It's Deoxys. There's no debate about this well-known fact; it has the highest attack stat of any existing Pokemon when in Attack Form.

Yes, it's true, but the best legendary is not chosen only by its attack. It is chosen by all stats, type, everything. But I'll respect your opinion, and many people choose Deoxys. But for me, it's Arceus.

I think the strongest legendary Pokemon is Arceus. Because it has the highest base stat.

Arceus with Life Orb, Extremspeed, Shadow Claw and Earthquake > Deoxys any day. Few things will be able to do anything against it after it has a Swords Dance or two up, while Deoxys gets raped by any first-priority move due to its abysmal Defenses and HP.
arcues is the most powerful becuase it can be anytype. and it has the highest base stats. but palkia is much better than dialga =].
Bad reasoning imo. Plates fail on Arceus, Life Orb is much sexier.

*edit* Just one more thing about Ichida's post, Deoxys is also inferior to Mewtwo and Darkrai. Mewtwo has a bit less attack power for a whole lot more bulk, while Darkrai has a STAB super effective move against quite a lot of ubers combined with amazing Speed and Sp.Attack and good defensive stats as well as a 90% accurate sleep move and a trait that basically gives it a free Nightmare.

The topic was "strongest" legendary, not "most well-rounded" or "best defended." In terms of pure strength, Deoxys outsmacks all of them.

It is mewtwo.

Arceus has the highest base stats - so? What you need to look at is stat distribution. Mewtwo has a base stat sum of 40 lower than arceus, but they are distributed in a logical sense - to make mewtwo strike first, and kill. Arceus's stats are evenly spread out, making him mediocre in everything.

And for every plate arceus can attach, mewtwo can use a super-effective move against him. AND because of the fact that mewtwo is alot faster than arceus, he will have the first move. AND, with mewtwo's outrageous special attack, combined with a supereffective move, will have arceus overwhelmed into a 1HKO.

Deoxys does not compare to either remotely... I'd put lugia right behind mewtwo and arceus.

Arceus. He's the god of all pokemon
Ash releases strong pokemon and Paul releases weak pokemon.Ash=stupid,Paul=smart.
Congratulations! Your Super Smash Bros. Melee has evolved into Super Smash Bros. Brawl!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl wants to learn the character Lucario.
However, Super Smash Bros. Brawl already knows four pokemon characters.
Should a character be deleted and replaced with Lucario?
Which character should be forgotten?
1,2, and... ... ... Poof!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl forgot Mewtwo.
And...
Super Smash Bros. Brawl learned Lucario!

Deoxys loses because that's just one form of it. It's not fair to just pick whichever one will work best in that situation..

Just like my lv 100 magikarp will kill a level 1 mewtwo if the mewtwo is frozen solid and doesn't know any moves. My magikarp works best in THAT situation...

It IS fair because there's very little reason to use any other form of Deoxys. Attack Form has the highest attack power of all existing Pokemon, and speed enough to outrun Mewtwo.

Yes, but what I mean with "strongest" is "best". Counting everything. But it's true, Deoxys has a super-strength when in Attack form. If you want strength, go catch Deoxys in FireRed.

In D/P Deoxys can be in any form you want, and since Arceus is in the running, we're talking in terms of D/P, meaning Deoxys-A is accessible. Don't judge something based on the title it's given. Goldeen is called the Sea Queen but we all know damn well Goldeen sucks. And if you meant "best," then you should have said "best." The definitively "strongest" Pokemon is Deoxys-A.

Arceus, because it has the highest base stat, and it can become any type it wants as long as you make it hold a plate.
Mew is also pretty good because it can learn every single move there is.
