Ranking All 151 Original Pokémon From Worst To Best

65. Charmeleon

005 Charmeleon
Nintendo

As with Wartortle, 65 shouldn't be seen as a negative placing for Charmeleon as it finds itself in far stronger company. Sort of skipped over in both the anime and the special Pokémon origins, it still manages to have an unmissable coolness to its design if not its temperament.

64. Cloyster

091 Cloyster
Nintendo

If you breed, train and level it correctly, a Cloyster can end up with a defence stat of 504. That is the highest individual stat possible in Generation 1. Massive respect.

63. Exeggutor

103 Exeggutor
Nintendo

Hahahahahahaha just look at it man hahahahahaha mad one.

62. Farfetch'd

083 Farfetch D
Nintendo

One of the few monsters in the franchise you could genuinely just pluck out and place in virtually any other animal-based fantasy series. Hell, give one its own series where it just goes around solving mysteries and batting folk on the head with its leek. A brilliant creature design.

61. Dugtrio

051 Dugtrio
Nintendo

Just three totally hetero dudes, having a hug underground, who can use Earthquake. Boss.
