There’s a whole lot of debate when it comes to who the strongest Pokemon is.
And while there are some clear cut answers, and some Pokemon who many a trainer would
NEVER want to have to face off against in a battle, there’s also a ton of legendary
Pokemon, with various forms, that are known to dish out the ultimate amount of damage.
So today, we’re counting down the top 10 strongest Pokemon.
Also, for the sake of keeping this list interesting, we’ll be bulking in certain Pokemon’s
Mega forms in with their base for as one number.
10 Mew Let’s start off our list with one of the
only generation one Pokemon we’ve included; the OG legendary, Mew.
Mew was the mythical Pokemon that appeared in the original Red, Blue and Yellow titles;
a pokemon who can learn every single TM, HM and move tutor, minus the ones exclusive to
specific Pokemon.)
And Mew is the reason why we have MewTwo; one gave birth to a Pokemon which was then
experimented on, resulting in MewTwo.
But, Mew has been capable of defeating it’s successor, and that’s no easy feat.
Hence why the little pink Pokemon has made it onto our list.
Sure, there’s a lot of other legendary Pokemon out there who could arguably defeat Mew with
ease, but something’s gotta be said for history friends, and often Mew is full of
surprises.
9 Ultra Necrozma From generation one to generation seven, here
we have Necrozma, or rather, specifically it’s ultra form.
While Necrozma is not to be taken likely in it’s initial form, or it’s dusk mane or
dawn wings form, it’s ultra form is the product of fusing with other legendaries and
THEN evolving into something even more powerful.
This form is said to have absorbed an overwhelming amount of light energy, and the light pouring
out from all over its body affects living things and nature.
It also shoots laser beams, so yeah.
It’s deadly.
8 Diancie Don’t be fooled by Diancie’s cutesy appearance;
this pokemon will tear you a new a-hole if you end up facing off against it in battle.
A rock fairy type, it’s a legendary Pokemon that hit the scene as part of generation six.
Mega Diancie is what this pokemon will evolve into if you use the Diancite.
7 Zygarde Zygarde has multiple forms, as do many of
the Pokemon on this list.
And it’s Zygarde Complete makes it a total behemoth
in battle.
6 Giratina Giratina is fan favourite when it comes to
talking about extremely strong Pokemon.
First appearing in Diamond and Pearl, it’s altered forme packs one hell of a punch, but
it’s origin forme is even more feared; this ghost dragon Pokemon only appears as it’s
origin forme when in the Distortion World, and is highly aggressive and territorial,
having the ability to pass through dimensions at its own will.
It can hold its own against many other extremely strong legendaries, too.
5 Primal Groudon Despite being insanely strong at in it’s
initial form, the Pokemon gets EVEN MORE of a power boost thanks to it’s Primal Reversion,
which is pretty much like a mega evolution for Groudon that appeared in Omega Ruby and
Alpha Sapphire.
And then there’s its whole fire/water rivalry
with our next powerful Pokemon-
4 Primal Kyogre The reason why it tops our last number is
simply because of it’s type; it’s a water Pokemon.
Duh.
3 Arceus Many feel that Arceus is the strongest Pokemon
out there.
And they aren’t wrong; when it comes to base stats, it’s incredibly powerful.
Facing off against any Pokemon that isn’t a mega evolution usually results in a whole
lot of fainting.
According to its lore, Arceus essentially created all other Pokemon; it’s a damn GOD.
It’s known as the original on, and is responsible for possibly creating the entire Pokemon universe.
It’s a normal type Pokemon, but nothing about it is ordinary.
When its holding as plate or a type specific Z-Crystal, it will change its type to whatever
is the most advantageous.
It’s well balanced, too, which feels like the least interesting fact about it, but in
terms of battle, that goes a long, long way.
2 Rayquaza Rayquaza is A BEAST.
For starters, it’s a legendary Pokemon whose initial base stats are enough to make any
Pokemon trainer poop their pants a little.
If you don’t own one, that is.
But then, when the mega evolutions via the mega stone popped up, Game Freak was like,
hey, you know what would be utterly terrifying but totally awesome?
A Mega Rayquaza.
And it basically becomes incredibly resistant to the Pokemon types that would normally cause
it damage, with their attacks doing half as much damage as they normally would.
So yeah, Mega Rayquaza is a bit of a trump card.
1 Mewtwo MewTwo is one of the original generation one
Pokemon.
But it’s initial form isn’t what earns it the top spot on our list; it’s the forms
that it can mega evolve into, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega MewTwo Y.
These forms appeared in Pokemon X and Y and dear lord, it’s immensely powerful.
It’s X form has a base attack of 190, and it’s Y form has a base stat total of 780,
only comparable to our last number’s mega form.
MewTwo is a man made Pokemon, birthed by Mew with it’s DNA sliced; a torturous process
that gave it a bitter resentment towards humans.
The experiments by Dr Fugi were an attempt to clone Mew, and while it did result in arguably
the strongest Pokemon (at the time, and later on in X and Y), the resulting conflict was
destructive at best.
That being said, if you ever get your hands on one of MewTwo’s mega evolutions, well,
I feel sorry for your opponent.
