Top 10 Strongest Pokémon

Don’t let its cutesy appearance fool you; Mega Diancie is a force to be reckoned with. In addition to having the ability to absorb light and create diamonds to defend itself, Mega Diancie is also the only Pokémon capable of learning the devastating move Diamond Storm. While also dealing out damage to its opponent, this move also increases Mega Diancie’s defensive capabilities as well, a reminder that a good offence is also a good defence.

The Eon Duo of Hoenn are formidable Pokémon in their original forms, but their Mega forms make them just that much more badass. These two dragon/psychic-types also possess incredible intelligence, which allows them to understand human speech and communicate telepathically. They both already possessed some unique attacks; such as Luster Purge for Latios and Mist Ball for Latias – but now they’ve got the overpowered stats to go with them.

With blood-red spikes, scythe-like blade-arms, and explosive rage which surpasses that of a regular Garchomp – This Mega Form is a whole different level of scary. The nasty dragon/ground-type also possesses increased offensive and defensive stats while in Mega form, these, in addition to its greater physical frame and Sand Force ability, make it an excellent wall breaker for opponents who prefer a more defensive strategy as opposed to offensive.

Tyranitar is one of the most badass Pokémon of all time, so one can only imagine how menacing Mega Tyranitar is. With even more spikes and horns to intimidate its opponents and an even more belligerent attitude, Mega Tyranitar wields even greater offensive and defensive capabilities than its regular form which make it all the more imposing. Strong enough to destroy entire landscapes, Mega Tyranitar is a walking engine of destruction who more than lives up to its pseudo-Legendary status.

Few Pokémon strike terror into their opponents’ hearts quite like Kyurem. According to legend Kyurem is actually an extraterrestrial Pokémon, which would perhaps explain its dislike for humans and other Pokémon alike. The use of DNA Splicers alongside Reshiram or Zekrom allows it to become the more destructive White or Black Kyurem respectively. Kyurem is also the only Pokémon who can learn Glaciate, an ice-type attacks that it creates from the freezing energy it generates within its body.

Zygarde is distinguished by having three unique forms instead of evolutions. Despite all maintaining its dragon/ground-type, Zygarde’s three forms share few common features aside from their black and green colour scheme. All three possess their own unique abilities and battle tactics, with the Form best equipped to deal with the specific challenge undertaking it. But of course, none of these compare to its 100% form – The result of all its separated cells coming together and forming a total beast.

Commonly known as “The Original One”, legend has it that Arceus is responsible for creating the entire Pokémon universe. The Trio Master of the Lake Guardians as well as the Creation Trio, Arceus wields truly awesome power, which has allowed it to serve as Earth’s protector for several millennia. Although gentle to those who treat it with kindness, Arceus is also capable of incredible destruction if it feels deceived or betrayed. The only known Pokémon who is able to learn the devastating move Judgment, Arceus’ vast power also allows it to stop the flow of time.

Pulling these two apart is just about impossible. As two thirds of the Weather Trio, Kyogre and Groudon both possess immense power when it comes to their respective realms of the sea and land. Once they are in their Primal forms however, these two leviathans become god-like in terms of both power and ferocity. While Primal Groudon creates new bodies of land with every step it takes, Primal Kyogre expands the sea, an appropriate metaphor for their seemingly never-ending conflict.
These two continue to remain neck-and-neck in their private war that has no end in sight.

The final third of the Weather Trio, Rayquaza is the master of the skies and serves as the balancing force that keeps its counterparts Groudon and Kyogre in check. Once in its mighty Mega form, the particles that stream from Rayquaza’s jaw allow it to manipulate the air around it and by extension the very weather itself, a handy skill in any situation. In addition to its trademark move Dragon Ascent, Mega Rayquaza can also perform feats of speed, which liken it more to a meteor than a living creature.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honourable mentions:

Mega Salamence

Mega Metagross

As if Mewtwo hadn’t already cemented its legend as the most powerful Pokémon of all time, not one but two versions of Mega Mewtwo were created for the sixth generation. Mega Mewtwo X is a larger, more intimidating presence while Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and possesses astonishing speed. Naturally, both Mega versions boast even greater psychic powers than their original form, which is exemplified in their signature attack Psystrike. These attributes make Mega Mewtwo nigh invincible in a battle of brainpower, and since brains tend to triumph over brawn, Mega Mewtwo is an opponent any trainer should fear in battle.
