feature in pokemon's competitive scene

number nine bulbasaur wow i can't
believe it a bulbasaur
bulbasaur it bears the seed of a plant
on its back from birth
bulbasaur has had a long road to
becoming the star it is today
when the first generation of games was
released it was often the least popular
starter pokemon
likely due to not featuring one of its
evolutions on the box art
at least outside of japan but being the
odd one out has given bulbasaur its own
charm
people love an underdog after all
plus this grass type simple yet iconic
design has helped win it legions of fans
the bulb on its back may not be blooming
but it has certainly bloomed into one of
the series most
treasured creatures
[Music]
it dodged everything first appearing in
the ruby and sapphire
games gardevoir is a holy elegant
humanoid with great fashion sense
its beautiful design and feminine
appearance have earned it some of the
most fan art of any pokemon

appeal gardevoir is a powerhouse with a
great psychic fairy typing
excellent special stats and the ability
to mega evolve
its strength and persistent popularity
have proven
that it's more than just a pretty face
it finally mega evolved number seven
gengar gengar use your confuse ray
[Music]
the final evolution of the fierce ghost
types in the franchise
gengar helped define the typing for many
fans
its ghost poison dual typing has kept it
relevant and powerful
as has its exceptional special attack
and speed the fact that it has gotten
cool new forms like a mega evolution
and gigantomax as the time has gone on
haven't hurt its image either
its straightforward design is very
memorable too
featuring a ghoulish mischievous grin
that's simultaneously endearing
and terrifying creepy cool and almost
cute
gengar is a ghost with the most
[Music]
number six see now that the mewtwo
of one's birth are irrelevant it is what
you do with the gift of life
that determines who you are as well
loved as mu
is its sequel is even better a clone of
mew
mewtwo is a monstrously powerful psychic
type whose status in the pokemon
franchise is quite literally
legendary even decades after its
creation
mewtwo remains one of the strongest
pokemon this cannot be
my destiny its dark and tragic backstory
have also given it a depth and mystique
most of the pokemon don't have

prominent battles across
games movies and anime captivating to
watch or participate in
mewtwo has featured prominently in both
the series and its related media

because they respect it
[Music]
number five evie evie use your skull
bash
evie's a lot stronger than it looks a
fluffy brown
long-eared dog-like pokemon evie's main
selling point for many is its ability to
evolve
into so many different pokemon eight and
counting
[Music]
however as popular as some of its
evolutions are
evie is even more revered there are a
lot of adorable pokemon out there but
evie
is easily one of the cutest in addition
to being as cuddly as any real world pet
evie's potential for growth makes it
kind of the embodiment
of one of pokemon's biggest selling
points the ability for your pokemon to
become
anything its popularity has even led it
to become the mascot
of one side entry in the series
something few pokemon can claim
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
number four lucario
resembling a black and blue bipedal dog
lucaria's popularity has skyrocketed
over the years
to the point where it almost overshadows
that of a certain electric
mouse
an unusual fighting steel type lucario
is a strong combatant
with great attack stats and the ability
to mega evolve
but along with its abilities in battle
lucario has a powerful aura of its own
with its frequent prominence in the
games
as well as the anime lending it a
devoted following
basically lucario delivers a kind of
effortless cool factor
that's almost unmatchable in the
franchise lucario you're amazing
number three greninja
there it is that mysterious greninja
turns out frogs and ninjas go hand in
hand greninja is a water and dark type
although its special ability allows it
to take on the type of any move it uses
this along with its intense speed and
attack power has made it popular among
competitive players
taking the center stage during the anime
second renaissance
leading the charge to some truly
jaw-droppingly animated fight fests
whichever aspect you love greninja has
probably managed to sneak onto your
favorites list
at some point you can't beat that water
shuriken

other media
has helped it maintain its status as a
pokemon all-star
[Music]
oh charizard never listens to me
its popularity has earned it not one but
two mega evolutions

it though

pokemon for decades
