Top 10 STRONGEST Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet

[@a.n9796]

The fact that GameFreak finally gave delibird a power-up but made it too strong until it got banned is kinda sad and funny at the same time

[@keithr8600]

It's not banned in 'official Pokemon championships' Smogon is not law man, they are biased about their favorite metas and it gets annoying. There's a lot of new strong mons and strats to be found out. But the battles get really stale if you can use your favorite Pokemon just because a non official community said so

I have an Iron Bundle on my team, and it is so much fun to use in Pokemon battles because I have it use Freeze Dry and Water Pulse for STAB, Drill Peck for coverage against Fighting, and Flip Turn for when it needs to get out of a situation. It also has Jolly nature and Booster Energy to make it faster in battles, and its TeraType is Ice in order to increase Freeze Dry's power.

[@reddy4play]

Special attack down on a special attacker. And drill peck? Yeah idk why you even typed this out.

[@Emerald_Vizsla]

On the contrary, Palafin as a playthrough Pokemon has been clutch for me personally and I'd recommend it. I may be bias because it works a lot like Meowth with U-Turn which I use often, but it's very useful at the head of the party to type check the first pokemon an opponent uses, dealing some damage while safely switching out early for a better type coverage as well as fulfilling the task to costume change for later.

[@JakeReehl]

Except Meowth doesn’t come back more powerful. Not exactly the same

[@Biz_God]

I used iron treads that way with volt switch and my meowscarada had Uturn. It was good way to swap safe and get a good type coverage if it was bad match up

[@Emerald_Vizsla]

The habit of using switch out attacks is the focus of my comment. They surely aren't the same, I did say a lot like.

my go-to is gholdengo. that ability is just too bonkers good to pass up. I'm a bit sad that Glimmora didn't make the list but I'm glad it was on the honorable mentions. I usually don't bother with hazard setters but Glimmora is just so fun to use.

@@wilfordbrimley689 What do you think of Ceruledge?

[@NoName-ov5xf]

In my opinion, Chi Yu should not be an honorable mention but on the list. 100 base speed is, while not outstanding, still very good and thanks to its ability and the high Special attack it can easily make use of a Choice Scarf and go to town. This is very dangerous, especially with Dark Pulse having a 20% flinch chance, which can be devastating if it happens even once, since this thing doesn't allow you to take hits and waste a turn, otherwise it'll crush you. You can also just as easily run Choice Specs so nothing can switch into you since base 100 speed is still pretty fast. You can go even beyond that and run a Nasty Plot set, which can easily snowball or blow big holes when used correctly. This thing got banned in Nat Dex OU, that accentuates this things power even more

[@wilfordbrimley689]

He put dragapult above chi yu and annhihilape isn't on here. This list is a joke

Great list. Will say that I’d put Maushold as an honourable mention just for making me laugh.

[@CashoutRenny224]

Underrated opinion even tho it doesn’t have regenerator I think orthworm is the better shed tail-er because since he sometimes slower you can successfully have your next Pokémon keep the substitute. For example since you’re fast with cyclizar, if you use shed tail, the opposing Pokémon could be using an attacking move so when you send out the next Pokémon they would basically have no subs. With a slower and bulkier shed tailer the next Pokémon can hold the shed tail for another move

[@nathanbrown1293]

But you would still take damage and what of you lose below 50 hp?

Baxcaliber would be my #1 because it has access to Dragon Dance and it's signature move, Glaive Rush, hits really hard!

[@attilaszanto2275]

About Gholdengo blocking Defog and Rapid Spin, it also blocks Glimmora's signature move Mortal Spin due to being a steel-type. I don't know if that's too relevant, but still.

[@raedraconis]

I would add Maushold with loaded dice. Population Bomb is an INSANE move, even with the relatively low base attack.

[@ProductionNobody]

Add technician and king stone and you kill almost anything, and if not it has an insane chance to flinch

[@nobodyimportant7106]

[@hexbug101]

Wide lens is the item you want since each hit has its own chance to miss rather than having a fixed amount of hits every time you used it

[@pokeadventures8042]

Loaded dice doesn't affect pop bomb, it will always try to hit 10 times until it misses. I want to try a coil baton pass into Maushold with protective pads to avoid rocky helmet/rough skin

[@raedraconis]

Good to know--I'll switch it up. Thanks!

[@rikmetz4720]

Covert cloak is a great item for Gholdengo, this makes it also immune to side effects from offensive moves. So this way the opponent can't lower your stats or give you status conditions in anyway possible. Gholdengo is better then aegislash, as ghost/steel.

[@gabrielchee8470]

Tinkaton should have, at least, gotten an honorable mention. Its dual typing of Fairy and Steel, Mold Breaker and Own Tempo, its signature move Gigaton Hammer, and some decent coverage make it pretty viable in my opinion.

[@DarkShadowOblivion]

It's attack stat is actually pretty low and all that stuff is offensive. It does have a strong movepool for supporting in doubles though.

[@tipiilegends5482]

Tinkaton is sort of overrated I feel. It’s best offensive stat is it’s attack at a low base 75. Gigaton hammer is great but you can only use it once every 2 turns. It’s physical defence is low too. It’s speed is decent but not anything special. It’s typing is amazing but other than that it’s just got too low base stats. I tried using one in a playthrough team but it just couldn’t pull its weight against my other team members. I ended up dropping it for king-gambit

You kinda undersold Gholdengo a bit. Glimmora has a signature move, Mortal Spin, that's just Rapid Spin but Poison Type. That type would let Glimmora actually spin on ghosts, but Gholdengo's Steel type blocks that too.

[@WilliamX5000]

Kingambit, Corviknight and Chi-Yu, I can agree as honorable mentions. But not Glimmora, I feel like it's a pretty weak Pokemon, cause it's dual type's not really that good. And Cyclizar isn't a worthy Pokemon being in the Top 10 Strongest Gen 9 Pokemon either, cause Dragon/Normal doesn't work well, especially since Drampa was bad even without that dual type. Also, while Paradox Pokemon aren't Legendaries, they still can be as powerful as Legendaries in my opinion.

[@dr4ondestr0yer64]

I honestly believe that Pawmot deserves an honorable mention or a spot on this list. Its typing of Electric/Fighting is quite a solid type combo with only weaknesses to Ground, Flying, Psychic and Fairy. In addition, it’s got a very solid base Attack and Speed while also getting some good coverage to the majority of its weaknesses except Fairy and even then, combining its Iron Fist ability with the Punching Glove to increase power of punching moves without making direct contact makes it a great sweeper if used right. The set I generally run is Close Combat, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, and Fire Punch with Iron Fist + Punching Glove combined with 252 Atk and Speed with the Adamant Nature.
