Gen 3: Breloom. I caught it as a shroomish on sappire and started with mudkip. It evolved well before Norman so it really helped beat his last slaking. Then when it learned sky uppercut and when I taught it giga drain it was unbeatable. Then in emerald my glalie DOMINATED! I expected it to be kinda weak but it got pokerus and it's stats were AWESOME. It easily took out most of pheobe and drake's team and beat steven's claydol in 1 hit. It also beat lucy's seviper in 2 hits.

Gen 4: I had a couple in Gen 4. First was toxicroak. That thing was powerful! It easily beat most of Byron's team and a big help with Lucian with it's sucker punch. It also managed to single-handedley beat all of Darach's team. 2nd was honchkrow. It and toxicroak beat lucian's team. It also won me many many wi-fi battles. 3rd was togekiss. I just evolved it recently so it hasn't made any big achievements yet but it's really powerful! It's never fainted.

Hell yea, man. Breloom is still a beastly figure. If your team doesn't have a member to disable it, then it can easily take out 6 foes. In Gen 4, Breloom regenerates 12.5% of its HP each turn when it is Poisoned. Give him a Toxic Orb and that makes him immune to status and gives him regenerative properties that dwarf Leftovers. Combine that with Leech Seed and you're talking about 20-40% per turn. With Substitute, Breloom is nigh unstoppable, recovering from any attack, only to throw 225 Power Focus Punches back. That, PLUS Breloom's signature Spore move that makes any foe fall asleep 100% of the time, makes him a true powerhouse.

I used Murkrow as my flying type in Diamond, and he/she works really well throughout the whole game once I turned it into a honchkrow


I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

Mine was probably the Walrein I had a few years back on Sapphire. I didn't expect that I'd really use it. Heck I didn't even know when Sealeo evolved into Walrein. He was poweful beyond belief and I crushed friends with him too.

A close runner-up would be the Crobat I had. I just raised it from a zubat to golbat so I could fill my pokedex. Then golbat evolved and I just continued raising it after that.

For me, it was my Pelliper that I got in Emerald. I first started using it as a Wingull for Roxanne, then Brawly. It eventually became my most used Pokemon. I then traded it over to FR, and I don't know if I accidentally deleted it or put it on my Pearl. =/

For me it was Bidoof, level five. I had given him lots of proteins and such, so he was pretty powerful, and then, be beat a level ten onyx with several shots... probably hard to believe, but it's true. ^_^

Right, well, I have this Furret, you know? And this Furret, this totally awesome hunk of death, right? When in my friend's Trainer house, the computer did this. The first turn, he used U-Turn, and ran away for most of the battle. Then, really late on, he was the last pokemon alive. My friend's Snorlax just KO'd something with Giga Impact, and out comes this awesome Furret of mine.
And while this Snorlax is recharging, Furret uses Me First, and spawns a STAB Me-Firsted DEATH GIGA IMPACT. A STAB, ME-FIRSTED, DEATH. GIGA. IMPACT.

That Snorlax died in one hit.

But no, that's not all. Next, he brings out a Dragonite. Dragonite uses something, and fails to damage this awesome Furret enough for a kill. Then, Furret uses Me-First AGAIN, and ONE-HIT KO'S A DRAGONITE WITH DRACO METEOR!

Also, its name is Howie. Howie is the most bad-ass Furret who ever lived. And he did this as an AI.
Currently doing nothing.

Porygon-Z was a hugely impressive Powerhouse for me. Despite the fact that I'd never raised it before, I found myself sweeping through most of the trainers in Pokemon Heart Gold. It's dead useful with a mean special attack. Not to mention Tri Attack, coupled with Adaptibility can be incredibly scary.

Except Porygon-Z, and even Porygon2 do so well just having Tri Attack and Psybeam / Charge Beam / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt. Their Special Attack is fantastic, especially for a Normal-type. Try them out. Their only crux is that you need to trade them twice to evolve.

Well there are several for me but for sure some of them...

Swellow- Back in the days when I only leveled my starter because I didnt think i needed to level anyone else I would catch other Pokemon for HM's and such... Well Exp Share popped around and I decided to give it to Swellow. When my starter (Marshtomp I believe) was beaten in battle my Swellow came out and completely dominated EVERYTHING... From then on one of my favorite flying types. I also started training all of my Pokemon instead of just the starter and ocaisionally one other Pokemon

Dugtrio- I used him back in Yellow basicly because he started fully evolved and was able to compeltely dominate Surge solo.. but honestly I never thought twice about him again... Until HG. I caught myself a diglet for the lulz and quickly realized his MASSIVE speed... Best revenge killer there is, no doubt.

And last but not least; Ambipom- I hated Ambipom... I HATED ambipom, the way he looked turned me off so much... Until I used him in battle... If you play Ambipom the right way he will never in a billion years lose a battle, one of my favorite competetive Pokemon without a doubt.

My argument wasn't that the Pokemon themselves were bad. Magnet Rise is a very viable move choice, but Lock-On and Zap Cannon is not. Think about it this way: if you use Lock-On and then Zap Cannon, you use two turns and attack with one 100 Power attack, but if you use Thunderbolt twice (in two turns), you do 190 Power attack... Almost twice as strong. Even Spark, doing 130 in two turns will do more.

Also, you said to give Metagross Magnet Rise... Well you can't really do that if you give it Earthquake, Hammer Arm, Lock-On, AND Zap Cannon. Metagross shouldn't even be USING Zap Cannon, since its ATK is so much higher than its SPC. That being said, Metagross without Meteor Mash / Bullet Punch is foolish.

Once again, Sheer Cold is banned in competitive gameplay... And you can beat the E4 with anything, without using items, if you have strong enough Pokemon. You don't need to rely on iffy two-turn tactics.

Good lord, if you're going to give the Regis those attacks, there isn't a point in Zap Cannon at all. You should be more worried about how Heatran can wipe out your entire team by itself.
As much as you're absolutely correct...I think he meant in game.

Anyways, back in my FireRed my Butterfree was just god like for me. Statusing things and the fact that psychic is a great attacking type in game made it to be quite the pokemon!!

Swellow @ Flame Orb
Guts
-- Facade
-- Brave Bird
-- U-Turn
-- Protect

The best the best the best lol

I hated Ambipom for different reasons -- because he seemed kind of useless for a Pokemon. But then I realized something great about him: He had Technician-boosted Fake Out, Quick Attack, Water Pulse, Shock Wave, Payback, Pursuit, Swift, Aerial Ace, Grass Knot, Hidden Power, Knock Off, and they added Low Kick in HGSS. Add that plus Agility, Nasty Plot, and Baton Pass and you've got someone of a star. I start every battle with Fake Out and it takes away about half the foe's HP off the bat.

Unfortunately, sir, Regice is much slower than Heatran and will never go faster than it. Therefore, the battle looks more like
