#10: Mewtwo
Mewtwo was the ultimate challenge. After the Elite Four, every trainer had one thing on their mind: making it to the end of Cerulean Cave for the ultimate confrontation. Not only did Mewtwo have no equal in the originals, it was a tormented by being a clone of Mew and not being recognized as its own being – it’s just a lonely copy of something great. This Pokémon’s power is only surpassed by its wisdom.
“I see now the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are” – Mewtwo
#9: Volcarona
This bug Pokémon is a threat to any team and should be dealt with ASAP. Volcarona is known as the sun Pokémon, and has six wings that scatter embers as it flies. It has a very slow development, but good things come to those who wait. Quiver dance makes Volcarona a special tank, sweeper, and speedster. Its signature move, Fiery Dance, deals good damage with a 50-percent chance of raising its attack. With an unusual typing and exquisite design, there is a reason it was worshiped in ancient times.
08: Snorlax
Snorlax is a familiar face even to those who aren’t familiar with Pokémon, and is the perfect analogy to a real tank: he’s slow, heavy, and hits incredibly hard. Unlike most tanks in the game, Snorlax is just as good at dealing damage as he is at taking it. Only a rookie would see its horrible speed as a weakness. This sleepy Pokémon has been lovable since day one and has only gotten better over the years.
07: Eevee
They say variety is the spice of life and Eevee is living proof of that. This charismatic Pokémon has seven evolutions all with their own beneficial uses. No matter your battle style or Poképreference, there is an “eeveelution” that fits your style. Almost every serious trainer has put many hours into this urban Pokémon, raising it to be a valued member of their team.
06: Tyranitar
Several game-changing things came from the second generation; Tyranitar is one of them. Sand stream is a great ability, weather control is an important key to a victory, and once you take care of Tyranitar’s average speed, it can do some real damage. Outside of the game, Tyraniters are great parents and will destroy mountains to keep them safe. They will never back down from a fight and even with all their destructive power; they show kindness to those who deserve it.
05: Zoroark
The Illusion Fox Pokémon was one of the premier monsters of the fifth generation. The reason Zoroark deserves so much respect is not only due to its great battle skill and cool design, but its ability to disguise itself as the last Pokémon in your party. The strategy potential can give you victory if your opponent has no idea what’s lying in wait. Outside of battle they can cast illusions over a wide area, concealing their nest from the outside world.
04: Metagross
When four Beldum fuse together, Metagross is born, the ultimate combo of brains and brawn. It has the intelligence to compete with Alakazam and the power to devastate almost anything. It uses its psychic power to float around and massive body to crush its prey and then devour them. Metagross is so strong in cannot be intimidated by its enemies.
03: Kanto Starters
Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur was one of the most important decisions to ever be made in Pokémon history. The original starters can never be forgotten because they opened the door to a whole new world. The world’s very first trainers had to decide who they were going to embark on a journey with; only you can decide who the rightful third spot goes to.
02: Garchomp
Garchomp is THE dragon Pokémon; excluding legendary's, this Pokémon’s power is the cream of the crop. He looks awesome, his stats are marvelous, and he has versatility. This land shark can fly at speeds equal to that of a jet plane and its wings are as sharp as blades. This is a Pokémon you should always be ready for and a reason every member of your team should know an Ice type move.
01: Mew
We have had Pokémon that can control time, destroy mountains, use remarkable psychic abilities, and form the universe, but none of them compare to the great ancestor of all living Pokémon: Mew. The original greatest mystery still lives; no one knows where or how Mew came to be, just that it contains the DNA of every living species on the planet. Arceus may be all-powerful, but it’s nowhere near as mystical as Mew. This Pokémon can learn every TM in the game and has the ability to transform into any Pokémon at any time. Known to be extremely playful and childlike, only one with a pure heart will ever have a chance to see this wonderful Pokémon.
