water-type Pokémon and the final evolution of Squirtle. It evolves from Wartortle and is known for the powerful water cannons mounted on its shell. Blastoise is capable of shooting water with enough force to punch holes through steel.

    I just LOVE Blastoise. It was hard deciding between this blue turtle and the awesome fire-breathing dragon Charizard, but I decided that Blastoise is better. For one thing, it is bulky. Second, it can learn a ton of moves.

    It may be a bit slow (well, it's a turtle), but with its great defense and strength, it really doesn't matter. Also, it can learn Ice Beam too. If you raise this monster to a high enough level, it's going to turn into the dragon demolisher.

    Hands up if you love Blastoise! It is so good. I had a really hard time deciding between this guy and Charizard, but I think Blastoise is much more worth it and far better. First, it can learn ice-type moves, and second, it looks incredibly cool.

    This dude is awesome! I was so surprised that he wasn't in the top ten. He could easily defeat Charizard, not counting the type advantage. This guy should be number one. Like this comment if you agree. Blastoise is the absolute best!

16. Greninja

    

    Greninja is a Water/Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation 6. It evolves from Frogadier and is the final evolution of the Water-type starter Froakie. In addition to the standard Torrent ability shared by Water-type starters, Greninja can have the Protean ability, which changes its type to match the... read more

    Gen 6 is the most recent, so it's no wonder people overlook him. At first glance, he's fast with a middling base 103 Special Attack. However, his ability, Protean, grants him Same Type Attack Bonuses with every attack, multiplying the damage dished out by 1.5. His move pool is colossal. He can literally 2HKO any Pokémon provided he has the right coverage attack.

    He benefits from super effective damage against virtually every type due to his large move pool. If that's not enough, he can also use a physical attacking move set with his slightly lower Physical Attack, even having Gunk Shot to defeat specially defensive Fairy types. The only Pokémon that may be capable of taking two hits before being knocked out is Primal Groudon, due to his ability that prevents Water-type moves from working, but that's obviously not a fair comparison. He's a very devastating Pokémon indeed.

17. Haxorus

    

    Haxorus has a great move set, ranging from Giga Impact to Double Team. What really makes him special is his high speed and great defensive moves. Overall, Haxorus is the best Pokémon ever and should be number one.

    It could take on Dragonite or Garchomp any day!

    Haxorus is a god. I don't agree that it's number one, although in the Nintendo games its stats are incredibly insane. By the way, Mudsdale should be in the top 10, in my opinion.

    Every turn its defense increases, and it is a good Pokémon for the trials in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

18. Typhlosion

    

    Typhlosion, known in Japan as Bakphoon, is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves from Quilava starting at level 36 and is the final form of the Fire-type starter Cyndaquil.

    Typhlosion also has a regional variant called Hisuian Typhlosion, which is a dual-type Fire and Ghost... read more

    Well, here we are again. Your typical Pokemon list, with Charizard stealing the spotlight. Nothing new here. Okay, Typhlosion is WAY better than Charizard. I honestly don't see how or why they have the same stats. Forget about Charizard. He's overrated. Don't believe me? Look at the top ten most overrated Pokemon. The review that says I creamed Red's Charizard with my Typhlosion is mine.

    Anyways, Typhlosion is awesome! He has great speed and amazing moves, and he's WAY better than that Charizard crap. I highly recommend this Pokemon. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

    First of all, Typhlosion is the ultimate bro. And the ultimate Fire-type as well. It learns almost all Fire-type moves, plus most other badass moves as well. To have the ability to heat up his entire body to temperatures that melt steel, then explode a whole team of Pokemon, all while staying sexy! It doesn't get any better than that!

19. Volcarona

    

    Hey, Volcarona is more of a legendary Pokémon than most legendaries. It appears in the game when you reach around level 70 or 60. It's pretty much the most powerful, as it has, according to legend, replaced the sun.

    Also, its moves and stats are incredible. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a legendary until the Pokémon Company decided not to make it one because they had too many in the fifth region.

    It has an overall base stat of 550 and incredible Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense, along with Speed, making this Pokémon a heavy hitter. It is super effective against five different types out of 17, which is twice the amount of most Pokémon. Its only real weakness is Rock-type Pokémon.

    With moves like Bug Buzz, Heat Wave, Sunny Day, and Solar Beam, you can wipe out almost anything with just this Pokémon. Although it evolves at Level 59, it is well worth the wait and easily makes it into my top five non-legendary Pokémon.

20. Flygon

    

    Flygon, known in Japan as Flygon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It evolves from Vibrava starting at level 45 and is the final form of Trapinch. Flygon is a dual-type Ground and Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation III, often referred to as the Desert Spirit.

    I think this Pokemon should rank among the top ones, not the lowest. Flygon is amazing! In PvP, it's airborne but can use moves like Dig, which looks incredible for a flying Pokemon, and also Fly. It offers great HM capabilities, similar to Linoone and Zigzagoon, even if it can't learn every HM. I believe it can learn Rock Smash, Fly, Dig, and maybe even Rock Climb. I'm not sure about Surf, but that's based on videos and discussions with friends who play Pokemon Brick Bronze. It shouldn't be number 20. It should be number 1!

    In my book, I'm developing a concept called the Third Elements. I can't say too much about it, but it's a group of Pokemon released by careless trainers that have three elements instead of one or two. Honestly, I think Flygon should be a Third Element Pokemon, with the elements of Flying, Dragon, and Ground. However, this would make Flygon ridiculously weak to Ice-type moves. Based on a comment I read today, if Flygon had these three elements, it might not make the top ten after all.

21. Infernape

    

    Infernape, known in Japan as Goukazaru, was introduced in Generation IV and is the final evolution of Chimchar. It is a Fire and Fighting-type Pokémon known for its high speed and well-balanced offensive stats. Infernape evolves from Monferno starting at level 36 and is often praised for its versatility... read more

    What can beat a Rock/Dark Tyranitar due to secondary type advantage? Infernape.

    Who can dig and use Fire/Fighting attacks with superior speed and power? Infernape.

    Which Pokémon can crush Lucario and Arcanine under a toe? Infernape.

    Who is the fastest Fire starter while being the only starter to have an advantage over its counterparts (Torterra and Empoleon through Fire and Fighting typings respectively)? Infernape.

    And there are still people who think Blaziken is better than Infernape. Not to mention Ash's Infernape had far more willpower than any Blaziken ever had. Even Cynthia recognized Infernape's abilities and capabilities. No champion ever seemed to do this for a Blaziken.

    Infernape all the way!

22. Aggron

    

    Aggron is a dual-type Steel and Rock Pokémon that evolves from Lairon, which itself evolves from Aron. It is recognized for its heavy armor and strong territorial instincts. Aggron often restores mountain habitats that have been damaged by human activity.... read more

    Aggron is a powerhouse of a Pokemon. It isn't very fast, but its attacking power more than makes up for it. Although Aggron is heavy, making moves like Grass Knot problematic, there is a solution. Aggron can learn Automize (Body Purge), which decreases its weight by 100.

    Its combination of steel and rock types results in very few weaknesses and 10 resistances. Plus, having a base defense of 180 isn't too shabby. Aggron can also have Sturdy or Rock Head, which are two really good abilities. Another move it can learn is Metal Burst, which reflects any attack that does damage back at the attacker, 1.5 times harder. So Aggron deserves more votes - come on, just face the facts. He rocks. Get it? Rocks.

23. Swampert

    

    Swampert, known in Japan as Laglarge, is a dual-type Water and Ground Pokémon. It evolves from Marshtomp and is the final form of Mudkip, first introduced in Generation III. Swampert is known for its strong physical stats and also has a Mega Evolution that boosts its power and speed.

    For all those people who say, "Oh, it's 4x weak to Grass," well, the water type being weak to Grass is something we all learned from day one. That doesn't make it bad. Water types aren't meant to face Grass types, and if they have to, Swampert can learn Ice-type moves.

    Additionally, its typing gives it only one weakness, tying it for the fewest weaknesses of any Pokémon along with Sableye and Spiritomb. Both also have one immunity. Newsflash: Charizard is 4x weak to Rock, but it also has more weaknesses and poor defenses. The only thing Charizard is good for is its black and blue Mega form.

    Swampert is definitely the best Hoenn starter and one of the best water starters. The Water/Ground typing gives it immunity to Electric moves, resistance to Rock moves (which is good for a Water Pokémon), and resistance to Fire (which is good for a Ground Pokémon). In the original Gen 3 games, a great thing about Swampert was its ability to learn Earthquake naturally. There was only one Earthquake TM, and it came late in the game.

    Swampert's weaker Ground attacks are very useful early in the game. Although primarily a physical attacker, Swampert still performed well with special Water and Ice moves in Gen 3. It can use Ice moves against Grass Pokémon, but it's slow, so switch it out anyway. In Gen 4, Swampert gained access to physical Water and Ice moves, and in the remakes, it got a Mega Evolution, which boosts its stats and gives it the Swift Swim ability to fix its speed under rain.

    Swampert is effective against a lot of in-game challenges. It has only one weakness, and there is no Grass-type gym in Hoenn.

24. Empoleon

    

    Empoleon, known in Japan as Emperte, is a Water and Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is the final evolution of Piplup, the Water-type starter Pokémon from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Empoleon has a regal appearance and a trident-shaped beak that symbolizes its commanding presence.

    Are you kidding? Empoleon is easily the strongest non-legendary Pokémon I've ever encountered, aside from maybe Garchomp and Salamence. Its defenses are very decent and can stand up to Darmanitan's Hammer Arm, Haxorus's Earthquake, or even a STAB Close Combat from Infernape. In addition, its Special Attack is higher than any other starter Pokémon.

    Empoleon should at least be in the top ten, and anyone who thinks otherwise should look at the facts. Plus, it can easily sweep Charizard, the so-called most powerful starter. Anyone who can seriously disagree with that is probably a nostalgia nerd.

    Heck yes! Empoleon is probably the strongest starter Pokémon that has ever existed! A single Ice attack could take down most of the stuff on the list, like Dragonite, Garchomp, and Salamence. It can wear down Hydreigon and Snorlax with Brick Break. Hidden Power Electric trashes Gyarados, and a STAB Surf leaves Charizard, Typhlosion, and Darmanitan crying for their mothers.

25. Spiritomb

    

    Spiritomb, known in Japan as Mikaruge, is a dual-type Ghost and Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is composed of 108 spirits and is known for its unusual method of being obtained by interacting with the Odd Keystone. Spiritomb does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon.

    I have no idea why this wasn't added yet, but Sableye was. This thing is basically just a much better version than Sableye.

    I beat the whole Pokemon League with Spiritomb, and it didn't lose a single health point.

    Has the best dual type. This should have gotten the Mega, not Sableye.

26. Sceptile

    

    Sceptile, known in Japan as Jukain, is a Grass-type Pokémon. It evolves from Grovyle and is the final form of Treecko, which is one of the starter Pokémon from the third-generation games. Sceptile also has a Mega Evolution and appears in video games, anime, and trading cards.

    Aside from Greninja and Infernape, Sceptile is the fastest starter and the fastest grass type, with a speed of 130. It's faster than Mega Blaziken before Speed Boost kicks in. It's very strong, with moves like Rock Slide, Leaf Blade, and Dragon Claw, and even Detect. It's also very high in attack.

    Use it, and you'll wish all the Pokémon games had this Pokémon as a starter choice. While most grass types are based on defense and attack, this one is based on speed and attack, making it more of a sweeper than a tank or a wall.

    It only took a Leaf Blade to crush Wallace and his school of fish. One time, my Sceptile ruined Winona, who had a big advantage over me. Sceptile can also learn Dragon Claw and Toxic, making him one of the best special sweepers of all time.

27. Snorlax

    

    Snorlax, known in Japan as Kabigon, was introduced in Generation I and evolves from Munchlax when leveled up with high friendship. It is a Normal-type Pokémon known for its massive size, high HP, and tendency to sleep in inconvenient locations. In many games, Snorlax must be awakened to progress through... read more

    Snorlax should be ranked much higher than he is. He can learn almost every move. His HP and Attack stats are out of this world, not to mention his defense. The only downside to Snorlax is his low speed.

    Snorlax definitely should be in the top ten.

    Personally, I like Snorlax. He likes to eat a lot and likes to sleep all day, just like me. Why is Dragonite on top? Dragonite is stupid and doesn't have a good Z-move. Plus, Snorlax looks funny.

    You should see a clip of somebody riding Snorlax in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee!
