Who is the strongest Legendary?

[Gabri]

I think it is Arceus anyway. There's a reason to be called "The God of Pokémon".

 

[Gabri]

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

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.

This is what I think:
1.Deoxys
2.Arceus
3.Mewtwo

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.

Ok, I made a mistake, but my English isn't perfect 'cause I'm Portuguese, I didn't remember the word "best".
Deoxys is sure a strong Pokémon, and I admire it, I think It's great, but for me this is the order of what I think:

1 - Arceus
2 - Deoxys
3 - Rayquaza
4 - Mewtwo
5 - Lugia

Why? Some of you ask this question. i'll tell the reasons.

1 - Arceus can have any type you want, can learn a lot of moves, has super-high base stats, and is called "the God of Pokémon", which means it is the... I'll call it "supreme ruler".

2 - Deoxys is a strong Pokémon too. Has many forms, but in every form he has high base stats, specially Attack and Speed. Even in Defense form Deoxys has higher Attack Stat than many Pokémon. Is a Psychic Type (one of the best) and can learn many powerful attacks.

3 - Rayquaza is a super-speedy Pokémon with high Attack too, is a Dragon Type, can learn many attacks too. When in levels 50+, he has super high Speed.

4 - Mewtwo is very strong in Attack and Speed, but you all have forgotten one thing: Defense. Mewtwo is one of the worst Legendaries in terms of Defense. Even Togetic, a weak Pokémon, and Chansey, weak too, have more Defense than Mewtwo. So, for me, Mewtwo isn't in Top3. Cannot learn so many attacks like the Top3.

5 - Lugia. The best Legendary Pokémon in terms of Defense (Not counting Defense form of Deoxys) and strong in Speed. Can learn Water, Fire, Electric (few), Dragon... Many types of attacks. Great Pokémon too.

These are my reasons. If you have anything against them,you're free to post. You're free to have your opinion.

Arceus And deoxeys no hands done arc has the best stats and dexoeys has some wicked psychic attacks o.o

 

[JL3]

I say HO-OH is,but thats just my opinion.

 

[Raifreak]

Deoxys is just a powerhouse. =)

 

[Mr_Cash]

l dunno ln the game but ln the anime mew ls the strongest

 

[Pocket Monster Researcher Archer]

arceus and deoxys are the best ledgends. kyogre is also one of the best because its water attacks do double damage.

1 - Arceus can have any type you want, can learn a lot of moves, has super-high base stats, and is called "the God of Pokémon", which means it is the... I'll call it "supreme ruler".

I agree that Arceus's abilities make it superior, but compared to Deoxys you could call Arceus a jack of trades. Good in everything, but not as good as Deoxys in any particular stat, keeping all its forms in mind.

2 - Deoxys is a strong Pokémon too. Has many forms, but in every form he has high base stats, specially Attack and Speed. Even in Defense form Deoxys has higher Attack Stat than many Pokémon. Is a Psychic Type (one of the best) and can learn many powerful attacks.

Exactly. Deoxys-A is the epitome of a sweeper. Supreme attack, special attack, and speed. The downside, as with any sweeper, is that if someone squeaks out a supereffective attack, it'll probably get OHKOd.

3 - Rayquaza is a super-speedy Pokémon with high Attack too, is a Dragon Type, can learn many attacks too. When in levels 50+, he has super high Speed.

Rayquaza truly is to be feared, but with a 4x Ice weakness, it probably isn't going to last too long.

4 - Mewtwo is very strong in Attack and Speed, but you all have forgotten one thing: Defense. Mewtwo is one of the worst Legendaries in terms of Defense. Even Togetic, a weak Pokémon, and Chansey, weak too, have more Defense than Mewtwo. So, for me, Mewtwo isn't in Top3. Cannot learn so many attacks like the Top3.

Not like Deoxys-A or Rayquaza couldn't be taken down by one Shadow Ball or Ice Beam by a Focus Sashed special sweeper anyways.

5 - Lugia. The best Legendary Pokémon in terms of Defense (Not counting Defense form of Deoxys) and strong in Speed. Can learn Water, Fire, Electric (few), Dragon... Many types of attacks. Great Pokémon too.

I admit this thing is a pain in the ass to bring down. I suppose it's a good thing for me that it has five different weaknesses to exploit. Its average offensive strength is offset by the use of godly moves like Sky Attack, made worse by the fact that it can definitely take the hit it needs to launch the attack in the following turn. No wonder my best friend loves this thing... <.<;

Arceus is the strongest because it's the god of the Pokemon!
And because it's the god of Pokemon it must be the strongest :laugh:

And it can have any type you want...

 

[kuramahiei1091]

Considering alot of legendaries are psychics I'd say Darkrai'd have a decent advantage.

I say HO-OH is,but thats just my opinion.

ho-oh + rock slide = ho-oh on the ground with it's tounge hanging out.
