Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Most Powerful Non-Legendary Pokémon. For this list, we’ll be looking at the strongest Pokémon outside of the legendary and mythical classifications based on their feats in the anime, as well as details mentioned in their Pokédex entries. Did your favorite Pokémon powerhouse make this list? Let us know in the comments below.
#10: Lucario
Along with being one of the most popular Pokémon of all time, Lucario also has the pleasure of being one of the strongest. What sets this iconic Steel and Fighting-type apart from other Pokémon is its natural ability to use and manipulate the energy known as Aura. Along with using Aura to communicate with humans, Lucario also uses it to predict their opponent’s movements, destroy large boulders, create weapons, as well as fire powerful bursts of Aura via the move Aura Sphere. Through the power of Mega Evolution, both Lucario’s Aura and fighting instincts are elevated to extreme levels, allowing it to unleash explosive power with merciless intent.

#9: Machamp
Even after more than two decades, this macho Fighting-type can still throw down with even the toughest of challengers. Possessing enough strength to move a mountain with just one of its many arms, Machamp is also proficient in every known martial art. As a result, it is able to attack from virtually every angle and has mastered the ability to attack and defend itself simultaneously. When it no longer holds back, Machamp overwhelms the competition by unleashing over a thousand punches every two seconds. If that wasn’t impressive enough, Machamp can also Gigantamax. In this form, just one of its massive punches can strike with power equal to that of a bomb blast.
#8: Dragonite
Don’t mistake this Pokémon’s kind-hearted nature for weakness. Dubbed as “the sea incarnate,” Dragonite is a powerful Pokémon whose strength is recognized by quite a few Gym Leaders and Champions. Despite its small wings and large body, Dragonite possesses legendary stamina and is able to fly through raging storms and easily circle the globe in less than a day. Even though Dragonite has yet to earn a Mega Evolution or even an alternate form, its strength has dominated the Pokémon world since ancient times. As a result, it's capable of taking down even Mega Evolved Pokémon. Regardless if it's outnumbered or even fighting at less than full strength, defeating a Dragonite is by no means easy.

#7: Alakazam
You definitely don’t want to play any mind games with this Pokémon. While lacking in physical strength, Alakazam makes up for this weakness with its super intelligence. Thanks to its IQ of over 5,000, Alakazm has reached the pinnacle of Psychic-type Pokémon. Along with causing headaches to anyone that gets too close, Alakazam also possesses an eidetic memory, can instantly identify weaknesses, use all forms of psychic power, as well as perform supernatural feats. While its psychic powers have already reached a high level, its potential can be pushed even further thanks to Mega Evolution. In its ultimate form, Mega Alakazam can see far into the future and can instantly learn everything there is to know about someone with just a glance.
#6: Garchomp
Inspired by sharks, dragons and even dinosaurs, Garchomp is an apex predator that is both admired and feared. The signature Pokémon of Sinnoh region Champion Cynthia, Garchomp is not only strong, but also a skilled flier. Thanks to its aerodynamic body, Garchomp can fly at speeds surpassing that of fighter jets, making it next to impossible for prey to escape it. It can also move fast enough to generate wind blades capable of cutting through large trees. This Pokémon is so fast and powerful that it often competes with the Pseudo-Legendary Salamence, one of the fastest fliers in the Pokémon world. Through Mega Evolution, Garchomp becomes a grim reaper of the battlefield, capable of taking down even the sturdiest of opponents.
#5: Gardevoir
As the Pokémon world’s version of a guardian angel, Gardevoir may seem delicate and frail, but underneath its ballet dancer physique lies unfathomable psychic power. Gardevoir’s many abilities include seeing into the future, nullifying the gravity around it, as well as the ability to distort dimensions. While powerful under normal circumstances, Gardevoir’s psychokinetic abilities only reach their true potential when defending their trainers. Under dire circumstances, Gardevoir can push its psychic powers beyond its limits, allowing it to warp space and create black holes. Loyal to a fault, Gardevoir will not hesitate to sacrifice every last ounce of its life force to protect those it loves.
#4: Gengar
Since its debut during the first generation, this iconic Ghost-type has continued to grow in both power and popularity. As one of the strongest Ghost-types, Gengar has many supernatural tricks up its sleeve, such as turning invisible, extending its tongue to inhuman lengths, the power to possess people and Pokémon, as well as its signature ability to travel through and attack with shadows. By Mega Evolving, Gengar becomes a ruthless specter unable to discern friend from foe, but in exchange it can freely travel between dimensions, allowing it to appear anywhere. While a giant Gengar does exist, it's not to be confused with its much more powerful Gigantamax form, whose mouth is said to be a portal to the afterlife.
#3: Metagross
What do you get when you fuse two Metang together? Why, the Iron Leg Pokémon Metagross, of course. With its intimidating appearance, immense physical strength and its superhuman intelligence that puts even supercomputers to shame, Metagross is a lethal, Pokémon slaying machine. Despite its large size, Metagross can be deceptively quick by using its psychic powers via Agility to overwhelm and trap its targets. Metagross also thrives in cold climates, where such conditions greatly enhance its powers over magnetism. Through Mega Evolution, Metagross becomes bigger, stronger and even more fearsome than it was before. Its fighting style is so merciless and brutal that it is too terrifying for people to watch.
#2: Charizard
Powerful and destructive, Charizard is a popular Pokémon favored by many experienced trainers, including Ash Ketchum and the “Monarch” Leon. Packing enough firepower to melt virtually anything from boulders to even giant glaciers, Charizard’s flames only grow more intense after experiencing tough battles. By nature, Charizard accepts fights from only the strongest of enemies, regardless of type advantage. Even though Charizard is not officially a Dragon-type Pokémon, the fact that it can learn powerful Dragon-type moves practically makes it a tri-type Pokémon. Growing more formidable with every new generation, Charizard not only possesses an imposing Gigantamax form, but two Mega Evolutions as well. One of which is actually part Dragon-type.
#1: Tyranitar
When it comes to Pokémon that should never be angered, Tyranitar ranks pretty high on the list. Along with an armored hide that protects it from even the most powerful attacks, Tyranitar can also manipulate the weather by summoning fierce sandstorms every time it enters the battlefield. Much like the kaiju it’s based on, Tyranitar possesses immense destructive potential. With just a single hand, Tyranitar can create devastating earthquakes and even destroy entire mountains. It’s power is so overwhelming that entire maps have to be redrawn every time it goes on a rampage. And that’s all before it even Mega Evolves. With so much raw destructive power, it seems accurate to call Tyranitar a walking catastrophe.
