which non legendary Pokemon is the best?

[VelvetHorror]

These are all personal opinions, because it's really what you do with a pokemon that make them strong. You can easily make a non-legendary stronger than a wild legendery to the point you can KO one of them.

The pokemon I personally think is the strongest is Typhlosion. He is weak against ground, rock, and water, but can learn Solar Beam to be able to take them all out. He can also learn Earthquake to be able to take out various non-flying pokemon. With Sunny Day, he can fire solar beams without charging up, and it'll boost whichever fire based attack you decide to teach him. If he has flash fire, he'll be immune to fire based attacks, and will actually get a boost from one. Then with Blaze, he'll be able to increase his fire attack power even further. Combined with STAB in terms of his fire technique, Flash Fire, Blaze, AND Sunny Day he could potentially increase the power of his fire attack by 300%. If the attack has a power of 150, it would then become a 450 power attack. That would take down just about anything.

The only other pokemon that I think would be on par compared to Typhlosion would be a Breloom with a Toxic orb. Due to Breloom's special ability, it would actually gain HP from being poisoned and since it would be poisoned, it would not be able to get burned, paralyzed, or frozen. You can also teach it the tm move Facade, which would increase in power to 140 since he would be poisoned. Unlike most moves in the 140-160 range, Facade has a lot of PP and Breloom's above average attack stat complements that move well. Pretty good combination I think.

Pokemon can only have one ability.

Quagsire and Barboach are both retardedly counter types meaning that they are respectivly water and ground and ground and electric. I like Ampharos for a good balance of defense and sp attack, Zangoose is extremely powerful with physical attacks, and I like my Buffalon alot. It's got Mega horn and Afro break. <3

*Rechecks* My apologies. I had looked online and found that Typhlosion had a "hidden ability" called Flash Fire. I thought that it was a secondary ability that a Typhlosion can have in addition to their ordinary ability. My bad.

But still, increasing a fire type attack by 250% is pretty impressive.

it is.

and you were porbably looking at the Dream World ability, which is like an alternative ability.

Like my example with vaporeon. its getting Hydration in the dream world, so you can have one with Hydration (heal status conditions when in rain), and one with water absorb (heals when hit by water attack), but not both at once.

Non Legendary Pokemon that I think is the best would be Charizard. I have always thought he was kick ass and he has never let me down as a pokemon. Sure he lose v Water and Electric and Rock to a lesser extent almost always delivers against all other pokemon.

He gets eaten alive by Stealth Rock (though really, who doesnt). Thats something I hope they remedy, since Stealth Rock combined with Spike/Toxic Spike Combo pretty much broke the game.

Well that is why I said almost always and to a lesser extent Rock pokemon as they usually have low damage moves but yes this skill did kinda fuck with game balance.

Seriously, though. I vote Alakazam. That ***** is strong. For a suicide bomber, that is. Because with defense like that, he might as well be a piece of paper with psychic powers.

Ninetales, I dont care much about Pokemoon, but that thing is just foxy.

Chikorita by far!
Ash's chikorita in the anime loved him so much, whenever I saw it i would d'aww :3

Garchomp is so good that the competitive battling scene banned him from regular play. In Gen IV you could only use Chomp when battling with legendary pokes.

But he has Speed. He's like gengar. As long as you hit first, screw the opponent.

Unless the opponent is Electrode. Or a Ninjask. Or another Alakazam. And then there's always that one time where the opponent is left with 1HP after your hit. -.-

Ah, EV training. I get how it works, but i've never really bothered to try it myself. I don't play competively, after all. And even if I did, most of the people who play Pokemon around my area suck so much, I can win with a under-leveled team.

On a sidenote, Gengar and Alakazam. Who would win in a fight?

Barring both dont have Focus Sash and were properly EV trained, Alakazam.

Its faster base speed wise at 120 where Gengar is only 110. it also has the higher base Sp. attack at 135 to 130. And Alakazam has a base 85 Sp. Def, while Gengar only sports a 75. If Alakazam used Psychic, then in one turn it could either OHKO it, or the next turn KO it. And actually, if it confuses Gengar, Gengar runs the risk of hurting itself, which would almost surely set it in the red.

The only saving grace for Gengar is it has a higher base HP stat at 60 to 55, but the Sp. Def would hold up Alakazam.
