So I have just realised that in most of my pokemon playthroughs there is normally one of my pokemon who is better then the rest without having a level advantage. The most obvious case of this was during my play through of black were I caught a drilbur and named it 'The mole', and at every gym my team would be beaten by the first 2 pokemon of the gym and then the mole who was always of a lower level then the gyms pokemon, would proceed to take out the entire gym with ease, the same wiht the eilte four and the last two battles, The mole was only level 45 and he was able to take out all of their pokemon without needing to heal apart from the hydreigon which I used the rest of my team to disable all but one attack which would heal one of my pokemon.

So have any of you guys ever had that pokemon which could defeat all others (it doesn't count if you didn't train a party of 6)?

UPDATE: sudo-legendaries don't count

Pokemon has a crap-ton of stuff like that.

Garchomp, Salamence, Excadrill (the mole), Krookodile, Swampert, Infernape, Blaziken, and dozens more.

Basically the entire OU/Uber tier list, and even a lot of UU, can solo the campaign with zero issues. Hell, a mere base 90 speed can outrun most of the AI.

My Vaporeon was like that. He was always overly powered cause he was the main focus of my team, and realy his only weakness always seemed to be an electivire, but then I always had a pokemon with earthquake.

EDIT: Although, in Black/white, Scrafty (with some proper breeding) can destroy the Elite Four on its own, and many of the gyms. the only person who gives it difficulty is the fighting guy, and if you give scarfty zen headbutt, that pretty much eliminates that risk.

yes I once had a Doduo in lower stages of the game. later when he/she became a Dotrio he/she could whipeout heal bars with one Tri-attack.
I always had that dotrio with me along with some other pokomon-that-needed-to-evolve and some eggs.

The evolve form of Whirlepede (I forget his name - I called him Twopi) was quite handy. His stats are actually fairly average but he picked up some very powerful attacks. He couldn't take down every threat, but he came close, especially when it was necessary. He pretty much trounced three of the elite four.

I also had an EV trained Yanmega once. Nuff said.

how did you get a swampert in RBY, and why fight him with the clearly superior pokemon his RBY team would have no real hope against since theres a clear split in the stat set up alone, not to mention new moves and abilities?

Wut?

>Swampert
>RBY

Pick one.

Swampert is Gen 3.

And Swampert can sweep any campaign, regardless.

What do you mean, proper breeding?

OT: I had a Metagross like that. Even against other level 100s, it killed with one attack.

My Sawk in Black. Initially he was just there to fill up the roster, then he pulled me out of a tight spot against Burgh and I began to actually consider him as decent.
He then proceeded to level like a badass and kick the everloving crap out of every gym after that including one manning Icirrus gym and almost defeating Alder by himself (Screw hydreigon!)

I love my Sawk. Currently just training for facing the Elite 4 but soon they will meet Sawk and cower before his might!

You sure about that?
to answer everyones questions, i know swampert wasnt gen 1. but his typing and moves could decimate the pokemon that gary used in your final showdown with him in gen 1.

I didn't solo the campaign with the mole I had a full team of six you can solo the campaign with pretty much any pokemon that has a decent move-set, the question is just have you ever played through pokemon with a pokemon that was way more powerful then the rest even though he was the same/lower level.

A Steelix named Rocky, also it was shiny gold so I presume it's teeth were made of diamond. My friend bragged about how he did all this breeding EV IV shit to his Electivire and said it was unstoppable. Two earthquakes and a critical hit cross chop later, ol' Rocky was still standing. The only times it ever fainted in game was during extremely long trecks into wild areas or if I felt like beating a gym leader without switching guys.

I know pseudo/true legendary pokemon aren't supposed to count, but what if we upped the game a bit? Let's say to, oh, I don't know, one level 100 legendary taking out the best five level 100 pokemon another player had to offer, including a Feraligator and another legendary.

I did that once. If you want to do the same just remember one important thing:
Ho-Oh can learn rest.

Does Snorlax count as pseudo-legendary? Because he could own anything. Anything. In fact, my aforementioned battle opened with a Snorlax duel. It lasted for many a minute, and neither of us dared to withdraw because we knew that whatever we sent out as a replacement would be going down.

I was going to say my Garchomp from Plantium but I guess I can't because of the op's edit.

In that case I'll go with my Gyardos from my Pokemon Black water type team.

First of waterfall and hyper beam or his basic power house attacks, hyper beam for its sheer strength and waterfall for its accuracy and the abilty to make opponent's flinch.

I also use Ice fang helps with dragons and those pesky grass types. Yes I know he's part flying, thus he doesn't have the 2x weakness to grass instead it just does normal damage. However poweful grass type attacks like leaf storm or frenzy plant really hurt him, so it's good to have a defence, plus there is a chance that the Ice fang will make the enemy flinch or even better freeze them.

Finally it's abilty to defend itself against his primary weakness electric type attacks, Earthquake Gyarados is a pretty fast pokemon but the quick claw does help.

Machamp in HG/SS. Starting from Whitney's gym (the point where I usually pick a Machop up.) the remaining 16 gyms, the elite 4 and Red have 82 pokemon combined. A properly set up Machamp will kick the shit out of 67 of them. ~82% 1-2 hit KO. Eighty Two Fucking Percent. It's just great.

I'm assuming this is casual or competitive. I don't really play competitively, so these are just some casual ones.

R/S/E: Breloom, easily. Whenever I did a new playthrough, I would ALWAYS make sure to get one. Useful a backup for the first gym, evolves early and remains more than useful throughout the rest of the game.

D/P/Pt: Infernape makes a pretty decent sweeper for the whole game. Later on in Platinum, I would look for a Scyther and use him a lot throughout the game.

B/W: Probably Sawk and Archeops. Sawk is available early on, doesn't need to evolve, and has some good moves early on. Archeops should be obvious, I mean look at it's base stats... (Atk 140, Def 65, Sp Atk 112, Sp Def 65, Spd, 110.) It's really weak in the defense department and has a crippling (to say the least) ability, but its attack and speed usually let it sweep teams before they can attack.

All of my Pokemon are that Pokemon. Accelgor, quick and powerful, fastest Pokemon around, large move pool. Mienshoa, quick and powerful, large move pool. Darmantian, quick and powerful, also including Belly Drum which is what made it possible to one shot every Pokemon the champion used, no heals too. Archeops, again quick and powerful, large move pool. Finally, Gengar, quick and powerful, large move pool. I'm starting to notice a pattern when it comes to choosing my Pokemon...

EDIT: Oh I thought the question was 'Do you have any Pokemon that can defeat all other Pokemon' so like a Pokemon that can even defeat Pokemon which are it's weakness. An example would be Darmantian vs Garchomp, Dragon and Ground.
